Tim, I believe what you say is correct. If you have a CPA who is also an attorney then any conversation between you including paperwork is privledged. That is not so if your accountant/CPA is not an attorney. Of course I'm talking US Law.

PS On top of everything else your accountant has to be careful what he tells you because he can be censured or fined or at least that is what my accountant who just retired informed me.
