CPA who specializes in RE in DFW area

[Bart H.]

Does anyone have a good CPA they recommend?

We are looking for one who specializes in real estate, and who is willing/affordable for small investor do their federal income tax returns and help us thru issuing 1099's.

.We just got our LLC set up, although it has been more or less dormant this year other than a couple of expenses. In addition we have a have a couple of purchases/sales in '16.

I actually keep meticulous records in quicken, and have done our taxes in the past.

I think overall we would be fairly easy first time clients.

I use a company called Farmer, Fuque, and Huff. They are located in the North Dallas Area. I wouldn't say they are creative tax specialists, but they are detailed. I would also do a little research on the 1099s, they are very easy to do yourself and you'll save money not paying someone - especially since you use quicken. I use QB and it's a breeze, I assume the same is for Quicken but I don't know for sure. Also, I'd also check on if the 1099 docs/envelopes/stamps would all fall under your LLC as a business expense, whereas paying a CPA to do the 1099 would fall under your itemized deduction - this could have a small impact, but worth looking at nonetheless.
