Do I Need a Tax Attorney, CPA, or Enrolled Agent?
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.

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.

Thank you. This was very resourceful for people.
Hello sir, I am from India & my CPA exam just got over, during the curriculum I enjoyed Regulation(Taxation) the most ,so I researched a lot to make my full time carrier on that. I would love to hear from you - appearing a good Law school in US through GRE/LSAT will be a good step to take or not. Please solicite a line in reply.
Great. Video! Just subscribed

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.

@@strohmeyerlawpllc Okay, thank you for your response. I wish I had entered law school earlier, as now the ROI will be less and the opportunity costs greater.
