Tax Help Desk/Research
Over 75 Years of Working for Tax & Accounting Professionals
The core mission of the NSA is to help tax and accounting professionals become more successful.
Accountants and tax practitioners who have established their businesses can take advantage of member benefits and discounts that positively affect the bottom line of a small practice. NSA also increases the value of membership by remaining in constant contact with members through email newsletters, announcements, publications, social media, and surveys. This open and transparent communication allows Leadership and staff to develop better programs to help members be successful.
NSA is closely aligned with ACAT, producing the exam and study materials that allow potential credential holders to obtain ACAT’s prestigious designations.

About the Tax Help Desk
- To answer your questions in a timely and efficient manner, we recommend you submit your question in writing. This will allow you to include the necessary detail in your question needed for NSA to answer your question and will reduce the amount of time leaving messages back and forth over the phone.
- Please include all pertinent facts with your question(s) with as much detail as possible–the more detail we have, the sooner we’ll be able to respond to you and the less likely it is we will have to go back to you for additional information.

- Do not send any documentation to the Tax Help Desk that contains private client info, such as social security numbers.
