18-FEB-16 SYNOPSIS: Under current law, Certified Public Accountants, Attorneys, and Enrolled
Agents are required to obtain a license or certification in order to prepare tax returns in
Alabama. However, there are few provisions in place to protect consumers against individual

would require certain tax preparers to register with the Department, prior to preparing returns,
which will help regulate services, prohibit unregistered persons from performing said services,
and establish penalties for violators. It would also establish qualifications for registration,
requirements of disclosures to consumers, and exemptions to those obligated to register. The
legislation also establishes an Individual Tax Preparers Fund that will be used to provide

of a confrontation between other persons. Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of

1 23-FEB-16 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the State Ethics Commission may issue advisory opinions
