Best Experienced Tax Experts Pasadena

Taxes are a complicated subject.

The Internal Revenue Code, which governs Federal tax law, is thousands of pages.  Federal tax law is also based on thousands of regulations, rulings, and court cases.

State tax law is governed by its own numerous statutes, regulations, rulings, and court cases.

The complexity of taxes is also attributable to the frequent changes made in both Federal and state tax law.

Given these points, taxes are too difficult for the average person to understand.  As a result, when you have a tax issue, you need the assistance of someone who is familiar with taxes – an experienced tax expert.

If you are in Pasadena and need to resolve a tax matter, you need to hire the best experienced tax expert in Pasadena.

What Makes the Best Experienced Tax Expert – Knowledge of the Tax Laws

In looking for the best experienced tax expert, perhaps the initial qualification for such experienced tax expert is strong knowledge of the tax laws.

People specialize in different areas of the law.  A person who specializes in personal injury law, constitutional law, or banking law may have no knowledge of tax law.  You want to retain an experienced tax expert who specializes in tax law.

It is irrelevant that someone was “Ivy League-educated” if the person lacks a strong knowledge of the tax laws.  You do not want the best person; you want the best experienced tax expert.

You want to select an experienced tax expert who has comprehensive knowledge of the tax laws.

First, the best experienced tax expert should have comprehensive knowledge of both Federal and applicable state tax laws.

Second, the best experienced tax expert should have comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of the tax process.  This includes knowledge of four separate parts:

• Tax planning. The best experienced tax expert should be able to advise you on what you need to do in the current year to reduce the taxes that you will need to pay in the following year;
• Tax return preparation. The best experienced tax expert should be able to advise you on how you should prepare your tax return to minimize your tax liability in compliance with the law;
• Tax audit representation. If your tax return is audited by the government, the best experienced tax expert should be able to effectively represent you in the tax audit; and
• Tax controversy representation. If the government is garnishing your wages or seizing your assets to collect an outstanding tax liability, the best experienced tax expert should be able to effectively represent you in the tax controversy matter.

What Makes the Best Experienced Tax Expert – Analytical Skills

It takes more than just a knowledge of the tax laws to be the best experienced tax expert.  Simply being able to memorize Internal Revenue Code sections does not make one the best experienced tax expert.

Instead, you need excellent analytical skills to be the best experienced tax expert.

The best experienced tax expert needs to use analytical skills to be able to apply knowledge of the tax laws to the specific facts of the client’s case.  Part of these analytical skills are to determine which facts should be cited and which facts should be distinguished in making an argument based on the applicable law.

In some cases, the best experienced tax expert needs to use analytical skills to develop a creative solution to the client’s tax problem.

What Makes the Best Experienced Tax Expert – Communication Skills

Another element of the best experienced tax expert is excellent communication skills.

The best experienced tax expert needs to speak effectively.  Speaking effectively includes knowing both the appropriate time to speak calmly and the appropriate time to speak passionately.  It also includes knowing when to be silent and listen.

The best experienced tax expert also needs to write effectively.

These excellent communication skills must be utilized in two areas.

First, the best experienced tax expert must be able to communicate effectively with the Internal Revenue Service or the applicable state tax authority.  This can cover both presenting a compelling argument and negotiating a successful outcome.

Second, the best experienced tax expert must be able to communicate effectively with you, the client.  While taxes are a complex subject, the best experienced tax expert must be able to explain a “tax” concept in layman’s terms so that it can be understood by the client.

What Makes the Best Experienced Tax Expert – Disclosure

In communicating effectively with you, the client, the best experienced tax expert should be honest with you in making certain disclosures.  Four disclosures are especially significant:

• Honestly advising you on the strengths and weaknesses of your case;
• Honestly advising you on what arguments can be made in support of your position;
• Honestly advising you on how the representation will be conducted. One key issue is whether the representation will be conducted by one professional or by a team of professionals; and
• Honestly advising you on what the representation will cost. You should know upfront how much the representation will cost you.  You do not need the cheapest person, but you do need an experienced tax expert who will tell you in advance what reasonable fee you will be billed for the work that is performed.

The best experienced tax expert is committed to honesty and disclosures with clients.

What Makes the Best Experienced Tax Expert – Experience

The best experienced tax expert also will have significant experience in tax law matters.

Experience in part can come from having previously worked for the Internal Revenue Service or the applicable state tax authority.

In addition, experience can come from having worked on similar tax law matters in the past.  While it is important to remain aware of changes in the tax laws, there is no substitute for the experience of having worked on a similar matter in the past.  For the best experienced tax expert, this experience will have consistently achieved favorable results for clients.

Experience not only helps by providing background on how to best approach a tax problem, but also can build familiarity and a positive reputation with personnel at the Internal Revenue Service or the applicable state tax authority (very useful in negotiations).
