Common questions about accounting and cpa websites

Does my CPA firm website need to display my license?

Most state CPA boards require active license display on advertising materials. Your website should include your CPA license number, the issuing state, and your firm registration if applicable.

Do tax preparers need a PTIN on their website?

All paid tax preparers must have a valid PTIN issued by the IRS. While the IRS does not specifically require it on your website, displaying it demonstrates legitimacy and compliance with IRS requirements.

What confidentiality disclaimers does my accounting website need?

Your website should include engagement disclaimers clarifying that viewing website content does not create a client relationship, and contact form submissions are not protected by accountant-client privilege until an engagement is established.
