We have moved into complex taxes in the last two years…read more Utilizing the tax code and sound advice on withholdings we have been helped greatly to pay our taxes without it being burdensome. Valerie's tax service employees are honest, straight up about several ways to file within the tax code and they finished tax preparation in a timely manner. Could not ask for better when stressing over taxes. Separately for a fee when we had IRS complications three years ago Valerie's Tax service came to the rescue with understanding all the extra filings, proof of paying taxes owed and what was not owed along with knowing the IRS lingo required in email and on the phone communication.

If you want your "accountant" to be "accountable," this place is not for you…read more After my father passed away, I received an inheritance mostly in the form of his retirement accounts. In order to access, I had to close them. Before doing that, I asked Cindy if I would need to pay anything. I asked her in TWO different occasions just to make sure. She said that I would not owe anything. When tax time came up, I gave her the required forms and only after she did the taxes, she told me what I would owe. My heart sunk. She said that I was going to owe (more or less) $26,000 (my Lord, did she forget to carry the 2)? When I reminded her of what she told me, she said that I had to pay taxes on it as income even though I had specifically asked and she said no. This wrecked me and my wife. We had plans to help my wife's mother with medical issues and my wife was going to travel to see her next week. Not only can we not do that, we are going to be in financial trouble for years to come. My wife spoke to her on the phone and my wife asked her how we are supposed to pay for this. Cindy told her to put it on a credit card. Yes, you heard that right, a credit card. Insult added to injury. How often do you wake up one day and find out that you now have a debt of $26,000? The worst part, is that Cindy will not admit the mistake. It's somehow our fault that we didn't know. She even complained to my wife that I had sent her a late text because she refused to answer my previous text (cause apparently it's all about her. My God the ego). You know what Cindy? You can text me at three in the morning for the next ten years and I will happily suffer through the massive inconvenience of hearing a "beep" and you can pay our $26,000. How often do you inherit something? This was the first and only time for me so I asked my accountant. I trusted her with a sizable portion of our future and got burned worse than any other financial situation in my life. If you can't trust your accountant with your inheritance, whom can you trust? If she doesn't make a mistake on your taxes, you may well have a good experience. But if she does, just remember, she will not acknowledge it and it will be your fault. And you won't know what it will cost you until it's too late.

Sorry, I am still not "a fan", so cannot give more stars than three. I sincerely hope my experience was an outlier, as I know those good reviews here are not made up. Two additional notes for your reference: 1. As I said in my original review below, 2016 was a complicated year for us and 2017 was the first time we used a tax accountant. We may not be the most organized or experienced clients in any way. 2. As Honest Buck disclosed to me, they experienced some personnel change while preparing our tax return, which could be rare. __________________________________________________________ The bottom line: you may want to look up closely who you work with. Our experience last year was horrible. Full disclosure: our income for 2016 was very low due to life changes; and due to the same life changes, we decided to use a tax accountant to help us sort out the more complicated situation. However, honest buck wasn't helpful in any way to save my time, and as they charged upfront, I don't believe I should receive inferior service than their richer clients. Of course, maybe due to our low income that year, they were trying to send us a message that we should never go back to them. Long story short, here are what happened to us last year: - My husband and I ended up filing a 1040X by ourselves to fix the errors in our federal return, as honest buck used my husband's business's billed invoice instead of received payment to fill 1040 Schedule C. - We wasted a lot of time to send them all the information, and the only places they did not make any mistake are the forms that I sent them the filled forms directly. - They charged us for filling our state return (we moved to WA from a state with state income tax) and then told us they cannot do it but never refunded us any money or even provided any apology. It was very simple to file. I felt like an idiot through the whole process, as I paid some strangers money, shared everything about our financial details, wasted probably 50 hours+ time to get stuff organized in spreadsheets or forms to send to them, and ended up doing the whole tax thing ourselves anyway. Honest Buck was unprofessional and indifferent to us. Good luck to you!

The last one was $1,200 due to Rachelle saying I could file late for the extension but when I talked the the IRS, this was only for personal, not business taxes. This is something an accountant should know. I sent 6 emails and 2 phone calls in 1 1/2 months to honest buck asking to send the proof of extension to the IRS. I finally got a rude response saying she wasn't answering because I am no longer a client since I only use them for tax services and an extension was never filed. Highly recommend finding another company for your services.
