    Frequently asked questions

    What is a tax specialist?

    Any licensed professional who handles tax work: CPAs, enrolled agents, tax attorneys, preparers, and tax resolution firms. That covers tax preparation, business tax, bookkeeping, planning, and IRS or state tax debt resolution.

    How much does a tax specialist cost in 2026?

    Individual tax preparation commonly runs $150-$500, business returns $500-$2,500, and IRS representation $1,500-$7,500. Taxcentra matches you with a licensed specialist; the specialist sets their own fees and consultation terms.

    Do I need a specialist if I owe the IRS less than $10,000?

    Usually no. Balances under $10,000 typically qualify for a free IRS online payment agreement at IRS.gov. Paid representation makes the most sense at $10,000+ or with unfiled returns.

    Is Taxcentra a tax firm?

    No. Taxcentra is a matching service. We connect you with a licensed, vetted tax professional who serves your state and case type — we do not prepare returns or represent taxpayers ourselves.
