Started going to this guy back in late seventies when returns became bit more substantial & complex because of newly acquired real property. For good 20-25 pretty much uneventful yrs except for couple of "routine examinations" as explained by this master manipulator. And so it went on under his guidance until 2004 when a standard triple decker multi fam was sold. Fully expecting uncle Sam to get his fair share of capitol gains of around $100K and while in the midst of preparing returns for the year he goes "By showing about $45-50K more in expenses we can possibly save about $15K in cap gains. Just a suggestion mind you, it's your call to make" Believing this guy knows what he's talking about and there to protect his clients, my reply was "sure Tony, go ahead" Huh. One fine day shortly thereafter uncle Sam sends a bill nearing $20K including unpaid tax, interest and a hefty penalty. Entrapment; You know it! When confronted him, on top of the obvious perfect excuse he goes " I'm hoping there's trust, we're family now" Should've walked away right then and there despite some friends urging hey idiot, what are you a friggen masochist? If this so-called "professional accountant" had done his job properly protecting you there should never have been an audit. Uncertain for long while and incredibly looking back, stayed on w/this back stabber I suspect mainly due to naiveness and also fact that up to then was not aware that the IRS compensates whistle blowers aka dishonest accountants anywhere from 15-50% depending on severity of intent, etc. Do family members fall into that category though, on the other hand if you can't screw family who you gonna do? Apologies for ramble but read on, it just just gets juicier. Four years went by until mid-August 2009 when a huge fire that started on 1st fl of a different triple decker multi-fam rendered total loss of not only mine but another three fam right next. Insurance paid the claim of course since tenants admitted they had a party w/forgotten candles the night before. Main thing there were no fatalities thank God, all 3 families w/children got out safely due to functional smoke detectors. Year and half later in 2011 ended up selling the burned out left over shell. Here's where it gets real interesting, straw that finally broke the camel's back. Went back to this mo/fo, apologies to any ladies who might be reading this (but it's short for family member anyway) again expecting to pay bet $125-150K in cap gains, this time, he's going for the kill!!! "No need to claim the $500K plus insurance money, let's just report the sale of property" which came to $260K he goes, adding of course the proverbial "it's a chance we're taking you understand, think about it and let me know what to do." Dumbfounded stood there in disbelief. How in the hell this king of slime had managed to stay in business all this time is beyond me, unless of course there are more dummies out there. Umbilical cord finally severed, walked away from this unscrupulous accountant oh and by the way along with him don't have to cough up extravagant $3500-4000 annual fee. read more

I've been going to Anthony for 20+ years for tax prep. He's done a great job, and I'd highly recommend him.

so, a guy needs a heart transplant. he's offered the heart of a 26 year-old marathon runner or the heart of a recently expired, chain smoking, 62 year-old irs agent. he takes the irs agent's heart. when the doctor asks why, the man says, "because it's never been used." NEVER BEEN USED!! taxes are no fun. no matter what. doing them yourself is a tricky proposition. did you fill out your form 19864025-A? or is the 19864025-AA the right one? this 6878324-F looks right. i had income from a fishing vessel, right? i'm a quadriplegic, limbless rabbinical student - there's got to be some deduction for that. but is it the 90234689-XX for rabbis, or the 7895423-EZ for amputees? the 23467834-6457 for students of the one, true god? alcoholism is a disease. what do you mean i can't write off my copious liquor purchases? hello? unreimbursed medical expenses? tax laws have created more liars than golf. as you sit there, desperate, on april 14th, double checking that a post office is open past midnight, weaving a tale of half-truths, utter fiction, and just enough of the actual factual to keep you out of federal prison, do you ever wonder if it's really worth it? i knew i was in trouble when i could no longer understand the tax forms, no matter how much i had to drink. anthony milonopoulos to the rescue. philosopher. mathematician. gentleman. scholar. anthony will hook it up. having someone who does this for a living 12 months a year asking the right questions to make sure you get all of the deductions you're entitled to; making sure the i's are crossed and t's are dotted; and letting you know in no uncertain terms the black, white . . . and gray, of the latest and greatest united states and massachusetts tax codes is truly invaluable. at the end of the day, you have to pay your taxes, but there's no rule that you have to leave a tip. with anthony, i'm confident i pay what i owe. no more, no . . . well . . . no more. and that's what counts. "The difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is the thickness of a prison wall." - Dennis Healey fees are based on the complexity of your taxes, but it's well worth it to me to stay on the right side of the wall. anthony is located up belgrade avenue from roslindale square. parking is a bit of a bitch as there is no lot, but spaces are usually available on the street. call early in the season to make an appointment. convenient times/days fill up fast. read more

I called to ask for a quote on how much my personal taxes would cost and the woman told me I cannot give you a number the prices are all different. I told her I own a home and have a job, there's nothing more complicated than that, and then I asked for a price range. She retorted with, "Did somebody send you to us or are you calling on your own?" ....does my knowing someone who you know affect the price???? I said I'm calling on my own. She told me, "oohh well I can't give you a price, it's all different." read more

Anthony is the best accountant in our area for the past 20 years. He has always been honest reasonably priced and open for conversation . I read a couple of reviews and a few people were annoyed that they were too busy to deal with them. Typically businesses that are busy and can't take other customers are busy for a reason. They have committed customers like myself that won't even go anywhere else. read more

Tony, has been doing my family's taxes for over 28 years. He is worth the wait and price. Everything is done according to the appropriate tax laws. I trust him and would not want to go anywhere else. Thank you Tony. read more

I've been going to Tony for over 15 years now. 1 - I've never been disappointed (but I've never gone in with the expectation he's going to make me a millionaire either). 2 - I've never been audited or gone to jail... big plus!!!! 3 - Tony's always taken care of me and treats me right You might only need him once a year, but should you call him in July, he's there. He's not off to his day job at WalMart or something. He knows the laws and the ropes. He didnt just go take a 3 day class and he wont disappear on you come late April. Does he charge more the his cookie-cutter competitors, of course he does. A Mercedes is going to cost more than a Yugo, and for what you get, he's a Mercedes at the price of a Toyota. Look, you dont skimp on your clothes, your food or toys. You want the best and you have no problem paying for it. If the $50 extra is going to kill you, then go to Joe Shmoe. If you realize that you deserve better than that, go to Tony. Like the commercial said, you can go buy software in a box, but should the IRS call your name, who would you rather have beside you, a box, a 10 week amateur, or a pro? Now, I've never had my taxes done by anyone else. That's saying something. Not once in my life have I ever thought he did me wrong (and if you know me, that's saying a lot for him). THANKS TONY read more

I have been going to Anthoney since 1998. Now that I've moved from Rozzie to Hull the only thing that will change is how long it is going to take me to get there. Tom Mac read more
