What do you do when it's tax time, but you don't have a tax pro you trust?

 

What do you do when it's tax time, but you don't have a tax pro you trust?

Tax pros aren't like ice cream stores where you can get a tiny white spoon and do a taste test.

Tax pros aren't like department stores where you can run your hands over all the different blankets to find just the one you want against your skin.

Tax pros aren't like perfume.  You can't spray a tiny dollop of us on your wrist to see how well we blend with you. 

So, how do you choose if you can't taste, feel, or smell us?

The best way is to read reviews and see what others say. Ask your friends for a referral.  And, look to see if the tax pro has a Facebook business page; see what the tax pro has to say.

Since the initials behind our names are confusing and unfamiliar to most folks, vet your pro carefully.  

Opting to go with the lowest-cost provider can leave you with a tax pro who won't return your calls if you get into trouble with the IRS.

I can't tell you how many new clients I have picked up over the years simply because their tax pro would not answer the phone when the client got a letter from the IRS.

Not every tax pro knows how to deal with the IRS.

Hire a tax pro who will answer your phone calls and emails.   Hire a tax pro who will stand behind her work.  Hire a tax pro who knows how to deal with the IRS.

Hire an Enrolled Agent...

Follow my Facebook business page.   It's entertaining and educational.

See you soon.
