			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by bambi</i>: what makes you change from tax services?</strong><br />
I am wondering what is the first thing you look in a tax company to file your taxes<br />
What&#8217;s the number one issue that will make you change from providers</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Count Your Blessings</i><br/>Here&#8217;s some guidance on the topic from the IRS @ irs.gov.</p>
<p>Tips for Choosing a Tax Preparer</p>
<p>If you pay someone to prepare your tax return, the IRS urges you to choose that preparer wisely. Taxpayers are legally responsible for what’s on their tax return even if it is prepared by someone else. So, it is important to choose carefully when hiring an individual or firm to prepare your return. Most return preparers are professional, honest and provide excellent service to their clients.</p>
<p>Here are a few points to keep in mind when someone else prepares your return:</p>
<p>    * Check the person&#8217;s qualifications. Ask if the preparer is affiliated with a professional organization that provides its members with continuing education and resources and holds them to a code of ethics. New regulations effective in 2011 require all paid tax return preparers including attorneys, CPAs and enrolled agents to have a Preparer Tax Identification Number.<br />
    * Check the preparer&#8217;s history. Check to see if the preparer has a questionable history with the Better Business Bureau and check for any disciplinary actions and licensure status through the state boards of accountancy for certified public accountants; the state bar associations for attorneys; and the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility for enrolled agents.<br />
    * Find out about their service fees. Avoid preparers who base their fee on a percentage of your refund or those who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers.<br />
    * Make sure the tax preparer is accessible. Make sure you will be able to contact the tax preparer after the return has been filed, even after the April due date, in case questions arise.<br />
    * Provide all records and receipts needed to prepare your return. Most reputable preparers will request to see your records and receipts and will ask you multiple questions to determine your total income and your qualifications for expenses, deductions and other items.<br />
    * Never sign a blank return. Avoid tax preparers that ask you to sign a blank tax form.<br />
    * Review the entire return before signing it. Before you sign your tax return, review it and ask questions. Make sure you understand everything and are comfortable with the accuracy of the return before you sign it.<br />
    * Make sure the preparer signs the form and includes their PTIN. A paid preparer must sign the return and include their PTIN as required by law. Although the preparer signs the return, you are responsible for the accuracy of every item on your return. The preparer must also give you a copy of the return.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by double_drago</i>: Provincial tax, or no tax on for online services in Canada, 10 pts ?</strong><br />
I need your help Yahoo! </p>
<p>I have an online e-commerce site, (we sell online tutoring services)  .</p>
<p>Our service comprises of online tutoring for North American students. The business is located in Canada. I&#8217;ve asked just about everyone if we have to tax our service, no one has a concrete answer.<br />
Would any of you have answer for me! </p>
<p>Appreciated<br />
the site is invalid . Correction please?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by BrainDeadZombie</i><br/>I can&#8217;t say for PST, but I&#8217;m pretty sure if you&#8217;re dealing with a student in Quebec you should be charging QST, check with MRQ to be certain.  http://www.revenu.gouv.qc.ca/en/ministere/ministere/ </p>
<p>For GST/HST there are two decisions that have to be made in each instance.  </p>
<p>First, is the service being provided inside or outside Canada?  According to their technical information bulletin on e-commerce, they consider the supply to have been made in Canada if the service is provided in whole or in part in Canada.  Since the person providing the service is in Canada, then it is in part being provided in Canada, regardless of where the student is.  </p>
<p>Since it is in Canada, GST/HST applies if you are, or are required to be, a registrant.  (If your gross is over 30K in a month, quarter or year, you&#8217;re required to be registered).  Since it is in Canada, the second question to answer is which GST/HST rate to apply.  The GST/HST rate would apply according to the place of supply rules.  My reading of the bulletin is that the place of supply would be where the student is.  </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a link to the bulletin, they have it in html or pdf:</p>
<p>http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/gm/b-090/</p>
<p>You can phone CRA business window, 1-800-959-5525 for help.  If they don&#8217;t seem to know what they&#8217;re talking about, call GST/HST Rulings.  They have people who are expert in answering obscure GST/HST questions answering their phone.<br />
Their information is here:</p>
<p>http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/gp/rc4405/rc4405-11e.pdf</p>
<p>Later edit:<br />
I just noticed, you asked about PST, not GST/HST.  It will vary according to each provinces rules.  For the HST provinces, definitely no PST, and not for Alberta, they don&#8217;t have PST.  You&#8217;ll need to check each non-participating province&#8217;s rules.  Each province will have a Ministry of Revenue website.  You&#8217;ll have to look yourself.</p>

Jackson heweitt is allowing people that have used thier services before to get a loan from them based on thier yearly income and if they are planning to file with thier services</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Bean counter</i><br/>I am an accountant.  Anyone who does this is a fool.  These loans have high interest rates and are not worth the trouble.  Also, unless your taxes consist of just a W-2, do not use Jackson Hewitt or H &#038; R Block &#8211; go to a real accountant who will do your taxes correctly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by </i>: Do I have to pay sales tax on print broker services?</strong><br />
I own a print brokering company. All of our clients are out of state, and our print vendor is out of state. Do I pay any sales tax on our direct mail services? We invoice our clients for Direct Mail which covers our print cost, postage, and a little margin. Please advise..<br />
I am located in TN also by the way.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by hrblockerrolquinn</i><br/>Dear J:  Did you register with the dept of taxation in TN.? You should have a sales tax number. Look at the web site for the dept of taxation for procedures. Normally out of state transactions do not charge sales tax. A lot of sates do not tax services. You need to read or call your state officials.</p>
