By all means take at look at our national association's web
page:

www.naea.org

Your choice of either CPA, EA or chain store preparer will
depend on the complexity of your return. Also of great
value are friends' recommendations. If possible interview
at least three, but don't expect to call them on the phone
and get a response to "How much do you charge?"

Yes. Some mix of all of the above. The more complex your
situation, the more education and experience you need them
to have.

You need someone who you feel comfortable with, someone who
can communicate with you in language you understand, and
someone who will be your advocate (within the law).

It would be good to have somone who is located physically
close to you so that you can have 'sit-downs' every now and
then, but in today's world of e-mail and telephone access,
it's not as crucial any more.

look for someone who doesn't have time to take on a new client in the
last three weeks of the filing season.

Default Income Tax Preparation Service.

I am looking for someone new to prepare my income tax. What
should I be looking for when selecting the person?

Education?
Certifications?
CPA?
Etc.?

Thanks
CP
