    What I was looking for in an accountant I found in John. Someone who is knowledgeable, easily accessible, and prompt with answers. With other accountants I had to wait days, even weeks, before I got a call back. I spoke with John the day I called. Definitely recommend.

    Performing accounting transactions and preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers. According to a study released by the US Government's General Accounting Office, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million taxpayers) believe they benefited from using a professional Accountant and tax preparer who is certified. 

    If you decide to use a tax professional, you will generally find two main categories of tax service providers: the licensed tax professional—a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), or the unlicensed tax professional—a tax preparer. So which one should you choose? The answer really depends on your needs. If your tax situation is simple enough that you just need your income and deductions organized on a tax return, then you can get by using a tax preparer and generally paying a lower fee. However, if your tax needs require added value knowledge and service, then you should work with a CPA. The tax preparer category generally includes non-licensed professionals who are subject to minimal regulation, if any at all. That means that tax preparers are not required to take Continuing Education Courses (CPEs), which are a requirement for all CPA professionals. Taking these courses not only provides professional expertise, but also enhances a professional’s knowledge of new laws and tax planning strategies. Additionally, a tax preparer’s lack of licensing will limit their ability in discussing your particular tax situation upon a notice or examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state tax authorities. A CPA has to obtain a proper degree, pass a complicated exam, obtain professional experience, and face regulation by a state board. Without completing the proper degree, tax preparers will not have the basic accounting skills required to prepare business tax returns. Additionally, simple items like loss carryovers from prior years can be omitted on your current year’s tax return due to a lack of understanding. A tax preparer can take your various income items, input them to tax return software, and press print. Most people can take items and input them to any software that they know how to use, but this is also assuming that they know the rules. For example, a tax preparer can enter partnership losses into tax software, but does he know whether the partner in question has the tax basis to deduct the losses? The software has the ability to limit those losses if you also enter the basis information, but does your tax preparer knows how to calculate your basis, which could be very complex at times? Generally, a CPA will have better tools and more insight to assist you in researching complex tax positions, as well as a larger knowledge base that they can apply in minimizing your tax liability, within the limits of the tax code. We will be happy to review your tax situation and advise you on what is the best fit for you. We generally recommend the services of a CPA if your tax situation is more complex than wages and a few interest income items. Here is another way to look at this: the point of buying insurance is to protect you if something happens, right? Using a CPA is a sort of insurance policy for your taxes and is worth the extra cost, especially if your tax situation is complex.
