Ask A CPA - Ask a CPA is a voluntary service to the public provided by the Tennessee Society of CPAs and is available to residents of Tennessee only. Ask CPAs general tax questions here. The society staff will make every effort to encourage a response to your question in a timely manner. However, delays or lack of a response may mean that there is not a simple answer. As always, we suggest that you consult your CPA with questions. To Find A CPA providing specific services in your area, use our Find A CPA directory. (Be sure to read our disclaimer.)
Call For Problem Reports - The Tennessee Society of CPAs' Federal and State Tax committees schedule liaison meetings in the spring and fall of each year with their respective taxing authorities, and encourage members to submit agenda items for discussion at these meetings. Submit your agenda items for discussion at the next meeting.
Money Management - Money Management is a weekly column on personal finance prepared and distributed by the Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants.
