Think – Who did your income taxes last year? Did they give you good service? Were you happy with the result? Did they even KNOW trucker taxes?
Over a year ago, the TruckingOffice team made a commitment to go beyond simply providing the very best bookkeeping and record keeping services available. We began a search for the very best in other important services that all professional drivers need, like factoring, insurance, and tax services.
Several months ago, we had the opportunity to become personally acquainted with Dennis Bridges and his team at eTruckerTax. (His main office is in Atlanta, but he works with drivers nationwide.)
What Makes a Good Trucker Tax Preparer?
In addition to the 5 excellent points listed above, there are a few more qualities you need in a trucker tax preparer. To begin with, you want to ensure that your information is secure. No industry is immune to the never-ending problem of security breaches. So, don’t hesitate to ask how the preparer safeguards client confidentiality. A good tax preparer won’t mind answering this question.
Another quality you should look for is preparer availability beyond April 15th. This is important because the IRS and most states send inquiries and conduct audits year-round. You want a preparer who will be there to answer your questions or assist you at any time during the year.
Trucking taxes are complex and it’s easy to miss deductions if you’re trying to do them yourself. However, when you hire a professional, you can verify their credentials and history by checking with the IRS Office of Enrollment for Enrolled Agents (EA’s) and Certified Public Accountants (CPAs).
If you’ve been using trucking software such as TruckingOffice, the process of filing Federal taxes will be much less frustrating and a lot more accurate. All of your information is organized and easily accessed to help you get the most out of your tax return.
Questions to Ask When Searching for a Preparer
The questions we asked ourselves in our search are the same ones that you should ask yourself if you happen to be searching for a new preparer:
- Do they give prompt, attentive service?
- Do they know trucker taxes inside and out?
- Do they provide a great value for the fees charged?
- Have they been around basically forever? Do they have a track record? Have they proven themselves?
- And finally, are they fun and pleasant to deal with?
After checking out Dennis Bridges and eTruckerTax VERY thoroughly, we are very happy to recommend them to you for all your tax needs, starting with this tax season.

For me trucking office was way to much to enter and way to complicated to fill out all the information needed.
Sometimes it seems like there is a lot to enter for each load, but that is mainly because we have a lot of options. We have created trucking software that allows users to keep track of whatever details they want to. If you only need the basics then there are only a very few requirements when you enter the load information.
I need a trucking tax preparer for past and present years. My last preparer had office personnel misplace documents and they had to hire new people. It was a big mess.
