I would not recommend doing any business with this firm, especially Waseem based on my experience…read more After receiving an IRS audit notice, I reached out expecting guidance. Instead, I was told I would be charged additional fees just for them to respond and submit documentation on my behalf--despite them having prepared the original return. Even more concerning was the lack of communication and education. Important topics like depreciation, depreciation recapture, and proper land vs. building allocation were never clearly explained, leaving me exposed to potential tax implications without understanding the full picture. When I later asked for my depreciation schedule, I was questioned about why I needed it or interested in this topic now rather than simply being provided my own records. That response alone was both unprofessional and concerning. If you're looking for a CPA who is proactive, transparent, and actually guides you through the tax strategy side--not just filing forms--I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Disclaimer: I was recommended to utilize David Zhang's expertise by a family friend of David. This…read morereview is not on the employee (who was pleasant) but it is on David. I first went to consult David back in March 2022 and he was great. He answered all my tax questions and I was in and out of the office in no time. I thought to myself, great, I just found an amazing accountant in my neighborhood. During that time, I explained to David about my situation and he responded to come back to me when tax season is over and all he has to do is to file a 1040x (to amend my tax return - 1040). (Side note: The issue that I had was that I initially e-filed my taxes. The federal rejected it but the state accepted it. Which is why I went to seek professional services in resolving the problem). So on December 12, 2022 at 1:30pm I went to see David and his office was busy. I told David I did not have an appointment and I asked, "should I make an appointment"? He decided to hear me out at first but then he passed my case to one of his employees. The employee explained to me that since I did not file my taxes 2020 taxes with them, there is nothing that they can do and I would have to come back during tax season. I tried to explain to them what David told me back in April (to come back after tax season) and David told his employee in Chinese "just ignore him, he is too annoying". Yup, just because someone doesn't speak the language, doesn't mean the person does not understand. The funny thing is that, just over the weekend, the same family friend asked me how was my experience with David because she wanted to file her taxes with him for the upcoming year. I raved about how great he was the first time around but after this experience, it got me to think: if a family friend doesn't even use your service in the first place, it is extremely telling of your professional demeanor or the lack thereof. This review will probably not affect the business but if you are looking for a tax accountant in Elmhurst, stay far away from this place.

He FORGOT to file my 2019 NY and NJ state taxes and I didn't find out from the state tax agency until 4 years later that I owe $7000 in penalties and interest!

He would only agree to pay for $1000. He claims it's my responsibility to audit him and tell him that they were not filed. I am suing him in small claims.

Missed my tax deadline, blamed me, then fired ME as a client!…read more I hired Simpson & Kirkman Tax to file my 2024 taxes with an October 15th extension deadline. I signed an engagement letter on September 30, giving them over two weeks to complete the work. From October 3rd, Ben knew my documents were disorganized and would require cleanup. Despite this, he waited until October 14th - one day before the deadline - to send me the specific P&L template format he needed. When I asked basic structural questions the morning of October 15th, he was still providing guidance and clarifications through October 16th. I provided all requested information within 24 hours of receiving clear requirements, though admittedly a few hours past his same-day deadline. Rather than work through it or communicate deadline risk earlier, Ben simply didn't file. When I asked about their penalty reimbursement process (standard practice for firms with E&O insurance), Ben claimed we had "not engaged in any services together" - despite having a signed engagement letter from September 30th. He then terminated the relationship, leaving me with accruing penalties. Professional tax firms manage deadlines proactively, communicate requirements clearly, and take responsibility when they drop the ball. This firm did none of that. They waited until the last minute, provided unclear guidance, missed the deadline, blamed the client, and walked away. Save yourself the headache and hire someone competent.

After over 20 years of personal and home office tax accounting, and them reaching out to make an…read moreappointment for this year 5-6 weeks ago, they cancelled with a few hours' notice, after I had uploaded all documents to their secure portal. My last straw with a declining business. This stems back to a dispute from last tax year--they did not review my return carefully, resulting in a careless error in reporting out of state income I documented and a five-month delay in getting my state refund. They were casual and non-communicative about a letter from the state with a deadline for response, to which I had to rush a reply to get a postmark to be in legal compliance. They were indifferent that a significant refund was at stake. In a previous year, a server went down and they lost all returns. Careless. Another year we had to submit additional documentation to the state as they said that their software had a glitch which affected many clients' returns. Bureaucratic and unreliable. Tony used to provide a personal touch. But it's a large bureaucratic operation, he doesn't even give a simply reply like "I'm working on this matter" when he is CC'd on an urgent matter. The receptionist tell you "it was on Tony's calendar for last week," not "Tony has taken care of this." It used to be in person annual appointments, then went to Zoom, and then became by telephone. The amount of time was reduced very year, even as fees outpaced inflation. It's overpriced, and the service and reliability are not at all what they used to be. Tony used to be a nice guy and very professional, but he's only a shadow of what he used to be.
