that only 2 of the 1 filed accurate returns. >> that means 17 of the 19 got it wrong. to the tune of either $53 off on one end or $3700 off on the other end. you know what uncle sam does when you get the taxes wrong you get a letter, can you get an audit. so this is serious stuff. >> what would you ask a tax preparer? >> before picking one i would want to know about their background. how long they have been doing it where they got their education and like to know where they will be in a couple of months if they do this for the season and disapoor or in place in the event uncle sam says it is time to reconsider. >> they are licensed whose responsibility is that? it will fall to the state that's what is going to happen. this is what the federation wants. legislatures like the one in

states where the preparers are not licensed do something. pass legislation. require that the preparers are licensed or require them to take an exam or both. the feds are not doing anything about this. and they can pop up january, disappeared then leave you holding the bag. are you trusting them with your financial information. they don't have to follow the checks and take a test and prove they are educated that's a problem. before you pick un, be careful, why do to them they don't charge as much. that's likely the case. the tax preparer will charge less than a certified public accountant. shop around i think the software these days is so good you may get a more ting accurate return using

polyped -- as opposed to going. >> are you responsible either way. it is up to you. >> now to paul. we have action coming. >> the winters with the el nino, nerve a dull moment with clear skies and things changing, not bad. great sun set. look at the time lapse. can you see the high clouds moving along the jet stream. a sky like that will ultimately give you a nice sun set. i see a bunch of photos that's at 10:00. appreciate that. as we said weather systems will be on the move. this is going to slip to the east. ons backside we'll get into the warmer atmosphere. tomorrow you know it will be a good day with a mixture of sun and clouds and in the 70s. good to be outside. and they are on the go the first

there is a more significant front out in the rockies. that's the one that will bring us a squall line on friday morning and a storm up the coast. that will bring us some very cold air our way. right now. and compare the temperatures now what they were. and big positive numbers. and there is no frost. the trend will continue. 61 and 40. and moving off the coast. it does not do much. that will slide to the east. heading up the coast for this

and 21 chicago. and 36. buffalo 22. not bad. 50. not dicey tomorrow and not tomorrow night. don't be concerned tomorrow night about having a weather event early in the morning. it will wait at that time there will be energy coming our way along an active front a brief. belief return of moisture. i think most of the energy will stay north of us and then there may not be enough of an opportunity for the air mass to go from being cold and dry. there are limiting factors the squall line could bring some heavy rain we'll watch out for that. and the snow storm up the coast. we had great response on the sky

that may be in need that need a smile. and the rough riders that's what we're about. >> look forward to seeing them this weekend. >> the news keeps on going. we're on facebook, twitter and instagram.
