I also ask for the seller's Schedule E from the prior tax year to see actual costs incurred.

Ask yourself this, if you supplied utilities, water,e tc for the tenant and you didn't pay the bills for it.

People should generally have no problem with e-mails, phone calls, even Skype if you want to see them face to face. 

Most CPAs charge $800-1,200.I'd look to charge form 8825 like I do schedule E.

One might do this because they may flow a greater amount of income from their Schedule E, without paying taxes on that additional amount.

Please e-mail me if you're interested.

i get a firm commitment for that date by e-mail or text. third i follow up as the date approaches. if i have any doubts about the contractor's availability, i line up another contractor as a backup.if the contractor has been appropriately informed of what i need and has agreed to do it and fails to perform, i switch to another contractor.
