CPA or EA
Hi WKS, I am not interested in getting the CPA designation because 1) I don't have the 150 hour accounting course requirement 2) I don't want to apprentice for 2 years for someone I already know more than 3) The vast majority of the public doesn't care. Those that do go elsewhere (builders who need audited financial statements). 4) Your clients care more about your fairness to them and ability to handle their problems. 5) I don't want to do "accounting".
You can already represent taxpayers as an EA, your license is nationwide. Why would you need a more limited state license unless you want to do audited financial statements? (most CPAs don't even do the one thing they can do that I can't).
It has never been a problem for me. ALTHOUGH I will admit that the CPAs have the better marketing than EAs as far as name recognition.
When it comes down to working with the IRS, they respect the EA very well.
I know people who have both designations. They say the only thing the CPA behind their name gets them is profession name recognition.
also from queens
Just thought I'd say hi.
I didn't go to Molloy, but if the school is the one i think it is, I passed it every morning. Is it the school at Main St and Queens Blvd? My first apartment when I moved out of my mother's house was down the block from it and I walked down the subway stairs to tevery morning as the students were coming up the stairs.
I went to Newtown HS, class of '73, then Queens College, class of 77.
I grew up in Queens and lived there til I moved to CA in 1987.

Nurses taxes
what a creative way to get them to open the letter!!! I love it!
Yes, I think it should be effective. Here is another idea to go along with it: once you get ONE nurse, find out when her lunch break is (might be on evening shift) - offer to go in and do a 15 minute talk about special deductions and taxes for nurses for all of his/her co-workers at no charge. I have heard of people doing this for graveyard/night shift and the NURSES LOVE IT because no one else comes to see them, and they love the attention!!
Possibly there is more than one local hospital, with separate nurses groups for each floor, for each shift, so you could work this into 10-20 presentations and get lots of nurses!
good luck Kevinh5
