Professional Tax Preparers

Professional tax preparers prepare tax returns for a fee. Good professional tax preparers combine good people skills with a love of accounting and trained knowledge in tax laws.

Tax preparers are trained to gather information by asking appropriate interview questions and filling in the information you provide in the appropriate box on your tax form. Those who are self-employed are called "tax preparers", while those employed by tax services are called "tax interviewers". There are also certified public accountants (CPAs) and tax attorneys who prepare tax returns and represent taxpayers if they are audited by the IRS.

Most often, tax preparers can complete your tax return in a single interview. However, if you have a thriving small business or a complex tax situation your return may take more time. A tax preparation specialist will often give you a very good idea how much you will receive on your tax return. Large professional firms will have several tax preparers comb your return to make sure it is accurate.
