Bob Lockwood has earned the designation of Accredited Tax Preparer issued by the Accreditation Council for Accountancy and Taxation, recognized as such by the IRS. The IRS intended to "vet" all tax preparers thru its Registered Tax Preparer Program (RTRP); however, a judge sidelined that effort in Loving v. IRS, where the judge found that tax return preparation is not "presenting a case" before the IRS.

I have known Bob since grammar school and trust him with every aspect of his vast experience in accounting. On one occasion, Bob took up my fight with the IRS and it was settled to my benefit. I will continue to rely on Essential Accounting and would give Bob more than the 5 stars allowed!
