Your chosen tax preparer is of course being paid to help you with your taxes, but it’s in the interests of both parties to try and make the process as simple as possible. You are doubtless paying your preparer by the hour, so the easier their job is, the less time it’ll take them, and if your tax preparer is getting bogged down trawling through your receipts or income documents, they may simply make themselves unavailable to you when the next season comes around.
