Default Re: Just got off the phone with my new CPA...

CPA is really just a distintintion to enable you to audit companies and put your stamp of approval on them. While most do taxes as well since there is a bunch of money to be made doing so.

That being said there are some tax prep certification out there and those probably provide a better clue as to who is good or not in this area.

While CPA is the thought to be the "gold standard" when it comes to taxes it is not. The CPA title has 0 to do with tax prep and 100% with auditing financial statements.
