Badran Tax - Waiting Area of BadranTax

Badran Tax

(11 reviews)

Highly recommend their services. They helped during an IRS audit where the IRS tried to deny me…read morehundreds of thousands of dollars in my carryover losses from prior years. Their team worked directly with the revenue agent, provided strong documentation, and showed the returns were prepared correctly. They were able to get the IRS to accept my carryforward losses, and Badran Tax successfully challenged the proposed changes after their detailed review which saved me thousands in penalties and interest that were not supposed to be assessed to me. They were very responsive in their portal, accurate, and professional. 100% highly recommend them for any IRS representation.

I'm not someone who tends to exaggerate, but working with Badran Tax was one of the worst decisions…read moreI've ever made. They charged $2500 up front but never did respond when I asked what that money would cover. After waiting a week with no answer, since I was in a hurry to resolve my tax problem, I just paid it. I wish I hadn't. Over more than a year, they took weeks to respond to messages, and getting them to actually do any work was like pulling teeth. I had lost my records when my business closed down, so I needed them to reconstruct my financial picture from that year (the main reason I had a tax issue and something another accountant had told me could be done). Instead they simply asked me to estimate the numbers, which they used to fill out the tax forms and make the calculations. Big whoop. If I could do that myself, what was I paying them for? It certainly wasn't worth $2500, the hundreds I had to pay to give them power of attorney, or the $700 more they demanded to actually file the past-due returns. They wanted even more to dissolve the business, file another return, etc., but I stopped it there. When I had questions, I couldn't get answers. They would just not respond. And when I called to speak to Mr. Badran directly, I was polite but couldn't get a full sentence out. He would interrupt every time I tried to speak, but he never actually said anything. He didn't explain what they were doing or why, just rambled about nothing. In the end, I paid over $3000 just to file two old returns, and it took me more than a year and a ridiculous amount of mental anguish and frustration. I've really held back on how angry I am here. Please don't waste your time and money.

I opened my first small business a little over a year ago and at the beginning didn't give much…read morethought to filing taxes. It seemed simple, come on April 15, throw a stack of papers on the accountant's desk and all is taken care of, right? WRONG. After talking to a friend (also a business owner) I found out that there is much more to it, and that what I've done, or rather failed to do could become very costly if not promptly rectified. After contacting Gary, in what seemed to be the 11th hour, I explained to him my dire situation and that I was entirely overwhelmed with the whole process. He was extremely understanding and very patient. My first consultation on the phone lasted over an hour, even though it was late in the day and way past business hours. He went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and meet me on the weekend to sit down and devise a plan for handling my situation. He explained to me about quarterly taxes, payroll taxes, sales taxes, etc. He showed me deductions I didn't know existed and explained why some deductions aren't advisable. We discussed the differences and benefits of filing as sole proprietor vs LLC vs Corporation. There was so much to learn. Over the next few weeks he worked closely with me (via texts, emails and over the phone) to resolve my situation, get me caught up and file year-end taxes. He worked with IRS to reduce penalties for my previously unfiled paperwork. After the tax rush was over, we met again and this time we talked for a while about my financial situation, my business goals and how to best structure my business and plan for the future. I highly recommend Gary to anyone, especially if you're a small business start-up or just need some financial planning advice. He is smart, passionate about his work and is very easy to work with. He truly cares about helping his clients no matter how small or insignificant their problems may seem. He will travel to any (reasonable) destination to accommodate your needs. Our last meeting took place at my local coffee shop. I felt like I was hanging out with my old friend and planning my future over a good cup of java.

So happy to have met Gary. He is an expert with tax resolution. Very pleased with the quality of…read morehis work and thoroughness.
