I thought this topic would be humming in here. Okay. I never wanted to go through the hoops, thought that after 20 years of preparing returns almost without error, I felt the Competency Testing, continued education credits and finger printing were a bit much. Thankfully, I never spent a dime on it other than my PTIN.
Here's my point, what provisions or recourse do people have for money spent testing & training for this failed program?
Secondly, I planned to retire if need be as I'll be 62 this summer, so what do I do about the clients I lost when I told them last year that I might not be doing this next year do to these requirements. Who reimburses me for that?
