                        All paid tax preparers are required to register with the IRS each year and renew their Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN).  They are also required to include the PTIN on any returns they prepare and sign the return.  The PTIN allows the IRS to match up incorrectly prepared and falsified returns with those who prepaid them.

                        You may or may not know who Iggy Azalea is, depending upon your musical taste and exposure, but if you're facing a Tax Lien, you may have something in common with the Australian rapper.

                        The IRS has advised taxpayers to avoid being tempted to take false larger deductions or expenses on their tax returns, thereby paying less than what they should owe in taxes and possibly receiving larger refunds.

                        It doesn't matter what the reason is behind needing to amend your return, the good news is that there is still time to make changes, not only to the 2014 that you just filed but also to other year's returns that you've previously filed.
