Questions worth asking before you hire

1. Which platform do you work in, and do I own the file?
2. Are payroll tax deposits and quarterly filings included?

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.

Verify before you hand over documents

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

• Search the IRS directory of credentialed preparers by ZIP code.
• Check a CPA licence through your state board or CPAverify.
