Does Your Tax Professional Know His Fiduciary (trust & estate) Tax Law?

Lets face it.  It is hard to tell if a "professional" knows his stuff.  So, how do you know if the guy that is about to prepare a trust or estate return for you knows his stuff?

I have a good test.  Here is the question:

"When do you want the estate to have a shorter tax year than listed below?"

Call Dave Kaufmann, CPA at 1-720-493-4804 to see what the right answer is.

Note that the table below is for estate income tax returns, Form 1041, not estate tax returns, Form 706.  Again, you are welcome to call Dave at 1-720-493-4804 if you have a question about this.
