Every year, taxpayers must consider whether they will file their own tax returns or hire a professional to work with them. As modifications to the tax code change the ways in which people will be taxed, more and more taxpayers are seeing an increased need to seek out professional tax resolution. There are numerous options when it comes to hiring professional tax help, including local and national tax preparation centers and even online services. In comparing Certified Public Accountants with other tax preparation services or resolution specialists, both are able to help individuals prepare and submit their tax returns. However, hiring a CPA can enable taxpayers to receive thorough service from a certified public accountant who will take an in depth look at the client’s tax situation.
As one of the most educated and highest qualified varieties of professionals in the world, CPAs are able to help businesses and individuals with every type of tax issue, including IRS audit and tax debt. The majority of all CPAs have a bachelor or masters degree, and they are required to complete continuing education courses every two years to maintain their license. CPAs must also meet certain ethical and code of conduct standards that are established and monitored by state and national professional organizations.
Tax resolution specialists do not necessarily have an undergraduate or a graduate degree. They are not governed by the same professional organizations that set the ethical standards of CPAs. However, they are able to help individuals and businesses establish a tax preparation system that can help with managing finances all year. These professionals can also identify key factors to help businesses and individuals potentially avoid future audits and other tax problems. They can also help with addressing tax liens, wage garnishment and other tax penalties.
