If you had your tax return prepared..you read the fine print?

Tax preparation firms can already sell — with written consent from the taxpayer — information from an individual's return to affiliated groups, such as any other part of a holding company affiliated with them. The IRS proposal would drop the affiliation requirement, enabling anyone to buy the information.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said in a letter last week to IRS Commissioner Mark Everson that taxpayers often hastily sign documents and tax forms prepared by commercial firms without reading them.

I prepare my own taxes so I didnt know about this. However, I am not suprised about it either.
 
I heard about it on the news last night. I know several of my friends who have their taxes done. I'm telling them to be VERY careful about what they are signing.
