This year I am adding a tax preparer to my business, in addition to myself. I have listed both as users. However, when the new preparer signs on using her own credentials, new tax returns started by her show me as the preparer. I know you can manually change the preparer code on the information worksheet, but this seems cumbersome, especially when she will be doing hundreds of tax returns. It also seems like it could cause issues when a return prepared by someone else shows my name in the preparer signature block. I don't want to be responsible for another preparer's work if it gets reviewed by IRS. We are both Enrolled Agents. Also, it seems to be a security compromise if any preparer can go into the system, file inaccurate returns and then utilize another preparer's code for filing. Of course, I don't expect that to happen in my situation, but it seems a security flaw and risk in the ProSeries system.
