“Very unprofessional” The lady named Reyna is very rude and unprofessional in how she talks to people and treats people very badly not sure why she works for a community service and has this kind of behavior. So sad for my community that allowed this lady to talk to them like that. Doing this review because I went with my mom and she talked to my mom rudely I told her to stop and we walked away.

Nahla also has Top Choice Home Care Inc. Out of 10 times we call her, she answers once, and when she picks up, she says: "I am gonna call you back" and she never does. Also, I have been chasing her for 3 months to get my pay check, but she never paid me, until I called the government hot line, then she is the one calling me today, what a surprise! But again, she said she will pay me today, but never did. It is a nightmare dealing with her, find another agency! She deserves zero stars!

E-Filed in February. Still haven’t received my federal tax return 6/19. Dennis doesn’t return phone calls. I got ahold of a secretary once and she took down my info, also never got a call back. Gave him all the info and somehow the form 843 was submitted without w2’s and to the wrong department. Had to resubmit it myself to the correct department and still haven’t received my return. All after paying for this tax preparation service. I’ve been giving him business for years and am extremely disappointed in how I am being ignored.

I’m very disappointed in his attitude! My father passed away and Paul D Block is his accountant. I contacted Paul for information on my father’s account to get everything in order. Mr. Block was not friendly at all!! Very unfriendly and informed me “What do I have to do with it” Im lost by my father passing away, unclear of the steps I need to make getting financial issues in order for the attorney. What an insensitive human being!!

IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD, SHE PREPARED MY TAXES, TOLD ME I OWED BACK TO THE IRS, ASKED THAT WE SEND HER THE MONEY TO HER BANK ACCOUNT, AND SHE NEVER PAID THE IRS. WE TRIED TO RESOLVE MATTERS WITH HER SON WHO TOOK OVER HER COMPANY, BUT HE BLOCKED OUR NUMBERS AND REFUSED TO RETURN THAT MONEY.

Don't use this CPA if you want the bare minimum done after paying $3,025 per year for: Joint tax return, Corporate tax return, payroll taxes, my mother's tax return. Also VERY short and rude if you need to ask any questions. Her excuse was she has deadlines and didn't have time for my questions!! I asked for an apology she never issued one, I'm a paying customer and her attitude shouldn't spill over onto her clients. After all taxes were filed and I had a HUGE tax obligation to pay, I paid the IRS in FULL and then received a letter from IRS that I never paid even after the IRS deposited the check! In a panic I contacted Robin for help with resolving the issue and she refused to help me because she "gave me a discount" Do yourself a favor and if you want a CPA that will help when you run into a issue and treat you with respect. FIND ANOTHER CPA!

Had our taxes done by Carrie. Went to see where our federal taxes are. Checked with the online portal and it showed taxes have not been sent. Supposedly she sent them electronically. We’ve sent her an email and voicemail and she has not responded to them both. Please save yourself and do not use this lady.

Casa Grande, AZ
June 162, 2024

Mr. Baker has always been professional. This tax season I dropped off tax documents to be prepared for an elderly friend that has been a client of Tom Bakers for 30+ years. Handed them to Tom, exchanged pleasantries then left. Tax season came and went. Elderly client and I went back to office to find it closed up. We left a note, to please let us know what what going on. One day later received a call from his sister that Tom had been in hospital and was getting better and taxes getting done with letter explaining why late ECT. Long story short. No taxes have been filed, no tax documents returned, no answer at any of the phone numbers. No death notice so what can a person do to get their tax documents back?.

Roberta Maxwell

Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles, CA
June 157, 2024

I just received notification from the IRS that Roberta never filed my 2019 tax return with them. I have been hounding her for years about why I never received my state tax refund that was due to me, and now it is clear that apparently it's because she never filed my state tax return either. Thankfully I owed money to the IRS in 2019 and I paid the amount on time so I hopefully won't have any fees or interest due, but this woman is A FRAUD. I feel terrible that I ever referred anyone to use her services - she has similarly screwed up returns for my sister and several other friends. I can't emphasize enough, DO NOT trust her with your finances.

Jose A. Martinez

Cicero, IL

Chicago, IL
June 157, 2024

JOSE MARTINEZ put the wrong information on my tax paperwork and when I brought up the issue wasn’t willing to do anything to help fix his mistake. Such a terrible experience and my family has been going to him for years. We all use the same address so I’m not sure how he could make such a careless mistake. The amount of disrespect I’ve gotten from him and his team is ridiculous all because I knew something wasn’t right and he just told be to be patient. I waited 4 months before Jose finally got back to be and said I should just find a different tax guy. Disgusting I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. I paid 400$ and didn’t even get my tax money cause he can’t properly do his job.

Jesus A. Arteche, CPA

Union, NJ

Ridgefield Park, NJ
June 155, 2024

It appears that the tax preparer made errors in computing my taxes as I received a notice of deficiency and am now ordered by the Division of Taxation of New Jersey to pay $877.00 including interest and fees for my 2021 tax filings When I reached out to him he said he said he was out of the country so our communication was through text and email. I would expect that if errors were made that the tax preparer would take lead on this and resolve it. The last text message I received was for ME to call and inform them of that the forms that were submitted and accepted through efile. This is all confusing to me, I don't see why I have to do anything as I paid for this service. Please advise.

Used this guy and was audited and had to pay fines and taxes due to incorrect filing by someone listed as a CPA. I checked and he is not a licensed CPA. The real CPA I used the next year to do my taxes was amazed at the many questionable things Mr. Rosiere did.

Beecher H. Brown

Oxon Hill, MD

Lexington Park, MD
May 150, 2024

Be very careful. I was loyal for years. I was audit a few times. My taxes got pushed back multiple times. I was charged twice for one year. I decided enough was enough and had a new tax preparer. I always asked questions, Brown is a fast talker like a car salesman. He always said things were OK, he blamed my wait on my taxes on the IRS personal for three years. Back to the biggest problem. The new tax preparer looked at the past several years I did taxes with BB. I owe at the moment $10k! Please if you see this do not trust him. Go somewhere else. I had multiple red flags, and all because I tried to stay loyal Even when I moved states I had stayed. Its not worth a couple extra bucks. Do NOT RECOMMEND! PLEASE STAY AWAY

Gail M. Chene

Tecumseh, Canada
May 145, 2024

I had a very negative experience via email with Gail Chene. It took over 9 days of back and forth emails with her. I was only trying to get a quote from her and instead she would just write me aggressively saying it was too soon to file, asking if I wanted her to "guess what tax slips i had", tell me about some tax book she wrote and that she deals with the Tecumseh MP. I don't even understand why this was relevant or why she was getting so upset over a new customer just asking for a simple, rough idea quote. She was recommended to me by my coworker. I am not impressed at all.
