If you thought that a Certified Public Accountant is somebody who only looks into profit and loss accounts, you would be wrong. A CPA is a multi-service provider who, apart from filing taxes, also is a business consultant and legal advisor. An ordinary accountant will have only an accounting background, but every CPA has completed an education program of minimum of five years in a college or university. Besides, CPA's go through stringent testing before they can begin practice as an accounting professional. A CPA can help you with tax deductions, tax exemptions and he assist you with tax planning. You could hire a CPA throughout the year, or just for filing your returns before tax due date.
So when you hire a CPA, you can be sure that he knows what he is doing. Someone who has recently separated from his spouse, gone through a divorce recently, or wants to document his tax deductions on the basis of medical expenses, charitable contributions and mortgages, must all consider the services of a CPA. Apart from the changing and complex tax regulations, an expert CPA helps you avoid making the wrong tax deductions. If at all you made an exemption that you do not qualify for, then the IRS can extract a penalty with the refund amount. You could even miss out on claiming a deduction that you actually qualify for if you do not know about it. You can be sure that the IRS is not going to make that deduction for you, unless you claim it. A CPA advises you on all these matters and more.
The first and foremost thing that you must do is ask yourself what you require from a CPA. A CPA may offer a lot of services, but what matters the most are your needs. Discuss services with at least 4 CPA's. Verify them for licenses and certification. Once you do that, you can choose the one who offers a mix of high quality and professional services as well as reasonable pricing. Ask for referrals of people the CPA has served in the past. Verify with them about how good the CPA’s services are. Better still, call these referrals and confirm their experience with the CPA.
