Attorney

What is a attorney?

Attorneys are licensed by state bars and may represent taxpayers before the IRS on any matter. Those listed here also hold a PTIN and prepare returns for a fee.

When should you use one?

For complex tax matters, disputes, or when legal and tax questions overlap.

How to verify a preparer

  • Confirm the credential in the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers
  • Ask for their PTIN and make sure they sign the return they prepare
  • For CPAs, attorneys, and state-regulated preparers, check the issuing state board or program
