How much do Chicago tax accountants charge?

Basic 1040 (W-2 only): $150–$350. With Schedule C or rental: $350–$700. S-corp or partnership: $600–$1,500. Business bookkeeping monthly: $200–$800/month. IRS audit representation: hourly $150–$400.

CPA vs. EA — what's the difference?

CPA (Certified Public Accountant) is a state license covering all accounting including tax. EA (Enrolled Agent) is a federal credential specifically for taxes. Both can represent you before the IRS. For complex tax situations, either works.

When should I switch accountants?

If your accountant missed foreign income reporting, doesn't offer year-round planning, or won't return calls in November-January — switch. Get a second opinion on any Schedule C business return if you feel you paid too much.

How do I handle an IRS notice?

Never call the IRS number listed on the notice without your accountant. Bring the notice unopened if you can, and let the accountant respond in writing. Response deadlines are firm (usually 30 days) — don't delay.
