Just moved to the US with my partner and our situation is a bit complicated so we feel that we need to enlist the help of a professional.
In essence, my partner is an economic dependent, but that status might change, and we only moved here for the second half of the calendar year, which is why we don't know whether they count as dependent for the full year (and a variety of ramifications because of this).
We've got two questions:
-
Should we get a CPA, a tax lawyer, and accountant, or what is the right category of professional for us?
-
How do we find a good and affordable (<$250) professional in New York City?
I've read through similar threads on this sub and most recommend asking friends and family. Alas, we don't know that many people yet and those we do know tend to be Americans that are not familiar with our situation and can thus not really recommend someone.
Thanks for your help.
