Warning: your tax preparer might be selling insurance on commission. Preparers who sign up to be Certified Enrollment Entities for Obamacare get $58 every time they talk some sucker into signing up, plus $25 each year when they renew. It’s like a permanent annuity if they sign up a person who renews dependably. So when it comes to advising clients about whether to buy Obamacare, what are the chances you will get objective advice?

Is this even legal? Definitely not ethical...
This is why I avoid chain tax prep companies.
And I'm confident every single one of them have this or it's equivalent from the other 56 states

What else have they been doing for the Feds?
Well, if they're enrolled agents with the IRS, they've been lying and misleading people the whole time.
What? You mean this is all like some scam for people to to make a fast buck?
Unbelievable, isn't it?
Who would have thought this was all just some money making scheme? :roll:
Nothing like having the government put a bounty out on you. Just when you thought this steaming pile of excrement couldn't get any worse.
Taking an already unaffordable piece of crap and artificially inflating the cost of same by paying out royalties.
More proof the government should keep its nose out of the private sector.
