A CPA is an e-mail away. Online tax consultation is now readily available thanks to the participation of numerous CPAs. When tax time comes around, many people have numerous questions and they don’t always know a CPA they can ask, or sometimes they cant take the time off work to go visit one.
Now, CPAs are willing to dispense their advice day and night to those willing to ask. Now there is no excuse or reason not to ask those questions.
Though there is a slight cost to the online consultation, it is unreasonably low. Some sites even offer you a free trial or even 2 free questions a month. It doesn’t get much more affordable than that.
You get to establish a CPA-client relationship in a comfortable environment, online in your own home. If you like the CPA you are working with, you can work further with them, if not, you are then able to seek out others who may better fit your personality and needs.
What happens is when you are ready to ask a question, you log into the system as a member and ask the question. You typically have CPAs to choose from and the chosen CPA will respond to you within about 3 days.
You will receive an email notification when your question is answered, but it is good to check back regularly until your question is answered. This is a very beneficial service and anyone with a tax question should take the time to set up an online tax consultation.
