Need recommendations for reliable tax preparer - overwhelmed with choices

Make sure whoever you choose is a licensed EA (Enrolled Agent) or CPA. Stay away from the big box stores like H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt - they typically hire seasonal workers with minimal training. Look for someone who's been in business for at least 5 years and check their reviews on Google and BBB.

Before you pick a preparer, you might want to check out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your previous transcripts to spot any issues. Costs like a buck but helps you know what questions to ask your new preparer. I use it to double check my preparers work tbh https://taxr.ai

where r u located? might be able to help

Check with your states CPA society website. They usually have directories of certified pros in your area. Thats how I found mine

Whatever u do get everything in writing and make sure they sign the return as a paid preparer. learned that one the hard way lol

anyone else think its crazy how much these people charge?? like bro its just putting numbers in boxes fr fr
