When you get a job, you have to give the government some of the money that you’ve earned throughout the year. These taxes pay for public services such as parks, public schools, and emergency services so it’s very important to file these taxes correctly. A tax accountant’s job is to help people file their tax returns.
Tax accountants work year round, but they are especially busy during tax season (February through April). One of their many duties is to collect any information that pertains to their clients’ taxes. Afterwards, they must follow up with them via email or phone call if any items are missing.
