The Worst Tax Preparer Reviews

Unprofessional and childish behavior I have ever experienced. It took Mrs. Dorota Okroj 19 days to reply and to contact me after I made 3 phone calls , including 2 on her cell phone and 1 to the office she works at. She is refusing to help small business owner since she is no longer my accountant. Would not recommend her services to anyone due to lack of professionalism and wasting people's valuable time.

They overcharged me 50 dollars and then they don't behave like professionals and told they not gonna do my texas next year when I asked for refund. I don't recommend it to anyone at all

Ernest is a Fraud! He stole my money back in 2020. He never told me that I gotten a return back. When the IRS sent me a letter advising me of the money owed to me that they were sending was deposited in his account. I advise Ernest I was getting money back. He never mentioned that it was deposited in his account. When I asked him about after weeks trying to reach him he blew me off and said he will get back with me . When I reached back out he said he was going to zelle my money but never did. Then he comes with I have to send it by mail. When I asked how much are you sending me back he never responded. I still don't have my money. Be careful and make sure you ask how much he charge before he does them.

Horrible representation. Childish and unprofessional. Go elsewhere for your own good.

I do not recommend working with A Jazz CPA. The owner, Angela, was very rude and not accommodating. I was actually shocked at how mean she was on the phone and even talked to many peers on what to do since I trusted her with personal information. I do not feel comfortable posting more to protect my identity, but I do want others to avoid her and protect them for what happened to me.

Robyn did my taxes for a few years while i dated a friend of her daughters. For my 2016 tax returns she told me i should have spent more time working than sitting on the couch watching tv. For context i Robyn did my taxes for a few years while i dated a friend of her daughters. For my 2016 tax returns she told me i should have spent more time working than sitting on the couch watching tv. For context i was only working on weekends due to being in school five days a week to get my degree and also interning 4 days a week. Even though I didn't need to explain myself, i did and she gave me a nasty look like "sure." I never went back after that. Mind you, she said this to me while also preparing my documents in her daughter's name so it looked like she was working. Pretty ironic.

The 2021 tax year return for the amount of almost $7k was wrongly sent to a bank I’ve never had an account with where sadly none of my money has ever been returned. Doug's only accountability was to send me to a Tax advocate that hasn't helped me to date. His incompetence has denied me my tax return for that year despite the evidence that I provided the correct information.

If you would like to have someone mess up your taxes or do a sloppy job go to mena! You can count on her She will make you pay up front to owe for two years as well as try to take an anticipated loan out in your name without you knowing!!! Shes not even worth 1 star Scam artist at its finest She file taxes in a struggling boutique. With no goggle profile smh

This man Yehia Bakr is a lying cheat scammer. He over charges for his so called services and then tried to scam you for work he never completes, stay away from this man.

I paid Pete to complete and submit my taxes for me. I had to move for work and he assured me that he would send me copies of my returns. I have emailed many times, it has been over 3 weeks with no response. I don't know if they have been filed or not. And how much I owe. He has not kept his word and I'm afraid that they haven't been filed at all. Based on this and that he has ghosted me, I would not recommend him.

Look elsewhere to get your taxes done. Told me they would file an extension. Didn’t respond to calls or texts and when finally was able to track him down, he didn’t know if he did or not and said would pay the fines. We made an appointment, I asked to send me the address, no word. I called day before appointment and he’s joking say he was probably drunk when making the appointment. In the end, he told me to find someone that’s more reliable after wasting my time and putting me in a terrible position. Don’t waste your time.

Do not use for your taxes. I have received a tax bill for 2021 because he failed to report income on my tax return that I provided to him. I have looked at previous years returns done by him and he puts false information in the return. They also steal part of your refund. They don’t have your refund put into your bank account directly from the IRS as it should be, instead they put it into their own account then they transfer it to you, but they keep part of it.

Totally unprofessional fraudulent behavior. Bad and discriminatory behavior towards clients. Does not inform about prices before and makes up prices after the work. Not recommend. You'd rather go to a professional and not to this amateur.

Unfortunately, I have not had a positive experience with Elena Wilske in processing a 2021 Estate/Trust tax return. I spoke with Elena at the beginning of April, and she agreed to assist with the return of my father's trust. I received notification that my account was set up in the portal but have not had any communication since. The return was due on April 15, 2023, and I have tried to call Elena a couple of times, I've sent emails, and even tried contacting her via chat on the EMW Consulting LLC online portal. As of today, April 26, 2023, I have no idea if an extension was filed or if it is delinquent. It is very frustrating and worrisome. Far from feeling this has been a positive experience.

She stole my tax refund from me.

Absolutely not reliable and seems like also not knowledgable either. He quoted me different, lower, price at the first call then he charged me in the end. I needed to repeat details for my tax return and my tax return amendment for previous year multiple times over multiple calls and event then he forgot to add details on my tax returns and was making changes additionally. He did my amended tax return wrong (or at least the outcome wasn't what he claimed it to be) and then he went silent. As soon as he gets paid he doesn't respond to messages, emails. Promises to give you feedback or do something in certain time frame and then he doesn't. Definitely avoid.

I used EDU for tax preparation for approximately 8 years after attending a seminar they conducted. I was very pleased with their service even after i retired and moved to Florida. They assured me they had clients living in Florida and had no problem receiving 1099 documents and other information sent either electronically or via postal services. Florida does not levy a state income tax and i hoped this would further simplify filing since only the Federal forms have to be completed. I received the tax check list in mid January and mailed the documents at the end of February. When i received the postal notification in early March that they got the Information i sent, i called to confirm they had what they required. This was the first of many attempts to reach them via phone only to get a recorded message. This is the final day before the deadline and i still have not heard from them. I am deeply disappointed that i have not heard *anything* about my status with them. I assumed they wished to continue our relationship when i received the checklist in January and am scurrying to get my obligation filed during the extension. I am also quite concerned about the documents i sent and if this presents a security threat. Robert Agnew (706) 289-1877 Update: Apparently, this business has been merged or acquired by a company called Interstate Business Management (www.ibmsb.com). The complaint i have registered should now be attributed to this new company. I have finally received an email from them but have still not been able to resolve my tax filing for 2022. Do NOT use this company for any reason!

If Helen decides she doesn't like you anymore she will totally hold a grudge and not even give you any simple advice. Not even if you are willing to pay for it. As a Christian I believe in forgive and forget, this is not Helen's way of living in any way!!

Don't always believe what you read on Yelp.  Sure wish I had done more homework on these people.  If I did, I might not be writing a check for $500 for this fiasco. My husband hired Brody Tax for bookkeeping in September 2022.  We met with Markita Brody on a different matter and she told us about their bookkeeping services. My husband is an owner operator and needs reliable bookkeeping.  So we decided to use Brody, especially after seeing positive reviews.  We left a large amount of receipts and invoices with the front desk assuming they would be handled properly and entered into their accounting software. My husband returned to drop off receipts and invoices for Sept - December in February and discuss tax preparation.  They took the receipts and shortly thereafter we received the tax returns.  They sent a nice little email with returns saying that my husband owed $57,000.  Can you imagine how that made us feel?  I opened the returns and immediately went to the Schedule C to see what they had for deductions.  I'm no accountant but I damn sure know they fkd up huge.  They missed over $70,000 in fuel deductions and more.  I would imagine that an experienced accountant would recognize that a truck driver would have much more than deductions for 3 months but he didn't.  I had to tell him.  Thats when the receipts that were dropped off in September 2022 came into question.  They said the never received them! Wait! What? So, back and forth we go.  They are insisting that I'm mistaking and that nobody in the office remembers me leaving these (6 months prior).  I asked if there was security footage in the building that would prove that we went in with them and left without them. We were in full panic mode!  They kept saying they were looking everywhere and weren't finding them. Eventually, I tried to walk through that day with Heather in the office and remembered that we had brought them in in a shoebox....so the office started looking for a shoebox.  Then my husband remembered they took them from that shoebox and put them in a yellow folder. So I called the office back and told them to look for a yellow folder.  THREE OF THE LONGEST DAYS LATER, we got a call from Heather...they found the receipts.  They were "tucked away" in some woman's desk - apparently known as an "office hoarder". So here we are two months later trying to get our taxes completed and because of the lack of communication on their part, we had to personally file an extension.  We are down to the wire on April 18, 2023 at 4:22PM as of this review.   Oh.....and they are charging $500 for all this.   TAKE YOUR CHANCES WITH TURBO TAX - DO NOT TAKE CHANCES WITH THESE GUYS.

I've used Don for years and worked for him. But what he did to us last year crossed a line. I asked him to file and extension in April. I was told he did this. Then gave him tax info first October he prepared the return, did not send it in. Did not tell me we owed last year. As the months went by I kept asking what happened with return he said everything good. In January I went to his office return was not sent in. I took copy then his girl said they would send it. I declined and mailed myself. I was penalized 50% of the return. With a income family this hurts a bunch. I'll never use don or Owen and Roth for anything again.
