I made a tax appointment on April 1 for May 6. When I scheduled it, I told the office it was to…read moreprepare 2025 taxes for my mother and for a trust she has. When I arrived today, I met with a man named Oscar. I told him I was there to file taxes for my mother and for her trust. For some reason, Oscar asked me when my mother died -- she's still alive. Then he told me he couldn't do a trust return. When I asked why they'd booked an appointment for a trust return if they don't handle trust returns, Oscar blamed his assistant. This is despite the fact that "trust income tax preparation" is listed as a specialty on this very Yelp page. So now I have to start from scratch -- find a new tax professional and book another appointment, probably a month out. This is incredibly inconvenient, and it was easily avoidable. The worst part is that it's going to cost me real money. The delay between when the trust taxes should have been filed and when they actually will be filed is going to increase late payment fees and penalties. Will Robert Abbott Tax Services cover that cost? I left 1 star because 0 stars wasn't an option.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

From a cost perspective, KPR is reasonable for a seasoned professional in the upper level with a service touch. On the service side, Annabelle has been amazing in providing that extra care and attention to details to remind us of milestones.

She has set up a great process for all our work to be done online. I was very comforted by the clear checklists, timelines, and expectations for us and her. We moved this year and the process didn't change. We wholeheartedly recommend her services. She is an excellent partner for this very stressful and unfortunately necessary task.

I needed emergency assistance filling some past taxes since I was moving out of town. I had a lot…read moreof concerns and questions since I had many 1099s as well as different investments in stocks and cryptocurrencies. Got on the phone with Will and he was able to reassure me and answer all the questions that I had before we got to work. Will is super knowledgeable when it comes to filling taxes with cryptocurrencies and investments which is something that 99% of any other CPAs struggle with. Due to my limited availability, we ended up opting to just have will file my taxes online via email. After sending him all the paperwork necessary, Will said he'd work out my taxes the day after. Rest assured the next day came by, and before filling, Will sent me a couple of forms that needed to be signed, and my taxes were done! Will is hands-down the best and most honest and ethical CPA I've ever worked with, he always goes above and beyond to answer any questions as well as give any recommendations of any blind spots you might have. I was so lucky to have him work on my Taxes and will definitely work with him on any future fillings. If you need a CPA who's super knowledgeable on Tax codes, investments such as stocks and cryptocurrencies, as well as getting started on a small business or even recommendation on your current business, I cannot recommend Will enough. Will is always getting informed in new laws as Taxes change which is super important nowadays.

I like how I'm able to scan and email (or in my case share a OneDrive folder) of the collected forms and W2s and he can take it from there. Invoicing is clear and straight forward with itemization, a bit more expensive than the HR Block I used to use but a lot more convenient and helpful from my viewpoint. You get what you pay for as the saying goes. Always fun and friendly to talk to and he helps to lay things out clearly and offers some great advice.
