Millions of homeowners hit with unexpected taxes

Congress enacted the AMT in 1969 to target 155 high-income households with so many tax benefits they owed little or no income tax. But lawmakers have never indexed it for inflation, so Barefield and his wife were among 4 million taxpayers - some earning as little as $75,000 a year - hit by the AMT in 2006 and 32 million expected to have to pay it by 2010. Fortunately, Congress voted three months ago to increase exemptions allowed under the AMT, sparing 23 million Americans $50 billion in additional taxes on their 2007 returns.

Tips for hiring the best accountant

Tax time is stressful for everyone, even accountants and IRS employees. Credits and deductions can be complicated, so it’s a good idea to consult a tax advisor.

Check credentials: Ask the preparer about his/her training. Will they represent you in case of an audit? Only enrolled agents, CPA’s and tax attorneys can represent taxpayers before the IRS in all matters including audits, collection auctions and appeals. Will you be able to contact them after the return is filed?

Accounting Reviews on Angie's List

“I can't praise him enough. When I wasn't able to drive and trying to figure out things about pensions and everything, he actually came to my house. He stayed for a few hours. Made appropriate changes with my plans. He will actually call me with certain updates and changes. One day a couple weeks ago when stock market fell I called. He called me back in 20 minutes. He keeps me focused and on track.”

"Overall, it went extremely well. I feel more confident in handling my quarterly taxes and ensuring I am in compliance with small business taxes. I left with a sense that the money was well spent in meeting with this company again."
