Tax Guru – Ker$tetter Letter

Q:

Re www.taxguru.net/2006/10/more-corporate-confusion.html

 

I’m sure you realize this, but some of your readers may not – your statement that “Once a corp is established, it is not required to limit itself to its original type of business.  It can operate any kind of legal business enterprise.” is not technically correct, at least here in California (also where the questioner and corp in question were based), as general business corps cannot get into those lines of work, legal though they may be, where a professional corp is required.
 
That said, I wonder, since you apparently once lived/worked here in California, and I am small business attorney always on the lookout for a tax guru with your beliefs and approach here in Calif to recommend to my clients – if you have any such recommendations.  I see that your rec page lists none in Calif, but I thought I’d double check, given, like I said, your past history in this state, and the number of questions you seem to receive from here.  Perhaps there’s some you might recommend privately but are not ready to endorse on your web page?
 
I have worked with a number, and have not been too impressed so far.
 
Thanks, and keep up the good blogging work,

Thanks for pointing out that distinction with PSCs.

Unfortunately, the number of tax pros that are on my recommended list is extremely small, only including Russell Fox out there in the PRC.  I wish I had some more names to add to my page; but hopefully I will learn of more over time.

Good luck.
