What the directory provides, what to verify yourself, and how to report information that needs correction.
AtoZ Tax is a directory of U.S. tax preparation and related accounting businesses. It presents public business information to help you identify firms and prepare questions before contacting them. The site does not prepare returns or provide tax advice.
No. Inclusion, listing position, ratings, and service labels do not certify or endorse a firm. Credential descriptions may reflect public claims and are not proof of current individual qualifications. AtoZ Tax does not claim an IRS or state-board check for every listing.
Ask for the individual preparer’s full name, PTIN, and claimed credentials. Follow the IRS guidance on choosing a tax professional; check CPA licenses with the relevant state board and EA status with the IRS. The IRS public directory covers credentialed preparers and certain program participants, not every PTIN holder.
No. Fees depend on the work involved, required forms, record quality, and services included. Request a written estimate and confirm availability with the firm. Ask what is included and whether amendments, notice responses, or representation incur separate charges.
Listings use publicly available business information, including Google Maps business records. Addresses, contact details, hours, ratings, and service descriptions may be incomplete or outdated. Confirm the details that matter to you directly with the firm.
The directory does not promise a fixed refresh schedule. An update to one field does not establish that every detail or credential has been checked. Confirm current information before visiting or signing an engagement.
Use the contact page’s email options. Include the listing URL, the information in question, and a supporting public source. For removal requests, explain your relationship to the business. Email links open your mail application; delivery has not been verified and no response time is guaranteed.
Contact the firm directly about appointments, fees, and services. AtoZ Tax does not manage engagements, resolve disputes, or represent taxpayers. Use IRS or relevant state-board resources for concerns about preparer conduct.
