We had been going to the same accountant for a few years and always dreaded working with her, but…read morewe thought she was at least doing a good job on our returns... until this year. We caught multiple mistakes. Unfortunately, some of them were found after they were filed. So when my elderly mother realized she had not filed her taxes in the very last week to do them, I took her documents to Benton where I was greeted with more kindness and professionalism than all the years combined with my old accountant. They worked to get her return completed on time. They kept me posted on the progress. During one phone call, they said they were checking them over. Wow! If only my old accountant had taken the time for that! Every person I dealt with at Benton was professional and friendly. This is where we will be taking our taxes from now on. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I had a poor experience with Bev. I often found her difficult to reach. I would call multiple times…read morebefore I would receive a call back. On at least one occasion I received mail from the IRS which I forwarded to Bev. It went unanswered. Mostly recently I learned my business taxes had been filed incorrectly. Admittedly, I was partially responsible for this error as I had wrong information on my end. Bev took over a week to respond by which time I had already had someone else take care of it. Only when I went into the office in person with my complaint did I receive a call back. Both the person at the front desk and Bev were quite dismissive of my concern. Bev asked at one point 'how long have you been doing taxes' when I expressed difficulty trusting her advice due to my current tax circumstances. Through many calls to the IRS, I learned that my business' taxes were pending with the IRS because they were on the incorrect form. I would think my tax preparer would be aware my returns were not accepted. I also learned that my business taxes were not filed at all for one of the years. When I asked Bev about why they weren't filed I was told she had a medical concern that year and it was a tough year. The only remedy I was offered for any of the concerns was that she would file the amendments. I elected not to do that due to my inability to trust their work. I can't honestly recommend her to anyone in good faith.

I used Tony for my business taxes for years. Got audited by the Irs and met with the agents and…read moreTony in his office in September. He told them he didn't have access to my books but he did the whole time. He did my previous years and always had access. I reached out to Tony many times after the meeting. In January the irs closed the audit with their own guesstimate because Tony never did my returns. I asked him what to do and he said ask the auditors. They recommended that I find someone else back in December and I should've listened. Now I have about 2 weeks left to appeal and I'm looking for a new tax professional to work with. Tony will say he's done thousands of returns and this is somehow my fault but I did my part only to be led astray time and time again. I've never been treated this poorly by a professional.

My husband and I moved to the KC area in 2011 and needed an accountant. I found Rebecca Brown when…read moreI did a search on the internet. At that time, she was listed as "KC Tax Guy". She did a great job for us in 2012. After my divorce, I went back to her in 2013. Then again in 2014. Up until then, I thought highly of her. I even recommended her to a friend. In 2015, I was disappointed that not only was I not getting a refund but had to pay back the IRS because my income had gone up while being enrolled in the Market Place in 2014. Rebecca's fee had gone up as well and when I queried her about it, he condescended to me saying that her clients didn't have so many W2's (I have several streams of income). When I had further questions about my responsibility to the IRS, she talked down to me to the point where was made to feel stupid. I concluded she wasn't the right accountant for me. Earlier this year, I finally got hold of an agent with the Market Place. After reviewing my file, she told me there was an omission on a form in my 2014 return that may have caused me to pay back more than I owe. She said it was something I needed to discuss with whomever had prepared my return. Reluctantly, I went back to Rebecca. Not only could she not figure out the omission in 2014, I found an error in her notes regarding my health insurance coverage in 2015 that would have cost me a penalty even though I provided documentation proving coverage for the entire year. When I went in to sign, I said I thought I had seen a larger federal refund on the file she emailed to me. Her manner suddenly changed and she held the cover letter up in my face and repeated several times, "this is what you want to look at!". I replied that I didn't understand why I wasn't getting more back since I claim myself and pay into the system. She smiled at me and told me I was ignorant. For this I paid her a fee of $220.00. She also tried to sell me a "Peace of Mind" agreement for another $189.00 for her services in the event of an audit. The manner in which I was treated was shaming and demeaning. It has caused me anguish and depression. I will be taking my complaint to the Missouri Board of Accountancy. Helen H Overland Park, KS
