The seasoned tax professionals and CPAs are the backbones behind our easy-to-use online tax filing services at PriorTax.com. But who are these people, and how can you benefit from CPA services?

What online CPA tax services does PriorTax.com offer?

When you prepare your prior year tax return with PriorTax.com, you will use our step-by-step, easy-to-use website to provide your basic information and income statements. Our web service then guides you through the process of collecting information to determine your deductions and credits. Finally, we use this information to provide you with a printable version of your tax return to download, print, sign, and then mail to the IRS. And based on the information you provide, PriorTax.com works to ensure that if you’re due a refund, you’ll get the largest refund you can get.

Sometimes financial situations and tax returns are more complicated. And PriorTax.com is available to help in those cases too.

Beyond this, we also offer more in-depth reviews. We offer for purchase both a Professional Tax Return Review service and an Online CPA Review service.

Professional Tax Return Services

With a Professional Tax Return Review, one of the agents on our senior staff will be assigned to perform a review of your prior year tax return after you submit your information on PriorTax.com’s web tax program. These agents are tax professionals trained in tax accounting and have been advised by our Online CPAs and Enrolled Agents for a minimum of two years.

Your assigned tax agent will be reviewing your tax return for two main things. First, they are looking for any errors or oversight issues that could increase your risk of an income tax audit by either the IRS or a state agency. Second, they will also look for any deductions or credits that may have been missed in preparing your tax return.

You will receive an appointment by phone to walk through your return after their review. Your assigned tax agent will be able to provide advice on accuracy and any ways that you can maximize your tax refund.

Your return will then be filed on your behalf by your agent. You will have direct access if you need to follow up on anything regarding your prior year tax return.

Online CPA Services

With an Online CPA Review, one of our Online CPAs will provide a personalized consultation addressing your specific tax situation. Including paying close attention to the credits and deductions you may qualify for to help you to boost your tax refund or to reduce how much tax you owe.

When you choose our Professional Tax Return Review service or CPA Review service for online CPA services, all returns are both thoroughly reviewed and audit protected. We take pride in our work and want to ensure you get peace of mind. In the unlikely event of an IRS audit, we will represent you and your case before the Examination Division of the IRS.

As an established tax preparation service and open all year round, we will always be around should you ever need a follow-up.

What does a CPA do?

CPA-specific services, however, fall into two main categories related to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

All accountants, whether CPAs or not, essentially work keeping and interpreting financial records for people, companies, and institutions. This includes accounting, auditing, tax, and consulting services related to financial records.

CPAs can prepare audited or reviewed financial statements file a report of these with the SEC, a requirement for all public companies.

And more relevant for individual tax filers, CPAs are able to represent their clients in front of the IRS. Again, this is something that accountants without CPA licenses are not able to do. 

How much do PriorTax.com’s Professional Tax Review services cost?

Adding a Professional Review to your tax return package costs $59.95. This can provide the peace of mind of a tax professional on your side through this process. Without the costs more commonly seen when visiting a tax preparation company.

6 Reasons to Choose the PriorTax CPA Review

With only two certainties in life, nixing your accountant is a tough choice to make.

Choosing PriorTax means you don’t have to.

When telling some people to ditch the accountant and file their taxes online instead, they look at you like you just told them to stop drinking coffee in the morning. It’s scary, sounds risky and is, more than likely, completely out of the question for some.

That’s why PriorTax has introduced CPA Review to the menu, for all of our customers who don’t necessarily want to stray from the traditional route of using an accountant to file their taxes. It also provides a new opportunity for taxpayers who have never even looked into using an accountant before.

Let’s take a look at some reasons why you’ll want to consider our CPA Review over a private accountant.

Because you’re not made of money.

Did you know that the average price of an individual tax return prepared by a private accountant in 2014 was $273? Some charged up to $400 per hour! That’s a nice chunk of change to add to the amount you already owe the IRS (or to take out of your refund check). With the PriorTax CPA Review, you’ll pay $99.95. That’s less than 50% of the average cost for the same service. Crazy, right? (more…)
