Desperate,…read moreI went to H&R Block they actually tried to charge me + $500 and the woman had no clue what she was talking about. My old CPA in NYC wasn't even that expensive, and this person was a "tax analyst" translation she read a book and went to a training class. Needless to say I couldn't leave their office fast enough. I saw the reviews for lotaxes.com and luck was on my side as they were actually willing to take me on as a new client at this late stage and still do my taxes (I dropped off my tax package and pickled up my return next day). They lived up to everything they advertise, reasonable fees, and friendly, knowledgeable service. I am so grateful to have found them. They took the pain away from an incredibly stressful experience.

We had such a good experience with Lily the first time, we wanted to come back to her. I went in Jan. to inquire about an appointment with Lily to file our taxes, but was told she wasn't there that night and they tried to get me to file my taxes on the spot since I was there; luckily I insisted to schedule an appointment and do things properly, while being prepared thoroughly..... just to find out later on that Lily no long works there, when my boyfriend called prior to the appointment (because they seemed odd when I was there, and vague when I asked about Lily) Anyhow.... after being deceived ...I thought I'd try them anyways due to the overwhelming good reviews on yelp.. but the same lady with a stern face and glasses attended me 2-29-2016, was less than friendly; felt like a session with a stern catholic school nun .... not pleasant. Before I even sat down, I told her I wanted a quote on how much my tax refund would be filing with them...since H&R Block and another flushing CPA (Ruth Wu - Sr.Accountant of Liberty Accounting & Tax Services) provided me with their quote. All she was willing to tell me was that it's $50 to file, take it or leave it.... but they won't offer an estimation to let people shop around. So why have me sit down, and then look at all my documents??? I get more friendly faces attempting to file my taxes online with turbotax right now... they got cute pictures too and very user friendly platform... not to mention, cost less too. In short.... you're a paid service.... so how about learning some customer service skills ?? a smile? nicer phrasing when speaking to people? Ask Lily to give you some tips if you guys still keep in touch. She was so friendly about 2 years ago, we still look for her... Change how your customers are treated before you lose all your clients to online platforms. What a disappointment today. I was such an advocate of this place when they first opened too...tsk tsk

I am so glad to have found this place. I came two weeks ago to have my taxes filed, which was super…read morelast minute considering how taxes were dued April 15th. I had visited several accounting firms before coming to this one; all had either refused to help me file my taxes due to how last minute it was or wanted to charge me an insanely high price (double to triple their usual fee). Anna, their main CPA, was more than willing to help me out without charging me a crazy inflated price. Due to the difficult nature of my return (which included several states, a company, some stocks, and foreign income), tax firms often don't know how to file my return properly. There would always be something wrong with my return and I would always have to request for amendments, which is time consuming and tedious. However, I was reassured by a staff member, Katie, that my return is in good hands since this accounting firm specializes in this type of return. I was told to "drop off" my documents and come back in a few days to pick it up with my return. At first, I was really skeptical about this because I had never done a "drop off" before. Essentially, I was to leave my documents with them until my return is ready for pick up. I usually have my return done in front of me and on the spot so I was a little nervous about it. And guess what? I worried for nothing! My return was done before I knew it and Katie was so kind as to explain to me why and how my return came out to be what it was. To sum it up, great customer service, cheap price for excellent quality work, and totally exceeded my expectations. Definitely going to have my company's bookkeeping and taxes done here too. 10/10 would recommend.
