The Worst Tax Preparer Reviews

Tina really screwed me over. I explained I did not have the bandwidth this year to do my taxes. All I did was worry instead, do them myself, and then have more issues. I sent in my tax documents to her in February. I did not hear back from her apart from the first day. Her voicemail box is full, so you hope that she picks up her phone. I emailed her and did not receive any responses. I called her a month out to check in, and she said she was on them. Not hearing anything from her, I called her the last few Fridays before taxes were due and she said they were not done. Finally, when I called her the 14th of April, she said, "I may be getting fired," and then continued to explain that she did not have them done, or started. I then told her I would pursue other options. I spent money on a do-it-yourself software. When I finally got to the end, I received the error, IND-452, which indicates my taxes had been filed electronically already. I called Tina, she had done my taxes, and filed them without my signature. She then had the audacity to suggest that I pay her, even though I canceled the contract.

She’s very unprofessional and very rude. The mistake was from her error that she made, but just keeps trying to say that it was from me giving her the wrong forms. The worst experience I’ve ever had.

SCAMMER ALERT SHE FILED TAXES ON SOMEONE’S BEHALF WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION OR SIGNATURES SO HOW IT WAS ACCEPTED IS CRAZY. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HER SHE ALSO CHARGES MORE THAN ANY TAX COMPANY OR PROVIDER I’VE EVER KNOWN

Worst experience I have ever had!! We gave her taxes on time for 2021 to file, First she text me saying we were done and I looked at number she texted and did not seem right and when questioning about out of state info she forgot..? Since she waited till last minute, I asked that she file an extension and was never done, but we believed it was, 6 months later she text she was done. every-time she said she was done I never saw any documentation..not normal. Then we received a letter from IRS with all these fee's, we spent hours on the phone trying clean up. We have made many phone calls and communication is just NOT there. Finally she asks us to send copy of letter to her and she never did anything, Not to mention I still had not received original documents or any at that. Then over 1 year later she calls and wants to charge us an outrageous amount 1500 and disregard the letter I got from IRS. All I can say is this is the most unprofessional, lack of detail, no communication and price gouging business I have ever dealt with. Then find out she lied about saying she is licensed and certified, so many lies. please beware and do your research on people/ companies so many scams out there. The person that refered us was also scammed and read about few others now online.

This person is a liar and a hack. Made appointment and they were not there. Did not inform me via email or phone that they were “making a change of plans”. Disrespectful and unprofessional. Do not use this person.

Chere is very unprofessional and lacks communications skills to do her job. I have spent over two weeks just trying to get my taxes back from her that were supposed to be ready the next day or two. I have left countless messages, sent numerous emails. I had an appointment two weeks later that she didn't keep and still will not respond. I have had to file complaints with her corporate and now the state. Just horrific what this woman has done to a grieving widow. Absolutely disgusting!!!!

Horrible horrible experience with this tax guy. Hes old and dont know any of the newer laws, blabbs for hours about nonsense. Takes forever to do anything, claims he knows everybody and can get you a deal or discount, way too nosey about your personal details and families.

Would give zero stars if I could. Hasn't picked up his phone for me in 5 years, and now I'm in need of help, and he is ignoring most of my texts. Replies once every few months to say "Don't worry, I got you, bud" Well I'm very worried, Nick. I wish I could rewind the clock and take back the day I ever met him.

The process started out good, I went to the main H&R Block Website and clicked on Start Taxes w/ a Tax Pro which stated *Starting at 85$ - I thought that was an appropriate response and so I decided to proceed. Upon going through the process I was asked through H&R Blocks' account screen (Chat Message) to provide various details and other things so I provided these documents. Upon completion of these taxes being prepared by Rhonda Rennemeyer I went into my account to "Approve" my taxes and came to find a bill for 275$ (not 85$). I called the office and spoke to Rhonda Rennemeyer to question the pricing and my bill of services and I was told "it depends on the website you went to, the forms needed and the services needed to complete your taxes, I don't even know what website you went to and what services you needed for the programs I use, I don't even know what ones until I put in the information" I proceeded by asking some further questions of "why are the prices different than what I was told..." and I was repeatedly interrupted and hurried off the phone to the point where I could actually tell by Rhonda Rennemeyer's voice that she had no interest in speaking to me regarding my questions anymore and almost seemed irritated or "over it" when I had further questions. I began to be irritated with the lack of professionalism from her lackluster communication etiquette and was further interrupted and cut off and so I decided to express how I feel it is very unprofessional and rude to treat someone like this...being impatient and hurrying them off the phone when they are asking questions regarding their services that are being asked of for 275$. I was repeatedly told "well you can deny the services and that will be that and this can be done" over and over I heard this line as if she basically was saying to me "i don't care, just get off the phone if you don't like the price" - I was really shocked by the way Rhonda Rennemeyer was speaking, the hurried responses and interrupting Rhonda Rennemeyer was consistently putting into the conversation and I just feel as a consumer, this is the last way someone wants to be treated. I told her "I will never use H&R Block again if this is the way consumers are treated" which I was interrupted while saying and she responded with "That's fine..." and then she proceeded to (to me anyway) blame the way my taxes had to be done because I have two (2) states involved. I am extremely dissapointed in the way I was treated, I ended up hanging up on her at the end of the phone call because she was continuing to express how it was almost my fault and that "I don't have to accept if I don't want to pay" when I was calling to simply understand the bill and request an invoice to see pricing for the exact services she was providing. I do not care or wish to be spoken to in this way as a consumer who is potentially spending upwards of almost 300$ for services when I am made to feel guilty and hurried off the phone because I have questions. I was simply trying to understand my bill and instead, I felt shamed for it and that "i can go find someone else to do my taxes" - this is H&R Block? First and last time I will ever use this business for anything if this is what they allow their customers/consumers to be treated as. Do Not Recommend for any services.

I was quoted for a bit more than $200 when I asked for a family tax return service from Lynda Liu. She ended up charging me $650. Our tax is very simple and she made a couple of obvious mistakes and my husband pointed out at the appointment. She is very unprofessional and asked for a venmo payment without a receipt. When asked for a better price, she was very unhappy and wanted to cancel our tax return service without a refund.

He made a mistake for my tax return and I can't resolve the problem with the IRS.

Matthew Stephens of Hollywood, FL. Is one of the worst Tax Professionals in the state of Florida. My Business partner shared her screen with him as he reviewed and copied those personal financial documents, then never called, texted, mailed, or followed up in any capacity. Several messages and phone calls were left by my Business Partner to no avail. I finally got involved and he denied all communication with her via a Zoom meeting. He refused to speak with me nor update me in any capacity, although I am the majority owner of the company. He finally admitted that since my business partner who is a female had been referred by one his social companions from the area, who also was a female companion, that he had decided not to represent the company for any tax preparation or filings, because he felt there was a connection between him and my Female Business Partner after he saw her on the Zoom Meeting. Obviously this man lacks any professionalism and I demanded any and all financial documents he obtained doing the course of several Zoom meetings, as he lacks the professionalism and integrity to do any business filings on the behalf of my company. To date, he has not returned any of the documents that my Business Partner shared with him.

I would give Jeff zero stars if I could. He is a highly unprofessional individual who should not be practicing in my view. I have dealt with him for several years just because he is one of my client's tax advisor/CPA. This is what he wrote to me when I pointed out some issues with a recent tax document he sent to me on behalf of one of his clients. I would highly recommend that you look elsewhere for a financial advisor/CPA. EMAIL From Jeff below (Received March 16, 2023).... Thank you about the s corp. Are you aware that the 1099 has your corp number on it? That you don't send that in with your tax return. No disrespect but I have never in my life ever came across an individual that is so petty and unfeeling. TWO FREAKIN CENTS Are you crazy.or Is your time so worthless that you would even waste words over two cents. Do you have any concept that this is tax season or are you that oblivious to the world. I have checked with Marshall and he agrees that you can take the two cents and put it where the sun doesn't shine. Please lose my email address and I never want to hear from you again. I'm trying to put this in a nice way. If I hear from you again you will not be happy with the consequences. ------------- YOU CAN DECIDE FOR YOURSELF IF IT'S WORTH WORKING WITH SOMEONE LIKE HIM.

I can not get my taxes or paperwork back from this company. Can never contact the owner. She never responds to any communication and is never in the office.

We dropped off our taxes and she gave us the completed work but did not file them. A month later, we checked the IRS website and no record of the taxes being filed. She refuses to take our calls or return our calls. We paid her for services not rendered and forced to find another tax preparer. We will be filing a small claims case to get our money we paid returned. Use at your own risk.

Worst accountant ever and will disappear when you get a levy to lean. Will be contacting legal advice against his negligence.

If I could give this guy 0 stars I WOULD. The absolute worst experience I have ever had dealing with him for the past 4 years. Why 4 years … I sold my homestead in 2019, gave him my documents to file my taxes for that year. When he finally got around to them I ended up getting a bill from the IRS for $149k!!!! He had completely left off the information regarding the sale of my home. When I brought to his attention he gaslit me to know end saying I never sent him those docs to properly file even though I emailed them directly to him on at least 3 different occasions. When he finally amended my 2019 taxes in 22’ I got a bill for $17k! He called me irresponsible for not having that money saved to pay that bill, 3 YEARS LATER! I took my taxes to a different account and she amended them and not only am I getting almost $4k BACK, she stated in her over 40 years of doing taxes and fixing returns she had never seen someone make so many blatant mistakes and felt in her professional opinion this man shouldn’t be doing taxes as his work was completely incompetent. DO NOT USE THIS MAN FOR ANYTHING TAX RELATED Now I am having every return this man ever did for me reviewed because this was egregiously wrong and he needs to retire.

Justin Ackerman is the worst accountant I ever made the mistake of hiring. He severely messed up my tax return and caused an audit and me being over charged in fees to due his numerous errors mistakes and gross negligence on my tax return. I would NOT recommend using this horrible accountant who takes no care in filing tax returns or giving an useful advice and worst of all he doesnt follow how you did your last years return or follow your instructions to him. Horrible accountant with no attention to detail or care for doing quality work in any way!

You may wonder why there are no reviews of Mr Stanley Sadlak or at least any positive reviews of Mr Sadlak and that is because Mr Sadlak is DISCEIPTFULL DISHONEST MANIPULATIVE AND A CHEATER. These facts are the result of the numerous lawsuits filed against him by former clients whose finances he has mishandled. In one such case Mr Sadlak took advantage of a vulnerable disabled elderly couple who as a result of this situation has caused a tremendous financial hardship for them. I have personal knowledge of this situation and I can attest to the fact that Mr Sadlak displayed all of the negative behaviors listed above. The vulnerable disabled elderly couple now have great difficulty in paying their bills. If you choose to do business with Mr Stanley Sadlak be forewarned that you do so at your own peril!!!

Would urge others to avoid JT. He cost us approximately $20,000, hours of anguish and loss of sleep and rest. Our payroll information to the 3 tax agencies were incorrect or were never filed. NYS filing was incorrect. Had to hire someone else to work with NYS to remove enforcement actions. Would urge others to avoid. Was asked to provide a tax plan for the business he never provided one.
