Tax Attorney vs CPA: Who Should You Hire for IRS Problems?

Video Transcript

Tax attorney or CPA? Which professionals should you hire for IRS problems? Let's break down the key differences so you can make the right choice. What do CPAs do? CPA specialize in preparing tax returns, bookkeeping, and financial planning. They're great for avoiding tax issues in the first place. Tax attorneys handle legal disputes, negotiate settlements, and represent you in court. They're your go-to for audits, levies, and back tax representation. For filing taxes or general advice, choose a CPA. For IRS debt or legal disputes, hire a tax attorney. If you're still unsure, give us a call 866-938-6918 for a free consultation to discuss your specific needs.
