If you haven't been selling stocks then you probably don't need one. Turbo Tax is prob fine for taxes. A CPA is probably helpful for your tax planning and financial planning. A Certified Financial Planner might also be good to have.

I might get flamed for this but I spend a lot of time browsing r/personalfinance. you'll pick up most of what you need passively. when time comes to file taxes use creditkarma or turbo tax. If you have spending issues and reading about other peoples answers isn't enough to get you disciplined then you can hire a CFP or life coach or something. check this out - https://i.imgur.com/lSoUQr2.png

I for sure wouldn't go to a cpa. It's a huge waste of money unless you had a complicated tax year. It sounds like you just worked, and invested. You will get all your forms in the mail and you can use turbotax, or another cheap software. Edit: I saw that you just moved here. Was it an expensive move? Was the move for the job? Did it happen this year? If all of those are a yes then a cpa might be a good idea.
