Can’t seem to find a CPA to do my taxes this year, a one-time thing due to inheritance complications (but not large enough to creat a new file basically). How does H&R charge, based on what?
ANYONE who works or had experience working in a big or regional audit/tax firm, is an MB&T helpful or just a CPA is enough….btw my firm is paying for the Masters in Business & Tax but its just hard to go back to school once I start working fulltime
If a non-profit org should have been filing federal returns and should have filed for a tax exemption, but has a letter from a CPA saying it doesn’t need to, will the CPA have to pay the fines that the IRS dishes out for failure to file?
The best description of whether a CPA has met the required standard of care in conducting an audit of a client’s financial statements is
a.The client’s expectations with regard to the accuracy of audited financial statements.
b.The accuracy of the financial statements and whether the statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
c.Whether the CPA conducted the audit with the same skill and care expected of an ordinarily prudent CPA under the circumstances.
d.Whether the audit was conducted to investigate and discover all acts of fraud.
I am about to graduate from college and awaiting an offer from a Big Four CPA firm to work in the Tax Department. I met with a big four tax partner recently and he told me that they only expected me to become a CPA. I asked him about the importance of getting a JD and told me it was not necessary. He said it would not by any means hurt my chances of being succesful or going up the ladder. He said studying it would be a personal preference to gain better understanding or to develop skills on tax laws.
What do you guys think?
I was divorced earlier this year. My husband and I filed our 2005 tax return jointly so I filed an injury to spouse allocation form to recieve my portion of the tax return. …so I thought (as did my CPA). When my refund never came, I called the IRS and they said that an injury to spouse form only prevents you from being responsible for any of your spouse’s debt. They informed me that they could not split up the tax return and that they had sent the entire refund check to my ex’s address. My ex, of course, said that I wouldn’t see a penny of the money. My question is…do both parties have to sign the tax return check for it to be deposited? And if so…is it possible that he forged my name and what should I do if that is the case?
I am 23 years old, single, and I graduated from college in May 2009. I had 3 part time jobs in 2009 and started a full time job in November, where I still work now. I have withheld taxes for every job I have had on a calculated basis.
How do I know if I will owe or get a refund? I don’t want to hire a CPA to find out I owe the IRS and won’t get a refund.

I am majoring in accounting and plan on getting a CPA. I am also contemplating law school. If i used both degrees i imagine i would use it to become a tax lawyer. I am curious to know what is the need for tax lawyers and is there many out there. Also what should i expect to make?
