Does anyone have a recommendation for a CPA that actually does this or at least understands our crazy lifestyle??
I've looked all over here, FMCA, Escapees, etc and no mention of any tax prep services, Accountants, CPA's etc.
Would "prefer" a recommendation of a CPA that actually lives this style.
Thanks so much!

I do not understand your problem.
I full time. I have pension and investment income (and losses).
I have my taxes done yearly by H & R Block. Once you are in their system they can do your taxes at any office and pull up your previous years records for reference. They are not cheap but not as bad as a CPA's prices. Upon request you will be served by the most experienced person there who is usually the manager.

We use Tax preparation for travel nurses and mobile professionals. The travelertax specialist. . Joe is very familiar with traveling professionals & I believe capable of working in all 50 states. His primary clientele is Medical professionals but his practice does not stop there. We have used his service for the past 3 years & have been very satisfied. They are Enrolled Agents not CPA's
Only Enrolled Agents are Federally authorized tax practitioners allowed to work freely with clients nationwide. CPA's are state licensed and generally cannot solicit across state lines .

Thanks Dan,
I looked them up and they seem very focused on the traveler... thanks so much!!! I disagree with Ralph on the H & R Block issue.
We are Full timers but work and travel various states throughout the US during the course of the year.. too many issues to let a H & R Block person handle - JMHO! Besides, the "manager" is just a manager of people... not a tax person necessarily!

Downsizer, give Joe a call or email I think you will be happy with this experience. Tell him Dan & Kim Sees suggested him. No kickback for either of us just a good recommendation of a good crew.

I have to agree with you on H&R Block. I used them one time & I had to argue with the guy that the points I pd on my new home mortgage were tax deductible, never again.

Dan... I emailed last night and he answered me last night!!!! Very impressive! I did tell him you recommended him also...... just a courtesy that I am sure he appreciates!
Again, thanks for the recommendation.... I went through his workbook and makes great sense.....
