Abstract

Experimentally examines taxpayer preference for aggressive advice using a national sample of U.S. taxpayers. Investigates whether taxpayers agreed with preparers' advice in ambiguous situations that varied by type of preparer recommendation, probability of audit, and whether or not there would be a severe penalty. Concludes that on average, taxpayers do not have a preference for aggressive tax advice.
