I am looking for a tax preparer.

Are there any ifishers that are in the business? Are there any recommendations in the Beaverton, Aloha or Hillsboro area for a good tax man or woman?

I have in the past done it myself however since I was retired I need help as I don’t know what is taxable and what is not. :whazzup: :whazzup:

Do I just pick one out of the phone book and hope I get a good one? I hope not.

Just some advice please and PMs are welcome.

I can't actually give you any names due to a potential conflict of interest, I myself do not prepare tax returns for others any longer. Please do not just pick one out of the phone book. When you do get some recommendations (and you will) - go and visit them - is their office well kept - can they carry on a conversation - is this a person you wouldn't mind going to lunch with? Ask them if they are insured, will they cover penalties and interest if they make a mistake and they are assessed against you? Do they have openings in their schedule so that your return gets the attention it deserves. Sorry for being so vague, but the Accountants I've gotten along the best with over the years were pretty good people - the one's I had problems with were pretty easy to pick out just due to their behavior.
