Minneapolis area: maybe a stretch, but anyone have recommendations for great accountants this tax season?

Spouse is commission-based & we own rental property. Our accountant last year basically went cross-eyed and said our “situation is out of her comfort zone.”

Ew lol. Hate that response. I can’t help with MN area. But can offer two tips. My accountant is very religious like says god bless in their sign off. It’s through my family. Which is also confusing because my family is not religious lol. But they do it very cheaply. And it seems like the religious affiliated or congruent ones look for loopholes vs saying no bc that’s essentially how religious organizations go about it. I’m not saying be sketch on your taxes or do loopholes. But, often times those exceptions are totally legit and useful for your situation. I’ve found some accountants to want to do it very basic and not look into any them. Or if it requires more work they just say no. Like they’re like well you need proof or whatever and I’m like okay that’s not a problem! The other suggestion, depends on how comfortable you are. Could use it as a weird networking move lol. Reach out to some creatives at like Fallon or Carmichael Lynch or freelancers in MN and say love what you’re working on, but this is random and I was actually curious if you had a reco for an accountant.

This is super helpful info. I’m definitely not looking to cut corners, but we get absolutely hammered on paying in, so I’d love finding every possible solution. I still have a couple contacts at some of the bigger agencies, so that’s a really smart idea. I appreciate it!
