Patrick put the wrong PIN on my 2018 IL-1040 for Property Tax Credit. He used my income property…read morePIN, instead of my principal residence. There should have been no confusion as I sold my income property and had all those documents separated for him. However, as a result, I received a return correction notice zeroing out my $600+ credit. I called Patrick to correct his mistake and he directed me to work with the Dept. of Revenue directly to provide what they are looking for. Now, they are saying I can only claim part of the credit because I bought the house in 2017. Reading online, it looks like I'm eligible for the credit on my sold property too. 6 months later, I still need to submit new documents and figure this out myself. Isn't that what I paid him for? By the time this is over, I will have spent countless hours on this over 8-10 months to fix his simple mistake. I think he knows what he's doing but he is working too fast and is prone to mistakes as a result. Then you're on your own to fix his mistakes.

We are still using them for our taxes and our youngest son's taxes. They are indispensable !!!

I could not be happier with Tax Lady 1040. My taxes were filed promptly and competently. She explained the basics of how a tax return is prepared, and why certain things were included or excluded. In addition, she found errors the last two preparers had made and corrected them. And as a nice bonus, Donna is a very personable person who made me feel at ease with the entire process. I highly recommend Tax Lady 1040!

I've worked with Howard for decades and have recommended him to my colleagues here at WGN who also work with him. From guiding me through the tax preparation process to offering his always informed thoughts on the state of the economy and offering investment tips, there is NO ONE I'd rather be working with than Howard. Howard has even played a role in setting up a long term health care program for me--something with which all of us will have to be concerned at some point in our lives. His work is impeccable, accurate to a tee and the source of great peace of mind to me. I highly recommend Kaufman Financial Services to you.

This resulted in me owing the government a large sum of money so I decided to use a professional tax accountant.

Jose at Millennial Tax was excellent in preparing my returns. He met with me and my wife and went through each section of the return and explained the options to save us money. His very reasonable fee more than paid for itself and he saved me over $1,000 compared to Turbo Tax. He also gave me insights regarding savings for my future returns. I highly recommend Millennial for your tax needs and I of course will use them again in the future..

He didn't even introduce himself, ask my name, my fiancé's and he was not interested in anything we had to say.
