I did my taxes with Maya around March of 2020 for the year 2019, and I also asked them to fix an…read moreissue with the IRS because they kept sending me letters stating that I owed money for 2018. I knew there was something wrong because that year I barely made 35k and still, I got discounted Federal and State taxes like crazy on my paychecks throughout 2018. In like around 30-45 minutes, after I brought all the paperwork Maya asked for, they filed 2019 and re-filed 2018. Today, I got a letter from the IRS finally giving the money they retained back! 3K (See picture attached)! This was the best news I have received since 2021 started.

The overall process with him has been extremely simple and cost-effective. I highly recommend Jeff as a business accountant and as a personal income tax accountant.

Told Ken that was too excessive and would be going elsewhere next year. He said he understood, and that he was losing a lot of his customers. I've since retired and had to go to Ken for a previous business year adjustment that he was familiar with. He said the new owners realized they were losing customers and adjusted their pricing. So, I decided to go back for my retirement taxes, Ken knows his stuff. Well, they went back to their old pricing. I was charged me nearly double from the previous year. They won't see me again.
