Do we need an accountant?
Most people with normal finances don’t need an actual trained account with a CPA license, not, at least, if you don’t own a business, handle a lot of rental property or have an estate to settle. If you’re just a regular working person out there in the world, though, you probably are in the market for a tax preparer, and that person may or may not be an accountant as well. You have a couple options here.
If you go high-tech, you can buy a box of tax prep software or download it and follow the directions. Or, you could stop into one of those tax prep specialty shops, like H&R Block. To find a local, private tax preparer, the best way to go is by word-of-mouth by trusted contacts. You could also go to an online search engine like AccountantsWorld.com.
