Questions about hiring a CPA

Greetings:

I am a small timer but I own three rental properties.  Currently, I have a CPA that I have been using a few years.  I am not an expert in this area, but it seems that I am the one that has to point out to the CPA my deductions for the properties via my research....  Isn't that their job to help me by pointing out and suggesting areas I can save money?  Or is it MY job to do that or ask him?  Also, I have found errors in my last years tax return and I guess I need to point them out to him? Im just curious as to what others are doing and whether I should either hire a new CPA and ask questions when I hire him or just hire a regular tax person for a lot less money?  Your experience and guidance is much appreciated!   Gayle

@Gayle Eisner

It sounds like you need a new CPA.  I recomend my CPA Jeff Stoller and associates in the Baltimore MD area.  He has many real estate clients so he knows real estate issues very well. He can do out of state tax work.
