Tax season is busy. Even the most careful tax preparer can make a mistake or simply be accused of making a mistake. Most issues will be resolved amicably and without incident, but unfortunately, sometimes that just isn't the case.
That is why it is important for you to consider tax preparer Errors and Omissions insurance coverage for youself and your tax preparation business employees. Error and Omissions insurance covers monetary damages you and your named employees may be required to pay in case of negligent acts, errors or omissions resulting from the preparation of individual, partnership, corporate or fiduciary, city , county, state or federal tax returns, even if the claim or suit is groundless, false or fraudulent.
