The 1st step they took was to review my situation but more importantly they reassured me that we would work towards a favorable resolution. They came up with a plan to resolve my tax issues and took over all communication with the IRS. I listened and followed their advice to a "T". The result has been a very positive outcome. I am now in good standing with the IRS. I can't thank these two enough. Awesome job, you were amazing and thank you!!!!! I would highly recommend Community Accounting for simple tax returns all the way to highly complex issues with the IRS.

When we inquired as to how he secures our personal information, he shrugged his shoulders and said he doesn't lock anything up and isn't worried about the cleaning people or other non-essential staff or a break-in providing access to SS #'s, employment and bank records. 2) What should have been a 2-hour tax prep at best took 5 hours because Mike has diarreah-the-mouth and talked about himself incessantly for 5 hours instead of working on our return. 3) I sold a stock that had a split and a reverse split. Mike couldn't figure out how to calculate the base price for that stock, and told us he was going to use a stock price from another client who also sold that stock. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The base price is based on the date you purchased it, not on another client's return!!!! 4) Jan. of this year we received a "tax planning sheet" in the mail, without our knowledge, which included our full names, address, employers, 2013 salaries from last year's return, bank and brokerages with dividend/interest paid, home value. We take great precautions to safeguard our personal information, including shredding everything, and this f-wit had the nerve to mail all of our personal information!!!! We KNOW WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR, IT'S IN OUR TAX RETURN!!!! He has a lot of nerve mailing our SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS!!! Avoid this guy at all costs, he's got no concept of personal confidentiality of his clients and is putting everyone at risk for identity theft. Not to mention he demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge about multiple facets of tax planning. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

If I could leave a zero star review for Harold Blackburn and his office I would. Unfortunately, a 1…read morestar review is the lowest I could leave. I used Harold for 2 years successfully for my wife and I tax returns. For our third third year with him, our experience was dramatically different from the previous years. In our third year, Harold was completely unprofessional. For the third year, we provided all documentation for our taxes to Harold via his secure link. We followed up with Harold via email to confirm he received it and his response was thanks. Then when we got client copies of returns, Harold was questioned about the numbers not being accurate. Harold then blamed us for him not having correct information even though he confirmed via email he got it. On top of it, he then tried to charge us an additional $300 on top of his filing fee due to an accounting error he made. When we told Harold we had no problem paying his initial invoice if he corrected his mistake on our taxes Harold refused to correct his mistake. It was brought to Harold's attention that legally we could not sign our tax returns knowing that they're inaccurate. Ultimately, Harold decided to "terminate" us as clients rather than correcting his mistakes. All the information mentioned in this review, I have in emails proving my version of events.

He was professionally done with our year 2015 amended tax returns too. We are so impressed with his professional and kind service. We had a lot of tax problems and tax questions when we saw him at first. We called several other tax agencies before finding out about Hyung C. Im, C.P.A. We spoke with C.P.As and they didn't sound like they really knew what they were talking about and many times gave me conflicting information. When we spoke with Hyung C. Im, C.P.A., he was able to give me right answers to our questions that we were able to understand, and also gave us great suggestions for our business. We feel so lucky that we finally found him, who we are totally confident in his ability to do our taxes properly.

Let me start by saying, I own a business that provide services to clients, therefore I can attest…read morethat it is so hard to find a Professional that is efficient, trustworthy, accountable and most of all knowledgeable of their chosen Profession. With that being said - I decided to let my old Accountant go last year- 2017 and hired Hyung C. IM, C.P.A. After our meeting, I agreed on a price for his services that we discussed - to prepare my 2016 business and personal tax returns, my payroll and consultation for an amount greater that most Accountants would charge. The agreement is for the whole year that started on May 2017. I agreed to this because of my busy schedule running my own business and did not have time to look around because my taxes had past the tax filing deadline. As always, he seemed like an honest, competent person - as with the impression you get after meeting a new person for the first time, and believing in what the person said he can do (Since he is a C.P.A. and my knowledge in Tax preparation and rules is limited), because after all - he is a C.P.A. and it's hard to doubt his knowledge. Nevertheless, I insisted to put our agreement in writing before we can move forward. Luckily, I insisted on such contract - please read on. One of the services we agreed upon is for Hyung to handle my payroll. I signed the agreement on 04/30/2017 and he started working on my payroll on May 2017. Since my tax returns were already late, we filed an extension and decided to file my taxes in October 2017. When, I visited him in his office to pick up my completed copies of my tax return - he had the audacity to say that he should charge me for preparing my taxes so late in October 2017, since he had so much work and prioritize my returns. I shockingly stated to him that we signed a contract in May 2017 - that stated the work he just mentioned. . In addition, his terms were to charge me quarterly for the agreed upon services. I patiently told him that I paid the first 2 invoices that he sent me (advance for the taxes he will prepare in October 2017) even though he has not done any work for me except for the payroll. He smiled and said "I feel like I am not getting paid for preparing my taxes so late". I was speechless and finally after thinking it over and reading the contract we signed - he realized that I have a point. I had no words. Fast forward to my 2016 taxes he completed, I quickly glanced at the returns and were shocked to find out that I owe a tremendous amount of taxes. My business is an S Corporation, therefore the income of the business must be reported as my personal income (as an owner). I asked "why do I owe this much ($16,000 to be exact for personal, and over $3,000 for business state tax) where my previous returns were not that high?" which were still high in my opinion, I explained. It is why I fired my old Accountant and sought him out. He replied" I worked based on the information you gave me". Nevertheless, since the taxes were already late (October 2017), I decided to send it but not pay. His explanations did not make sense to me. This year- 2018, I sought out another C.P.A. and hired him to file my tax returns. I believe that things happens for a reason. The result - based on my business expenses, income, bank statement and deposits(literally the same information that I gave Hyung the previous year) with slight changes in the business income(not much because I no longer accept new clients) - I was happy and satisfied to find out that I paid my taxes obligation and no longer owe Uncle Sam. I decided to have my new Accountant review my 2016 return that Hyung worked on. The result - Hyung C IM, did not really review the information I gave him. He listed the revenue I collected as my business income without deducting the expenses. In short - he took on too much work (in my opinion - because this is a mistake that a C.P.A. would not make - giving him the benefit of the doubt). Therefore, instead of owing the IRS $16,000 - the I.R.S. owes me $39. As for the State, I still owe $150 but this is a relief compare to over $3,000 that I am supposed to underpay, based on Hyung's work. I submitted the amended returns for the 2016 taxes right away. I immediately sent Hyung an email on 04/02/2018 letting him know that I will not renew our contract because of this mishap. Below is his email reply... "Hello, I am sorry to lose you. If we had provided you with the full bookkeeping service, we could have served you much better. Anyway, I respect your decision to move the accounting service. One thing, do you want us to finish the payroll service for the first quarter or do we stop our service as of today?
