Questions worth asking before you hire

1. Is the licence current with the District of Columbia board of accountancy, and under what name?
2. What share of your practice is individual tax rather than audit or advisory?
3. What does a return like mine cost, and what would make that go up?
4. Who actually prepares the return, and who reviews it before it is signed?
5. Are you open outside filing season if a notice arrives in July?
6. Do you handle the bookkeeping as well, or work from books I provide?

Our guide to choosing a tax preparer explains why the answers matter, and the credentials guide covers who can represent you if the IRS writes.

Every paid preparer must have a PTIN and must sign the return. Credentials are public records and take two minutes to check.
