Would you let a parent stay at daycare and look over your shoulder while you feed their baby or change a diaper? It is important to know what's going on with your return. You can ask for a copy before the filing is made, but I doubt that a tax preparer would let you literally sit next to them and watch every keystroke.
Well, in so many words that's what she suggested, as in I need to be aware of what he's entering which is what Mr. Copeland advised also. And watching every line he fills in is exactly what leaves me feeling awkward and uncomfortable. But I'll either ask him to let me see it before he files electronically or I'll have him print it all out and I can send it in myself.
