I had a very pleasant experience having Mr. Symington prepare my taxes this year, personal and…read moresmall online business. He is old enough to retire but is choosing to keep working on his own terms, like me. I appreciate his extensive knowledge of the tax system, and I am getting a better-than-expected return this year. His fees are clearly posted and are very reasonable because you are not paying for the overhead expenses of a fancy office. He even gave me some guidance on deductions for my small business next year.

Ann is very professional and knowledgeable. I moved to Iowa from New York and found Ann through…read moreyelp. This was the most pleasant tax preparation experience by far. I'm so accustomed to waiting 2 hours to be seen and have my taxes done, but this time even with my interest income, student loan interest payments, moving expenses, NY state and Iowa State filing, she did out married filing jointly taxes in about 20-30 minutes. The fee is really reasonably considering the complexity, accuracy, and timeliness. I recommend calling in advance and scheduling an appointment to meet with her to prepare your taxes. Ann herself is really nice, welcoming and I highly recommend her. She is fully licensed CPA and professional. I'm always on the look out for a great tax preparer and avoid the big chains whenever possible because those types tend to hire seasonal tax preparers who don't have CPA licenses.

I've been coming to Carla since 2011ish. I've been to HR block, I've been to other tax people. What…read morekeeps me coming back to Carla, aside from the free pens, free calendars, and copious amount of free candy, is that she knows me. This is like the Cheers of tax business. You're thinking.. How is that possible? Try it. She has all the fixins of that home town feel right in the heart of Des Moines. She has seen my financial and life situation change over the years from college and part-time jobs to full time jobs, to marriage and divorce, to buying a house and soon enough a child. The physical growth of this business over the years is a testament to the clientele she is getting and maintaining. The last two years I paid in for missteps I was making, and Carla troubleshooted me through it and I got it figured out. Funny enough, I discovered one of my best friends, who is a self employed, also gets her taxes done by Carla.

He ignored direct questions as if I wasn't there. Would ask a question then would not wait for the answer. b) Did not review my prior year data I brought c) seemed intent on filling in the blanks as quickly as possible, regardless of if they are right or wrong. I requested several corrections and repeatedly asked him to slow down so I could give him the right numbers. d) waiting days for a response or no response at all to email e) they use a secure document sharing site, good in itself. However, he created multiple new links for correspondence. It made it hard to keep track of which session to use . It would have been better if he kept the initial link throughout the process. f) Refusal to let me review the completed tax forms before filing it, even when asked. The appointment was rushed and disorganized. Most disturbing, I didn't know what information he was reporting on my forms which left me stressed. Issues: After filing, the IRS and State of Iowa sent letters that 1. For overpayment of Fed taxes (a refund was issued directly for Fed) - This really upset me because I shared a concern I thought he was reporting my tax payments wrong. I was right and the IRS caught it. 2. My daughter's taxes (EZ for first job, her one and only W2 was incorrectly reported.) I had to submit the form directly to the state. Maybe it was a one-off but I cannot recommend them. May anyone who goes there have a better experience.
