irvingfan | Need to hire someone to do my taxes. Do I need a CPA? |
Or is an accountant (with lots of tax experience) enough? A friend says if the preparer is not a CPA he cannot "sign off" if I get audited. But she could not explain exactly what she meant by "sign off". Can someone clear this up? Thanks! |

Any paid tax return preparer (an H&R block seasonal employee or counterpart somewhere else or higher level practitioner) must "sign off" on a return they prepared if they get paid.
A CPA, Enrolled Agent (my designation) or an attorney can represent you at an audit or anything else with IRS. The person who prepared the return can represent you at an audit, but nothing else.
A CPA is the only person who can sign off to certify a financial statement. |

You can do your taxes yourself unless you are in a complicated situation - a proprietorship, partnership, lot of real estate deals with depreciation, foreign taxes and regulations, own a mutual fund
- along that line. If you are not comfortable, get on the National Association of Enrolled Agents - naea.org - website. Click on "Find an enrolled agent". Type in your town, state or zip code. Enrolled agents do not work cheap, but your taxes will be done right and they will go with you if you are audited by the IRS. They are usually not attorneys but have the power of attorney with the IRS.
Enrolled agents are professional tax practitioners who have technical expertise in the field of taxation, and are licensed to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service at all administrative levels. Moreover, enrolled agents are the only tax practitioners required by Federal law to maintain their expertise through continuing professional education. Tax attorneys and CPA's used to, but lobbied and no longer are required. It was too hard for them to pass the EA examination and to maintain their certification through continuing professional education. A CPA is worthless to the taxpayer unless that taxpayer is an Enrolled Agent. Note all the scandals. Accountants can't account. Lawyers lose on your behalf and lose radically. Bankers are insolvent. Journalists can't report: they never tell the truth. Economists can't predict recessions and depressions. There have been ZERO scandals in the vast majority of enrolled agent chapters since the founding of the NAEA in 1982. |

Whether or not you need a CPA depends on how complex your taxes are. If you own your own business, I'd go to a CPA. If your taxes are simple, any competent preparer should have no problem with it. |

How complex is your return? Don't need a CPA for an average return, just a well-trained preparer and good software.
An enrolled agent is admitted to practice before the IRS, and may or may not be a CPA. What's more important than any degrees or initials, is the training and experience of the preparer you use. Ask them questions regarding their background, not just about the price. Many attorneys and accountants prepare taxes and do them well, but others don't know how to even begin. Some keep themselves up to date with courses every year, others don't. Check out the preparer you use. |

If your taxes are easy and you feel comfortable doing it yourself, you might not need assistance. You can try software or online tax prep sites - it would be less expensive - ranging from free to fees that are charged per form.

If you have a complicated return or you are not sure of what you are doing - highly recommend doing your return with a CPA, or an Enrolled agent. |

An enrolled agent or a CPA or a lawyer can represent you in an audit. An "unenrolled preparer" cannot. |

No, anyone can prepare taxes for another person, but the legitimacy of the CPA preparer can certainly give the IRS pause when considering whether or not to begin an audit process. CPAs know what the IRS will be looking for, and can help you avoid landmines. Caveat emptor. |
