I think a major value proposition you could offer (eventually) is ratings of tax professionals. More than just rating though. For example, if someone owns several rental properties, certain Tax Preparers specialize in that, whereas most would be out of their element. So a Tagging system might come in handy. You could tag your return with "Real Estate", or "Home office", or "Moved several times", etc. Perhaps, if sanetax has access to the completed returns, this tagging could be automated. Even if not automated, you can easily restrict the tagging/voting to people who actually used the Tax Preparer, thereby mitigating the problem of fake reviews. The end result is real, reliable information about which Tax Preparers specialize in what I need. That would be awesome.
