The Internal Revenue Service said it will begin requiring paid tax-return preparers to register with the agency, take competency exams and meet continuing-education requirements. Attorneys, certified public accountants and enrolled agents won’t be subject to the new testing and education plans. The changes will take years to implement and won’t be in effect for the 2010 filing season, the IRS said.

Doesn’t anyone see this as a problem?
(1) The tax code is way too complex.
(2) Experts don’t need education or continuing education. (Guess experts are just better than actual people.)
(3) The IRS can’t get their orders out in a timely fashion.
The DOWGs (Dead Old White Guys) funded gooferment on tariffs. Should have been good enough for the limited functions that were allowed.
