GOOD MORNING AMERICA ON PREPARER LEGISLATIONTips on protecting yourself
Here are some important items to consider when hiring a tax professional:
What is her/his experience and training?
Is she/he licensed? (In Florida only EA's, CPA's, Tax Attorneys & Actuaries are licensed)
Is the office open in June, September, December, when you get a letter from IRS or have questions?
Are you comfortable in sharing the most intimate financial details of your life with her/him?

Venable Accounting Inc is ready to help you get your 2009 tax filing behind you. At Venable Accounting we realize that preparing your return can be a complicated process. So we go beyond just preparing your return. Our professional, friendly staff is available 12 months a year to address your concerns, answer your questions, and give you the best information possible when you need to make decisions affecting your tax situation.
Tax Simplification and Paper Reduction are nice words, but obviously our legislators have "fuzzy dictionaries". It is becoming more and more difficult for anyone with more than a W2 to prepare their own return. Don't miss a deduction, let the professionals sort it out. But please, choose your preparer wisely.
Anyone can put up a sign, prepare your return, take your money, and leave you holding the bag at audit time. We've seen many web sites claiming they "sat for" the EA or CPA exam. The question is, did they pass the EA exam and IRS background check? For more advantages of hiring a tax professional licensed to practice before the IRS look at our What's an EA? page.
