tax corrections act of 2025
SB 1274, the "Tax Corrections Act of 2025," prohibits state revenue department employees, agents, and contractors from preparing tax returns for compensation. This law directly affects state tax workers and their contractors, banning them from providing paid tax return preparation services to the public. Violations result in immediate dismissal or removal from duties under the law. The bill focuses solely on restricting tax return preparation by state-affiliated personnel, not on changes to taxpayer obligations or tax rates. It was enacted after passing both legislative chambers and receiving the governor’s signature in May 2025.
