CPA or tax attorneyDec 10, 2024

Our co-op received a large refund using a tax attorney. My concern is why are we using one and he gets 30% ? Shouldn’t our CPA do our taxes correctly? They’re now talking about using the tax attorney again. I’m confused a tax attorney is for legal matters and a CPA is for business . Maybe we need to get a better CPA because tax attorney and others are getting rich from our refunds. Any thoughts? Has anyone experienced this in their co-op?

I could be wrong but my guess is that your co-op used a certiorari (tax attorney) who got your co-op a real estate tax reduction rather than an income tax refund.
