Common questions

How do I find a good CPA near me?

Use TaxScout's directory to search by state and specialization. Each listing shows whether the practitioner appears in the IRS federal preparer directory and when we last checked, plus any client reviews. Listings are built from public records; the IRS does not verify or endorse them.

What does a CPA charge for tax preparation?

CPA fees vary by return complexity. A basic individual 1040 typically costs $200–$400, while self-employment or business returns can range from $500–$1,500+. Most directory listings do not publish a rate; where a firm has supplied one, it is shown on their profile.

What's the difference between a CPA and a tax preparer?

A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) has passed the Uniform CPA Exam and met state licensing requirements. Tax preparers may have an IRS PTIN but lack the education and testing requirements. CPAs can represent you before the IRS and provide audit defense.

Are the CPAs on TaxScout verified?

Yes. Every CPA in our directory is verified against IRS records and state licensing boards. Claimed profiles are further vetted with credential checks, and client reviews are authenticated to prevent fraud.
