Can you recommend a Tax consultant?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a tax consultant? Ideally someone who is familiar with submitting tax returns for people like us who run a day home.

As this is my first year in doing my taxes and having the day home I thought it would be best to use a tax consultant.

Any advice or recommendations appreciated

Thanks

Very good question and now is the time to get this going.

I usually create a spreadsheet that has the following information on it:
- income per month
- groceries per month
- activities per month
- cable, internet, phone, utilities per month
- gas and kilometers driven per month
- mortgage or rent payments
- insurance
- advertising costs
- anything else you had to pay for to run your business
make sure you have receipts to back up your claims.

I took this to H&R Block, they seemed to do a fine job. It's a pretty simple business so you shouldn't have to be paying more that a few hundred dollars for someone to do your taxes (you shouldn't need an accountant to do this and pay $1000s!).

Hope this helps.

I had a great lady who did it part time, but now she is not doing it anymore.... She recommended somebody and I am going to try her this year. Not sure if you would like her email.
