Ghost Tax Preparers Are Real — and They Can Destroy Your Finances

A ghost preparer is someone who prepares your tax return but refuses to sign it, or signs it with your name, making it look self-prepared.
They collect their fee and disappear, leaving you legally responsible for anything that goes wrong.

Watch for these warning signs:
🚩 They won't sign the return. By law, paid preparers must sign every return they prepare and include their PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number). No signature, no PTIN = major red flag.
🚩 They promise a big refund before seeing your documents. Nobody can estimate your refund without knowing your income, deductions, and filing situation. If they're promising big numbers upfront, something's wrong.
🚩 Their fee is based on your refund size. Legitimate preparers charge for their time and expertise, not a percentage of your refund. This incentivizes inflating your refund fraudulently.
🚩 They want your refund deposited into their account. Your refund belongs to you. It should go directly into your bank account, not through a third party.
🚩 They can't be found after filing season. If the person who filed your return has no permanent address, no website, and no way to reach them in August when the IRS sends you a letter, that's a problem.
🚩 They pressure you to sign blank forms. Never sign a return you haven't reviewed. You are responsible for everything on it.
Your tax return is a legal document. Who prepares it matters.

Real estate investors: if you've been turned down because your W-2 income doesn't support the loan, DSCR financing was designed for you.

DSCR = Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Instead of qualifying based on personal income, the lender qualifies based on the property's rental income vs. debt payments.

DSCR = Annual Rental Income ÷ Annual Debt Service

A DSCR of 1.25 means the property earns 25% more than it costs to service the debt, a strong position for approval.

Whom DSCR loans work for:
• Investors with multiple properties and complex income
• Self-employed investors whose tax returns show modest net income
• Investors who want to scale without W-2 income verification

Parks Projects NJ works with real estate investors to organize their financial profiles and connect them with DSCR and hard-money lenders nationwide, including broker-friendly options for rural and non-rural markets.
