IMPORTANT LEGAL TIP: Only when your tax return is prepared by an attorney can many of the things  you tell the preparer be protected by "attorney-client" privilege. The privilege does not extend to items and documents  that went into the preparation of any tax return prepared. The IRS and courts can force your accountant, C.P.A. and enrolled agent to reveal everything you tell them even though it is in confidence!
