She acted like I was stupid for not knowing what all the forms were and how exactly to file. She then refused to help me waive the penalty for not having health insurance a couple months out of the year when I was laid off and unemployed. When I had originally started filing non turbo tax they waived it. She then charged me close to $300 for the service just because I own a home. Which is a form that is super simple and basic to fill out. It took me 5 mins to enter on turbo tax. I should've walked out and left, I didn't realize at the time that was an option or else I would have. I asked the lady my options and she did not tell me I had the option not to file with them after entering every thing in.

I have to do multi-states, which is tough enough. Then my old company wouldn't give me my w2 and div b and blah blah all these forms to do my taxes. After spending numerous days trying to deal with one of the big chains on taxes i just ran out of time and they didn't seem to give a shizz. So on the day that taxes are due, i call up Bruce Tabor's accounting group. Told me to come right in and they'll take care of me immediately. What did they do for me? hell i don't know crap about taxes but this is what i do know. I wasn't late paying, i got a pretty good sized return, and they worked around my schedule and what worked best for me.

HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TAX & ACCOUNTING BUSINESS!!…read more Listen to the bad reviews because they are 100% correct! I saw these reviews when I found out we would be working with this company after a referral from my husband's friend. I was trying to give this business the benefit of the doubt without actually basing off reviews. This is the truth. We got our taxes done by Russell Purkey - who is the son of Michael Purkey (A father and son duo). After having everything put together to prep for this tax return - to make it easy for the accountant; Russell didn't take the packet that I had prepped which I thought was very odd. Usually, accountants take everything so when they need to retrieve information, it is all there! Instead, he took down notes but not EVERYTHING! After receiving our tax return just yesterday, we were both shocked from what was received by things not added on correctly or tax EIN weren't input as they should be. Also, we ended up owning $15k. WOW! Not to mentioned, my husband was under the impression that the cost would be much cheaper but Russell was charging high. PLEASE, get everything in writing when doing business with this company. I see red flags everywhere!! I had to call a few CPAs today and they all say that they get all of client's info regarding taxes and now we are having to get a second opinion because this didn't seat well with me at all. Also, I called the Purkey & Laughlin Tax & Accounting this morning; which Russell doesn't have an extension number or name to direct my voicemail to. So, in return I left the voicemail to Michael. My concerns were valid and obviously of urgency; which I waited 4 hours before having to call back again and ended up speaking with Michael on the phone because Russell was apparently busy and hard to reach. Apparently, they can't do anything about it to fix this. It was obvious that Michael was trying to protect his son Russell and not hold him accountable and make an excuse saying bad communication between my husband and Russell. This company is unprofessional and not to my standard of how it should be. Please do your research and find a reputable CPA that will get the job done right!!
