How do I know if I need a CPA or a tax preparer?
Deciding between a CPA and a tax preparer depends on your specific needs and the complexity of your financial situation.
A CPA is a full-service financial professional and is generally the right choice for someone who wants accounting, audit, tax or business advisory services year-round or who would benefit from tax planning in advance of filing.
A tax preparer is someone who prepares and files taxes and is generally the right choice for someone who specifically needs help when it comes time to file.
Ultimately, only you can decide which tax preparation method will work best for your situation.
