UPDATE APRIL 23, 2023:…read more BETTER LATE THAN NEVER/ SELF-EMPLOYMENT SHAFT In my original review, I said "more on that later" re: my original estimate for my 2018 taxes being $1580, but the actual damage was $655 ($925 less!). I failed to say that that's because I had no more "self-employed" paper route. (side note: newspaper delivery is still legally classified as "self-employment", but it's actually "employee without employee rights") The point is, if you are self-employed, the tax prep fee is going to be higher. INVESTMENTS ALSO WILL DING YA In this update, I would like to say that my 2019 tax prep fee was $885. The $230 uptick in fees(from $655 in 2018) was probably because that was the year I did my first investment rollover. If you have investments (IRAs, annuities, 401ks,etc.), your tax prep fee will be higher for that as well (especially if you have a slush fund...;). Therefore pay no attention to these outfits that offer to do your taxes for "free." That's only for people with simple tax returns with no self-employment, no investments, no property holdings, or any other complicated financial scenario that could give your accountant headaches! DID COVID "STAY HOME" ORDER GIVE PEOPLE TIME TO DO THEIR OWN TAXES? My 2020 tax prep fee went down again to $540 (a $345 downtick from 2019) possibly related to the initial two week COVID-19 WA state "stay home" order from March 23, 2020, which was extended to May 31, 2020. The 2021 fee was an identical $540 (COVID lag?) But starting this year with the 2022 taxes the tax prep package recommended sending in 1/2 the amount I paid for the 2021 taxes ($540/2 = $270) as an advance deposit. So I sent them the $270 deposit. But when the taxes were ready, I looked at my 2022 printed copy, which showed their fee charges failed to take into account the $270 deposit I already paid. They corrected that when I brought it to their attention. But the total fee still owing was $405. So $405 plus $270 already paid = $675. Why the $135 uptick from the $540 charged in 2021 and 2020? I was told that that their rates were going up. Perhaps the somewhat improved economy since 2020 took away the luxury of time at home to do one's own taxes, and instead allow people the luxury of paying accountants to do their taxes.

Wow! Charles Grass is unbelievably unscrupulous. Worse yet, he bullies and discriminates against…read moregood people such as women, colored people, and the disabled. Upon first meeting, he misrepresented himself and his fraudulent services. I should have seen the red flags from the beginning when he spoke rather condescendingly to me. I'm a disabled man so I missed many other initial cues. He took advantage of me as a disabled person. That's discrimination. My sister, who had used him separately, had also been swindled by this man. She too had spoken about his condescending manner. Again, this is bigotry. To our detriment, we trusted him with basic taxes. Keep in mind that I said "basic". What a huge mistake. He "nickel and dimed" us with many unauthorized charges. This "nickel and diming" added up to be in the thousands of dollars. He hadn't attempted any communication during this process. When done, his charge was in the thousands of dollars. He charged more for swindling me than I saved in taxes. This is either bigotry or gross incompetence. Either way, it's unacceptable. When I confronted him over the phone, all he had was a pile of excuses a mile high. He then resorted to verbal bullying and condescension. Can you believe that. Mr Grass resorted to bullying a disabled man when confronted with his fraud. This man is incompetent and a bigot. I cannot recommend this crook for any reason.
