South Florida Real Estate Market in Recovery

Driving around South Florida, you will notice significantly fewer "For Sale" signs than just a few months ago. A signal that the South Florida real estate market is on the road to recovery, thanks to bargain deals, cheap financing and federal tax incentives.

Newly released real estate figures show single-family home sales are up 47% and multi-family condo sales are up by 81% from 2009. This suggests that the real estate market is beginning to stabilize in South Florida.

Beware of Tax Preparer Fraud



Tax preparer fraud occurs when tax return preparers claim inflated business or personal expenses, including false deductions and excessive exemptions. Tax preparers may also manipulate income figures to qualify for fraudulent tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.

In many situations, the taxpayer is not aware of the fraudulent tax preparation, but is still held responsible for the false return by the IRS.

While there are a great deal of reputable tax preparers, the IRS urges taxpayers to choose wisely in order to avoid additional taxes and penalties.

For helpful tips to avoid tax preparer fraud visit the Tropical Financial Credit Union website.
