I am not surprised; I have used them twice and both times was underwhelmed with their ability to advise me on lowering my tax liability.<BR/>You have also correctly pointed out that having initials after the name is no guarantee that a CPA knows what he or she is doing with my money.<BR/><BR/>What your post (good though it was) did not deliver was any advice on how to actually find someone who could be relied upon to help me pay the lowest amount of tax each year without risking imprisonment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318055043707993918.post-4999261216339643722009-01-12T08:47:00.000-05:002009-01-12T08:47:00.000-05:00Just the other day, at the post office while maili...Just the other day, at the post office while mailing out my letters, the postal worker (a real riot to say the least) stated that I didn’t do his taxes. Immediate response, I gave him a card. He handed it back saying “oh, you don’t want my return it is all screwed up and I owe the IRS lots”. My response was simple enough, “All my new clients are screwed up, that is how I get them hooked, I fix there problems.”<BR/><BR/>His response was that he had a CPA that was trying to fix the problem but not having very good luck at it. My response “That is nice, you have an account – someone skilled in the proper placement of debits and credits – working with a tax problem. Do you know what actual tax back ground your CPA has? Or is he just a glorified bookkeeper?” <BR/><BR/>He kind of laughed and ignored the comment. Several postal customers heard the conversation in it’s entirety and asked for my card. By the time I was done with my business there the postal worker asked for my card, stating that maybe he’d give me a shot at his return.<BR/><BR/>From reading your blog, you would have enjoyed the situation I think. My wife was there and I don’t think I am proclaiming all of the stories nuances. However as I was leaving the post office I immediately thought of your writings on the CPA doing taxes subject. I just had to chuckle.<BR/><BR/>Has for the fast food chains doing taxes. May you are correct (you usually are), there might be a few competent preparers there, but in my time preparing, I have not seen one yet that didn’t have an error. <BR/><BR/>Great post Robert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
