Online CPA in Pennsylvania

Traditionally, a visit with a CPA required gathering your documents, receipts, statements, spreadsheets and lists, and schlepping them all to an in-person meeting at your CPA's office. Hours later, after you've gone through all of your information with her, she would prepare your tax documents for filing, charge you a hefty fee, then file your taxes. If you were lucky, her services would help you get a tax refund from the IRS that would be greater than the amount you paid for her services. But it doesn't have to be that way. As with so many services in this age of digital tools and online resources, it should come as no surprise that consulting with an expert tax CPA, or Certified Public Accountant, in states like Pennsylvania is now possible without ever leaving your home. FlyFin's Ask a CPA tool gives you unlimited access, at no cost, to a team of licensed tax professionals with a combined 100+ years of experience. Just enter your name and email address, and ask a CPA any question, from how to fill out a tax form, to how to find the hundreds of deductions available to you. FlyFin CPAs have deep knowledge of the tax system in Pennsylvania, including expertise in taxes for self-employed taxpayers such as nurses, delivery drivers and many more, as well as taxes for business structures such as LLCs, S-Corps, sole proprietorships and partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does online tax filing in Pennsylvania work?

How is a CPA defined in Pennsylvania?

Certified public accountants, or CPAs, in Pennsylvania are tax professionals with the right education and experience to help Pennsylvania taxpayers prepare and file their taxes. They have a license issued by the Pennsylvania state board of accountancy. Accountants in Pennsylvania have to pass a rigorous exam called the Uniform CPA Exam. In addition to helping individuals prepare taxes, Pennsylvania CPAs work in positions as public or corporate accountants, and many executives with titles like Controller or Chief Financial Officer are also CPAs. Pennsylvania CPAs are the tax professionals who are most familiar with the Pennsylvania self-employment tax rate, income tax rate, property tax rate and every major and minor tax regulation in Pennsylvania that could affect their clients tax situation. A good Pennsylvania CPA is a walking encyclopedia of tax information at both the Pennsylvania level and federal level.

What exactly CPAs in Pennsylvania do?

The role of a Pennsylvania CPA is to act as a trusted financial advisor to every taxpayer who is their client. A CPA in Pennsylvania should be able to answer any possible tax question their client may have, no matter what their tax situation may be. CPAs in Pennsylvania should have the experience and expertise to prepare all the documents taxpayers are required to file in Pennsylvania with 100% accuracy.
