The Worst Tax Preparer Reviews

He is an unprofessional individual. He does not take responsibility for his actions. He did my stepfather taxes,and it was a total disaster, he wrote the incorrect account number(that will be investigated by the IRS pretty soon), and when we called to tell him, he just said that it was not his problem, and told him to call the IRS because he was not responsible.

Never allow Ann Lev to get involved with your or your families finances.

Let me start of by saying, giving him 1 star is extremely generous of me and I only did so because I was required to. Ethan is an absolute degenerate and was making lewd sexual comments about my sister, who is only 6 years old. Aside from this, he gave terrible services. Would not be surprised if he went to jail before his contemptible business collapses like the anthill it is.

Even one star is too much for James. He is taking advantage of immigrants when they don’t know the laws. How do they even give him a license when all his work is fraudulent. Very disrespectful to the customers and his files are full of mistakes. I caught him taking advantage of single mum.

Aquinas Jones is not a CPA that operates with integrity therefore I would not recommend him to anyone. This has been a nightmare...I paid him a deposit out of good faith because I was initially excited to work with Aquinas (as he came recommended) and he took advantage of me…Once I got the agreement back from Aquinas (a week later, because he told me he was busy working with other clients) it was a really high quote and still said “estimate and not invoice with a final cost.” I sent the agreement around to people I know and trust as I was looking for Aquinas to work with my small business long term and was advised against signing the agreement, and told I was being charged an additional $200 per return above the average costs for a basic 1040 filing. I called Aquinas to address my concerns and during that call based on his responses decided I will not move forward with signing an agreement and requested my deposit returned, he happily responded he would do so to myself and my witnesses who were present. As per his outlined contract work begins once 50% is paid, I still owed $1200 in order for that requirement to be met alongside a signed agreement. After hanging up the phone, Aquinas not only cut off all communication with me he started IGNORING all my calls and email correspondences after being so accessible before?!?! I reached out numerous times asking him to please do the right thing and return the money as he said he would, and he refused to respond to me. Once I escalated the claim with PayPal demanding the money back, he resurfaced but only to state his claim directly to PayPal as to why he should NOT return the deposit he agreed to return to me. I received no explanation from him directly or any services/tax filings, I am highly disappointed in how Aquinas has demonstrated his professional character.

Direct deposited my 2019 state and federal taxes into his own bank account without my knowledge and permission. Thief, fraud, crook.

DO NOT USE THIS PERSON!! I paid her to do my 2019 taxes and after numberous times of trying to contact her over 3 months i find out the IRS never received my return that was (allegedly) electronically filed.

She filed my taxes January 22.. Today is July 16th & I still haven’t received my refund! I contacted her several times to let her know about letters I received from the IRS stating that numbers didn’t add up and must’ve been entered incorrectly . Avonda has ignored me several times & the fee she’s charged me for this unprofessional service is $400!

As a Senior Tax Advisor for H&R Block covering the Rockville, MD. area I relied on Ms. Marques to conduct a secondary review of my taxes, done by another tax pro in the office. I felt as though the return did not accurately reflect what I had owed. I requested a review on June 30th and did not receive a call from her until July 9th. During the call, she stated she would have a response to me NLT the Monday before tax filing deadline. While I understood the complications and strain that COVID has placed on all forms of businesses (and especially tax preparers at tax time), the tax deadline bared down on me and my family, and her lack of care for clientele may have cost me a significant amount of money. I had wanted to ensure they were prepared correctly and relied on her to assist me with that. As a result; I am having my taxes reviewed by an independent accountant after the fact, will no longer have my taxes prepared by H&R Block after over a decade of good service by them, and will seek recourse should the independent firm find significant discrepancies.

He is a very difficult person to deal with. Very dense. I realized that in reality he is just a very sexist man toward woman owned small businesses. I felt greatly discriminated against because he would start yelling at me as if I was his daughter when I would ask about expenses which are normally claimed in business. I made examples about larger companies claiming such things as expenses but I guess since I am a female owned small business I am not allowed. Extremely sexist man. If you value equal rights for women and equality I would go to someone who is more professional.

Poor service to say the least. My mother has been going to Judy for the past couple of years, probably 5 or more. This year, there's is a serious lack of communication. Specific form was needed, once provided was told she would try faxing but the IRS lines were busy. No indication on if the docs were being mailed or any other information provided. Emailed , no response. 14 days later, emailed again. Will be looking into reporting and/or BBB as we have not received any type of assistance. Why charge people to file their taxes of you are not going to follow through?

If there was something lower than one star she would earn it. Irene has my returns since 3/22. She acknowledged receiving them via email due to COVID on 4/6. I reached out to her in June. No answer. July 7. Left a message, emailed. Irene called back and left a message saying they would be done tonight she HAS my paperwork. July 9th No returns. I left message again. She actually returned the call prob because I called her office AND cell number. She said my returns will be done Thursday now. Nothing July 10. No email, calls. Nothing. July 13th I call again in between my own job. Spoke with a juvenile that sounded 16 years old or younger. She took my name and said I can come in and sign them but being that I checked the IRS site they were never filed. I told the young girl this. Puts me on hold. Gets back on and said Irene will call back. Irene does call back and said she now can’t locate my documents I had emailed her on March, that she acknowledged and then acknowledge on 7/7 saying “they’re next in my pile of 20. “. Now I’m concerned. This person has my SSN on my documents and claims now they’re lost. On her computer somewhere. I send them again. She said she will do them tonight and call me at 9-9:30pm. Not a single call! I left her a message. I texted her. I emailed her. And no response. How is this person an actual accountant? Totally disorganized. Unprofessional. Loses your sensitive information. My info could be floating around in her messy office. Now they are due in two &&%# days and I have to go find someone else all because of the incompetence of one person who shouldn’t be in business no less licensed.

Maria had always done out taxes good. Then as soon as we received a letter from the IRS about taxes owed and tried to contact her to help she would not return multiple texts or phone calls. We tried for months with no response. Also tried to just schedule next years taxes to be done, in hopes of a return call, she won't return our call. Won't recommend due to this.

Do not recommend! Doesn't care to help after the taxes are filed. Even while filing taxes, doesn't answer questions and comes up with a blunt response that it's not as simple as you think

Tania Gil is irresponsible, a liar, and someone you should stay away from! She lost my family’s W-2’s and for almost 3 months she kept evading our calls and asking for a “call back” which never took place. I finally got on the phone with the staff at 600 Summer St-H&R Block one week before the deadline and they couldn’t have been more inept but at least admitted to have lost them. How easy it is to request a copy of our W-2’s; instead Tania Gil kept stating that my family’s tax return was ready and every time they called or showed up to the office she never showed her face. I expect H&R Block to take action and hold Tania Gil and the staff at 600 Summer St accountable for taking advantage and discriminating against my family. For a company that’s “regulated” this is a messed up situation that could have been easily avoided if Tania Gil and the staff at 600 Summer St would have been honest from the moment THEY LOST those documents! While a copy is easily obtained we now don’t know where these sensitive documents ended! We are now worried about identity theft. Thank you H&R Block!

Unreliable, vindictive, mean spirited, controlling and egocentric. She tossed me under the bus 3 days before tax day. She did not like being challenged on tax law.

I dont normally leave reviews but thought it completely necessary to warn others about this disgusting man. So surprising to see any sort of good review for this guy, i was looking for a new accountant after moving from the east coast and this man came recommended, met him once after speaking to him on the phone, he dismissed me within 5 minutes. I wouldnt waste your time trying to deal with this excuse of an accountant.

This tax professional attempted to send my stimlus via cell and lied and claimed they were unable to verify my status when the irs portal contradicted her allegations. Below is a response from a text ahe sent as I inquired on the status: I will have the IRS investigate "Yes, it is $1,200 for stimulus as long as you are good with the IRS. My max with Zelle is $1,000. If I can verify it,of course I would send you the rest. I just didn't want you waiting any longer, because I know you need it now bro"

Patrice is a scammer, she ran off with $4000 of my money and then stop returning phone calls, do not do business with her.

Absolute fraud/scammer, this criminal took my money and provided no service. Right now I’m working with the police to get my money back.
