Who can help with tax questions?

If you have complex situations and tax returns, then there is no substitute for trained tax professionals. Good sources of tax advice include:
- Tax preparation software. Used correctly, such programs can produce excellent results for most borrowers.
- Enrolled Agents. Individuals recognized by the IRS as experts in tax matters.
- Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). Individuals trained in tax matters and who have passed the CPA exam.
- Tax attorneys. Lawyers who specialize in tax issues.
