Isabel A. D. Bengtson, E. A.

I am a tax accountant who is an Enrolled Agent. I also have a master's degree in Taxation. In the area of the country that I live in, the tax preparers/accountants were approached to add financial services to our practices. So, I hold a series 6 and 62 license. This allows me to service my clients in the area of mutual funds. I have been in practice 21 years. I do mostly personal, Sch C, partnership, trusts, estates. I am a member of NAEA and NATP. I also am a notary public. We do wear a lot of hats sometimes. I find that I collect resources for my clients, so that when they have a problem, I have someone that I can recommend that they use. My practice is year round, but I am busiest during tax season. I am a one person office since I decided when I started that I wanted to do taxes, not to manage other people. I heard about the TaxAlmanac through an email from Proseries (TurboTax Professional). Taxqueen Ben7440105 08:48, 7 Aug 2005 (CDT)

Taxladyml, EA, NTPI Fellow

Hi everyone! Since 1992 I have owned my own tax business in a town with a population of about 17,000. I earned my Enrolled Agent designation in 1999. I am a Fellow of NTPI (National Tax Practice Institute) having completed their three-year program in Representation and Practice before the IRS. I am a member of NAEA, NSTP & NATP. I started my tax career by working and teaching for 2 years for H&R Block. I offer ‘after the fact’ payroll quarterly forms preparation in addition to Washington State payroll & tax forms (we do not have a state income tax).

During the tax season I employ 3 preparers and a receptionist to assist me in preparing approximately 1200 returns, 95% of which we e-file. My office specializes in individuals and Sch C businesses, 25 – 30 of which are daycare operators.. We prepare approximately 25 partnerships and S-Corps. I have been an instructor for the AARP Tax Aide program and I currently teach Recordkeeping for Daycare Operators for Catholic Family Services.

I hope this resource grows as I would like to learn from others experiences. I found out about TaxAlmanac from a Lacerte Software Newsletter.
