Q&A: What is the difference between a TAX ACCOUNTANT & a TAX ATTORNEY?
Question by danandstephshort: What is the distinction between a TAX ACCOUNTANT & a TAX ATTORNEY?
Specifically, what are the special job functions which separate 1 category of professional from the other? Does the attorney file tax returns? Does the accountant keep up with the tax laws? Any feedback would be beneficial. Thanks.

I’m pretty sure a tax accountant would be the one to function with the numbers and file your taxes for you and stuff like that. A tax attorney would be the one to represent you in court if ever you had an problem with the IRS. Of course a tax accountant will require to maintain up with the tax laws given that they are filing your paperwork for you… they have to know when the law changes so they know how to total and file the forms. A Tax attorney is not likely to be completing your tax forms unless it’s sort of a hybrid tax accountant/attorney… ordinarily a tax attorney will help you deal with the court program relating to your tax matter where as a tax accountant will aid you deal with your income and help you to file with the IRS.
