Recommendation for a good tax man

User Forum Topic

This forum seems to have many business savvy people around. Can any one recommend a good tax man? The tax man I hired last year retired recently. I am trying to finish the tax in the last minute :(. Thanks in advance.

My situation is like this: while keeping a full time job of an engineer, I tried to run a side business. But it did not make money and I decided to shut it down last year. I haven't handled this before. I guess this will add a lot of complexity of the tax. I am in desperate to find a tax man who knows how to handle the closure of business.

TurboTax or TaxCut

 It doesn't sound that difficult

I am not sure if TurboTax can handle business closure. I am so afraid of making mistakes.

There is a longtime Pigg poster I highly recommend. I'm not sure if I should publish his email so go ahead and email me at rich at piggington.com and I will send his info.

I've been using Abbas, Jensen and Cundari in Hillcrest for the last few years for my business/personal taxes. Real friendly group.

If you just need personal taxes done, I used a fellow out in La Mesa by the name of Jim Glanz for about 5 years and I highly recommend him.

Good guy, used him for years...specializes in individuals and sole proprietors.

Anyone looking for a tax guy he is highly recommended. Tell him you're a pigger.

Thanks all! I tried to reach all of them. But tophattax.biz is not an existing domain any more, so I guess I could not reach Darryl.
I searched "Abbas, Jensen and Cundari", and found "Abbas, Jenson and Cundari" in San Diego. I guess that's the accountant meadandale referenced. I will talk to them.
