I decided to have my taxes prepared this year by a CPA - due to all of the things I had to take…read moreinto account - buying a home this past year, capital gains from stocks to make the down payment on the mortgage - and so on - I needed for my returns to be accurate. And I don't trust accountant chains - such as H&R Block. In short, I felt my tax situation this year was more complex than normal and I was a lot more comfortable having someone who knows this stuff taking care of it. And having someone to represent me to the IRS should they have any questions about the preparation. I visited with Brown and Associates, P.C. last Sunday afternoon - met with Nettie - dropped off my documents with her, filled out some forms, had a conversation - and then waited. Nettie called me a couple of times during the week for some additional documentation she needed. They called me this morning to inform me the work was done and that I could stop in to pick up my paperwork. I stopped in before lunch, met with Nettie, went over everything, and got some good additional advice from Christie - one of their Staff Accountants. My only criticism of their business is knowing how much you are going to pay for their services. They charge by the forms they need to fill out - which makes sense. But, it would be helpful from an expectations and customer service standpoint if they had a checklist they could go over with you ahead of time to get an idea or guesstimate of how many and what forms would be needed and what that cost might be.

I tried to take my taxes here last year. That didin't work so well. I called around to various…read moreplaces trying to explain that I had moved from Puerto Rico and specifically asking if they could handle the specific laws/exemptions related to Puerto Rico and Federal Employees residing there. I also explained that I had property in CA so I would have to file there and in DC where I resided for part of the year. They assured me that they could do it. When I went in for an appointment I just sort of felt they like ignore you for the most part. I started to give all my documents to the lady that was going to prepare my taxes and have a seat in front of her and she looked at me like I was crazy. She didn't bother asking me any questions or look at the papers and thought I'd just walk out and trust her to do the taxes... Ummm I again explained about the complicated tax situation. So she finally went through the papers and asked quite a few questions that, had I left, would have made it impossible for her to do the taxes without calling me quite a few times. So I answer all her questions and of course she has no clue what she's looking at. She gets all the basics and says they should be ready the next day. No... I get there and they of course can't do the PR taxes, I expected that, but then tell me I owe something like 12 or 15K dollars in taxes. Yeah, apparently they didn't understand Federal Law related to Puerto Rico earnings either. I, as the non-professional tax preparer had to explain to her the Federal Foriegn tax credit and Puerto Rico's situation with the Fed. She assured me that a supervisor would review the docs and get back to me. They got back to me and basically told me that they couldn't do the taxes. I could either pay for CA and the bad Fed paperwork or I could just pick up my tax papers and go somewhere else. These people are the same as HR Block. A bunch of part timers taught how to use a basic tax computer program that anyone can buy (Turbo Tax, Hello!) and charge you hundreds of dollars for filling in the blanks. If you have a really difficult tax problem find a professional.

He completed my taxes in about 30 - 40 minutes, while I waited. However, he was unable to provide any substantive tax planning advice. It was only because of my very little tax knowledge that I was even able to get any money back from my return (he redid the expenses per my suggestion). His prices were ok, but you really pay for what you get. To compound his ineptitude, he delivered my taxes late to the IRS and never told me!!! I only found out when I received an IRS bill for $400 in the mail. He said he would take care of it, but never did. After sending him copies of the bill, he has only ignored my many emails and calls - leaving me with a $400 tab.

Step 3: Panic. Step 4: Download tax software. Step 5: Fill in the blanks. Step 6: Be confused and frustrated. Step 7: Cross my fingers. Step 8: Finish the forms. Step 9: e-file. Step 10: Pay, or wait for a check. I did this for the past 5 years and for the most part, it was fine. That is, until I received a letter in the mail early this year (2011) from the Commonwealth of Virginia about my 2007 taxes. Since then, I've been scared of The Government, and decided that I'd get my taxes done by a professional. I'm so glad I did. I picked The Original Tax Center because of their location, and because they are a small business that has been around since 1945. The place looks it too - it is the most unsexy place in DC. But you're not going to base a tax center by its looks right? I called them for an appointment and was able to get one within a week. The receptionist was incredibly nice, as was my tax preparer, Rich. It took him less than an hour to put all of my forms into his tax software and got me a really great refund. And right when I thought he was done, he wanted to hang on to them for a bit longer 'cause he wanted to double check something. He said he'd give me a call, and sure enough, about half an hour later, he called to tell me he found me even more money. Nice! Yes, the clientele are more my parents' age. And yes, I saw the receptionist use a typewriter at some point. But they got the job done and then some - and that's 5 stars in my book.
