With tax season looming, there are a number of people who are looking for a tax consultant to help them file their taxes. Unfortunately, even though there are a number of wonderful consultants available for hire, there are some who are less scrupulous. Choosing the right consultant can make a huge difference in the refund you get back as well as whether or not your taxes are done legally and according to regulations.
Verify Credentials
Your first step in choosing a tax consultant in Atlanta GA should be to verify their credentials and make sure that they are who they say they are, and that they have the experience and education necessary to do a great job on your taxes. Find out what kind of continuing education they take and make sure that they are currently licensed before you give them your tax information.
Interview Them
Once you have narrowed down your list of possible consultants to hire, it’s time to set up an interview with each of them. A great tax consultant won’t balk at this, as it should only be a short meeting and will hopefully end with them getting your business. Make sure you ask about how long they have been in business, how they can help you in the future, and whether or not they outsource their work. If the consultant you are meeting with doesn’t seem interested in talking to you or is evasive about their practice, then that is a red flag and you will want to look elsewhere for tax preparation help.
