The need to find a good tax professional can arise at any point of time when you are having a tax-related problem. In fact, the need for tax professionals grows manifold especially during the audits. When there are so many tax professionals around, it is but obvious that not all of them provide quality services. In order to find a tax professional with a good reputation, you should do a thorough research on the professionals in your area, check their credentials, and even get referrals from your friends and colleagues.

If you are on the look out for a tax expert, you can consider looking for one using the resources available online. There are dozens of online forums and rating systems where people post reviews on various tax professionals including the best and worst for providing tax services. You can read honest and clear comments posted by people who have dealt with the tax professionals in your area or state. You can also read reviews posted by persons who are still working in the field or are aspiring to be tax attorneys, auditors, or IRS agents.

If you are looking for a good tax professional, you should also consider getting a reference from a person who knows or has dealt with the tax professionals in your area or state. This could be a former client or a colleague. Getting references from a person who knows the best will give you a better picture of how the tax professionals in your area or state can serve you. Also, if you do not get a reference from a person you know and trust, you can consider contacting the National Association of Certified Public Accountants for a list of accredited tax law firms and agents.
