I wanted to make sure I was maximizing my return and following all the rules. Anvi was so easy to work and communicate with. It starts out with the first contact - the group set a schedule and kept the appointment. The intake call was easy to understand and I walked away with my next steps. The whole process was so easy with Anvi on our side. I don't anticipate our situation was extremely out of the ordinary but being homeowners really changes quite a bit of things for me and my family. With the exception of some delays getting some organizations TAX IDs or EINs, Anvi was able to file quickly I received by refund within a week. A WEEK! I will be coming back next year. Gone are the days of filing on my own using TurboTax!

And if they make a mistake to try to help with correcting it and dealing with the IRS which was not the case. I will say that he has always been very responsive to my emails.

They are selectively "friendly" to certain customers. If you bring in a lot of tax revenue to them they will treat you well.

Probably also why they deprioritized my tax filing till after the deadline. What a disgrace
