Often there is a tax preparer (not a CPA) doing the actual work in the CPA's back office ;-)
What tax program are you talking about?
+1If your "barely itemizing" you could try to bunch your itemized deductions every other year and take the standard deduction in the odd year. Move charitable giving to be generous every other year and tight in odd years----give in advance in December one year and push off into January for the year not itemizing. You can do the same thing with state taxes if your doing estimated payments.
Having your tax info sent to India is scary. If that can't get your identity stolen, I don't know what else to try. Your info would have to be accessible by a countless number of people.^ The last time I used a CPA firm (associate CPA is a farmer friend of 30 years), for son's Canadian income in college (fellowship, scholarship, teaching, stipend) they used a Canadian firm for the Canadian portion and the US portion was sent to India but was delayed because the Indian people quit inmass to work for another outfit and a new outsourced firm had to be found and vetted.
