What is a Tax Preparer Bond?
A tax preparer bond is a type of surety bond currently required of registered tax preparers.
The tax preparer bond guarantees that those who prepare other people’s tax returns will do so in an honest, diligent, and discreet manner, and in accordance with state laws and regulations
Since tax preparers have access to individuals’ personal and financial information, this bond guarantees their professionalism and ethical conduct when working with such information.
Like all other bonds, tax preparer bonds function as an agreement between the principal (the registered tax preparer), the obligee (the state authority requiring the bond), and the surety bond company that issues the bond.
If a tax preparer should mishandle the information they have access to, commit errors in their work, or not comply with state regulations for tax preparers, the surety bond offers protection and financial compensation to their clients.
In such a case, the obligee may file a claim against the bond and request financial compensation for any harms caused by the preparer. The surety may then compensate the claimant for up to the full amount of the bond. The tax preparer, in return, will then have to indemnify the surety for the compensation it has paid to the obligee.
