- Bookkeeping designation (AIPB/NACPB) or IRS preparer record: The IRS's public file of active tax preparers (PTIN holders, updated 2026-02-23) lists Gerald H. Michalowski under the business name 'GERALD H. MICHALOWSKI, CPA' in Torrington, CT, with CPA on the record. It is one individual's IRS preparer record, not a firm license or a directory listing. A CPA entry there is self-reported to the IRS and is not a state CPA license. It does not prove service quality.
