  • Getting your taxes done correctly (and to your benefit) takes the right team. You have a lot of choices when it comes to tax preparation, planning, and even defense. So who does what? Who should you go to first? What's the difference between a tax attorney, a CPA, and an Enrolled Agent when it comes to tax matters?
    It can be confusing, so I wanted to clear up exactly what these different roles can do for you, and who is best to focus on which particular issues. Hint: your first stop probably isn't a tax attorney!
    I'll explain:
    What does each role cover?
    Who handles financial analysis & tax consequences?
    Who can help with tax planning?
    Who do you go to first with tax and deduction questions?
    Who actually prepares your returns?
    Who helps with audits/IRS issues?
    When is an attorney your number one option?
    ​Tax or District Courts
    Confidentiality concerns
    Having documents, arguments, or disclosure statements drawn

    As an Enrolled Agent, I'd just like to say this is a great video John. Thanks for breaking this down in a way that taxpayers can understand. It's always nice to see a great informative video when there's so much misinformation circulating the internet.

      Hi which is best enrolled agent or CPA ??

      Sathish it truly depends on what service you need. Our areas of expertise can overlap but Enrolled Agents and CPAs work in two different areas of accounting. EAs specialize in tax. A CPA may not work in taxes at all.

    1.Hey John, I'll be completing my MBA-fin. by 2023. And I am very interested in EA(US Taxation)
    So will they both be a good combination ? (career wise - future opportunities, growth, paygrades)
    2.And I don't have the knowledge of audit, will that effect my growth in future ? (after 15-20 years in the industry)
    please reply

      Getting the most skills and practical experience will be the best option for you. Having a particular degree or certification, by itself, is not going to guarantee success.

      This is a question for the specific LL.M. program you apply for, but generally, they don't need a finance background to apply. I didn't have one. Good luck!

      @@strohmeyerlawpllc I've heard "internet people" say tax attorneys make $200k/year and up? Is this not the case? I'm currently a tax accountant and interested in law school, but concerned about the cost and job prospects. I'm a CPA candidate, but been too busy working at a Big4 accounting firm to take the exams.
