Can you imagine yourself in any of the following NJ Tax Preparer Insurance Claim examples?

• A tax preparer left out Form-1099 interest income while arranging the tax return of a certain client. Due to the insurance coverage, the claim was protected under the terms of the policy for reimbursement of related IRS penalty of $2,015 assessed to the taxpayer.
• A tax preparer overseeing a client’s quarterly sales tax return filed late. This caused the state to assess the tax payer a penalty of more than $3,500. Fortunately, the claim was paid under the terms of the tax preparer’s insurance policy.
• A tax preparer made a bookkeeping mistake while calculating the beginning accounts receivable balance. This caused an understatement of gross receipts that was ultimately carried over to the tax return. Although the IRS assessed a penalty, the optional bookkeeping coverage that the tax preparer had in place came to the rescue. The claim was settled for over $2,500.
