Horrible experience with Brooks. I've worked with them for a few years and they are quite pricey…read more Service has always been very poor, but I kept working with them because I hadn't found an alternative. I will do so immediately. I received yet another notice from the IRS indicating something was incorrect on my tax return from 2 years ago and indicating I owed a significant amount of money. I asked Lisa for help determining if this was really owed and why and it was like pulling teeth to get any information from her despite the fact that she filed it, was paid to do so, and is best suited to answer questions regarding the return. I called her and she didn't call me back. She would only respond via email and partially at that. I wanted to know if she included incorrect information in my return (either caused by me or caused by her) and she was seemingly avoiding that question like the plague, instead just telling me very bluntly and rudely, to review it myself and pay the money the IRS is requesting if the numbers didn't match. Without expertise, this is very difficult to figure out and navigate on your own. The tax code is extensive! Further, if she was the cause and the IRS is in fact correct that I owe money, she caused me to lose a significant amount of money as interest accrued since the tax return was originally due in April. Moreover, every moment she delayed, interest continued to accrue. Did Lisa care? Not at all. As a service provider myself, I am appalled. Everyone makes mistakes, but who makes mistakes and leaves the person they injured to fend for themselves? So, what did I pay Brooks for? To possibly mess up and not help me correct it? She didn't offer to call the IRS or help me figure it out in any way. Even if she didn't make a mistake, I paid them enough money to help me or they could request an additional fee. However, they also take money from you and force you to pay for some audit service. Don't do it. If they won't help me with this allegation, what makes us think they will help with a more extensive audit? This is at least the second time something has gone awry with my tax return in 3 or so years of working with them. The first time they did offer to file again for me without compensation. I also second the other comments about their extreme lack of professionalism across this business. Lisa is disrespectfully late to just about every call and always with an excuse, totally lacking self awareness that the constant excuses don't fly with a paying customer. Again everyone is late from time to time, but Lisa / Brooks is overly egregious. They also are not good at asking you the necessary questions to ensure you report everything you need to report on your taxes. This has burned me several times. I'm also still waiting for a copy of my return, which I requested. I cannot wait to begin a journey with a different, more responsible and more professional organization.

I made the mistake of going today April 14th- the day before Tax Day. I was on line at 11am and didn't get finished until 2:35pm. I must thank Jamie for preparing the paperwork and Claudia for finishing my taxes. Next time, I will be going in March not April ....GOD WILLING. I just want to thank them because I made over the income limit and they did it anyway. I'm a little sad because I can't go there anymore for the tax income limit. The good thing is the other tax location is in Morrisania Health Center down the block. THANK YOU ARIVA. They are located above SPRING BANK. Thank GOD I got my taxes done.

A few years ago, when I filed taxes for the first time, I went to my local library, which hosted a VITA clinic run by Ariva. They set up shop in the basement, and while it was busy (since it was mid-April), it was calm, comfortable, and organized. I don't think I made an appointment (I can't recall) yet I didn't have to wait because there were plenty of staff. My preparer, Jennifer, was friendly and very knowledgeable. In about 30 minutes, she filed my federal and split-state returns, as well as educated me about various deductions. I never imagined filing taxes could be such a pleasant experience. Thanks, Ariva & Jennifer.

After Michelle reviewed my 2023 and 2024 returns, she identified areas where I had shorted myself and helped me file an amendment.
