Firms that have claimed their profile come first, then listings by rating. Claiming is free, and we never accept payment for position. Listings come from public records: the IRS directory of federal tax return preparers, Google Maps and firms' own websites. We have not checked state licences. Ratings are Google's unless a listing says otherwise.

New Jersey practitioners reported average fees of $235–$305 for a 1040 with a state return (standard deduction vs. itemized) in the National Society of Accountants 2020-2021 Income and Fees survey, published 2020 and not adjusted for inflation. Self-employment and business returns cost more. These are state averages, not the prices of any firm listed in Piscataway.
A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) is licensed by the New Jersey Board of Public Accountancy and can perform audits, prepare tax returns, and offer broader financial advisory work. An Enrolled Agent (EA) is licensed by the IRS and specializes in tax — both can represent you before the IRS, but only CPAs can issue audit opinions.
Most tax preparation can be done fully remotely with secure document upload — you don't need a local CPA. However, a Piscataway-based CPA may have stronger familiarity with New Jersey state-specific deductions, local business rules, and regional industry tax nuances.
Hire a CPA if you have self-employment income, rental properties, multi-state filings, equity compensation (RSUs/ISOs), inheritance, complex investments, or you're starting/selling a business. For a simple W-2 return with no dependents, software is usually enough.
