Finding a Tax Professional

I purchased my first investment property in April of 2019. Now that it is January 2020, I want to start getting everything prepared to file taxes.

My main source of income is as a W2 employee through salary, bonus and RSUs.

I have various other investments like 401k, HSA, and taxable brokerage accounts.

For all of my income earning life, I’ve just been filing taxes with Turbo Tax.

Now that I own a investment property, I feel like I’m breaking away from what Turbo Tax is best at.

I’m not in a place where I feel like I need to worry about tax avoidance (I probably can’t beat the standard deduction yet), but I would like to find a tax professional / CPA and establish a relationship as I start investing more.

How can I go about finding such a person for individuals / small-time real estate investors?

Anyone have any recommendations in the Boulder / Denver, CO area?

@Connor Mckelvey

Are you comfortable working with your CPA remotely? If so you open yourself up to a larger pool of candidates. There are 20+ CPAs and accountants on this site that specialize in real estate taxation. Reach out to a few and see who you like. 

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

If you're looking for someone local that you can get face time in with, add Riki Singh in Denver to your short list of prospects (google him).
