Client Reviews of Arnold S. Goldsmith

Arnold is very kind and patient, which I needed since I was confused about filing my taxes for the first time. He returned my calls the same day, and answers all of my questions. He even reached out to make sure I understood. He makes taxes short and simple.

“Mr. Goldsmith made two errors on my 2012 taxes. He automatically assumed claiming our college-age daughter as a dependent. I will accept part of the blame for this one, but it was still a mistake by a tax preparer not paying attention to detail. Mr. Goldsmith corrected his mistake with a 1040X. I found out later Mr. Goldsmith also neglected to include income from one of my two W2’s. This is sloppy work for a tax preparer. I contacted Mr. Goldsmith by email and he responded about the dependent error. He has ignored my emails about not including all of my income, and doing a 1040x for both Federal and State. I have sent three emails during a week’s time with no reply. This is inexcusable service from a tax preparer, who made mistakes and ignores his responsibility to correct these errors. I have been a client to Mr. Goldsmith for many years, and I am now going through a divorce. My husband is filing “Married filing separately”, and he had Mr. Goldsmith do his taxes. Instead of Mr. Goldsmith informing me of this I had to find this out through my husband’s Attorney. I consider this misconduct and unprofessional.” I am filing a second complaint with the IRS. It has been 2 weeks, with at least three emails to Mr. Goldsmith about his error and amending my 2012 taxes. Mr. Goldsmith has ignored responding to my concerns. Very unprofessional, and I would not recommend this tax preparer to anyone.
