    @Oleksandr Ivanovskiy - I’m going to politely but firmly disagree with @James Mc Ree.

    Many CPAs are general practitioners and will literally try to do any tax return that walks into their office. While a general CPA should be good enough to do a basic real estate return, I see many many returns that I review miss basic deductions.

    I would look at the Tax Pros on this site. They are typically niched in the real estate investing world. Also, your ideal CPA isn’t going to be just compliance. They are going to be forward facing planning and tax strategy. Nearly every traditional CPA works solely on compliance and just “does” tax returns.

    Best of luck!
