I have been telling my family members for years now, I can assisst them for free or even they can do it online themselves for FREE. Edit: Sure I can expand on that. My husband and I went to you to prepare our taxes years ago. There was a conflict with the taxes you prepared because of his status. We received notices from the IRS pertaining to the taxes you prepared and being someone who is a license tax preparer we expected that you would have been knowledgeable especially when the IRS imposes new rules in relation to ITIN or new green card holders. When we panicked you said you would know what to do but you didn't. We were under duress and you said you would fix the issue and didn't. What you did instead was just put a band aid over the situation with no real solution. Your advice to us was to give you power of attorney to be able to speak with the IRS agents directly since our work hours conflicted which I still haven't revoked or removed and had forgotten to do so. I will be contacting the IRS to make sure you are removed. The way you handled our circumstances was very poorly done. You added extentions to our issue but the issue still existed and when the extensions ran out and we received notice to levy our property and garnish wages, we instead went to seek help from the IRS Tax Advocates who did assist us and fixed our issue and resolved our issue resulting in us receiving money back instead, INCREDIBLE! You never apologized for your failure to resolve the issue or seek for other resources if you didn't know how to fix the issue. The IRS were the ones who advised us to contact the IRS Tax Advocates and thankfully we did. This experience was very stressful to endure even though this happened a many years ago. I think it is important that people know what they can potentially encounter and maybe you are more knowledgeable now, I don't know. In the end that is what is wonderful about these platforms. As consumers, we can share our personal experiences with others. Also this a public platform so I would never reveal my real name to the public for my own privacy and protection which you should automatically know most people don't use their legal names on here.

I have pretty complex business and personal tax requirements and have a CPA that I've been using…read morefor years, but was searching for someone who was familiar with IRS ITIN (SSN equiv for undocumented aliens) filing, which no one was interested or qualified to do. I called 1/2 dozen names listed by IRS as authorized agents for ITN filing and Mary Juarez sounded the most knowledgeable and asked the most detailed questions. It was clear from her pricing questions, that she more interested in getting things done correctly, rather than just filing an ITIN which was my original process. I was expecting an office that just collects fees for filing ITIN applications (kind of like those shady private DMV shops) but to my surprise she was VERY knowledgeable and VERY professional! She setup a meeting to meet with myself and my friend, and went through many scenarios and assisted him throughout the entire process. She gathered necessary documents, notarized others and filed with IRS telling us it would be 60-90 days if we are lucky. My friend had ITINS for his entire family in about 30 days!! She is now helping him organize his business expenses so he can properly document his income and pay taxes, which will help him in the future. Never did we feel we were "on the clock" or that she was trying to upsell other services or forms to file. She was very responsive by both email and phone. I was so impressed with not just her professionalism, but her compassion for her clients, that I am likely going to move some of my investment organizations taxes to her since she has demonstrated her knowledge and her attention to detail.

I've used TurboTax Online for several years and have always trusted it to get us the right answer…read more This year, after several life changes (getting married, buying a house, etc.) I just didn't believe TurboTax (or didn't want to since it was saying I owed a significant amount). After reading these reviews, my wife and I decided to have Kristin do our taxes in hopes that she could review our taxes and provide tax guidance for future years. Here are the interactions that transpired: 3/23 - My wife contacts Kristin, tells her our situation and sets up an appointment. 3/26 - We meet Kristin at our first appointment. We bring all the paperwork we believe will be needed, and I explain that I've already done our taxes on TurboTax and provide her with the estimates to compare to. At this point, Kristin says she should have our taxes completed by 3/31 at the latest. Given that it's already 3/26, we're elated to find out she'll be able to get it done so quickly. 3/26 - Kristin emails us asking for a few other pieces that she needs to complete our return. We email her back the same night with all the documentation. 4/4 - Having not heard from Kristin, I call the office and leave a message asking what the status of our return is. Jonathan from Kristin's office calls us back saying she's running a little behind and our return should be completed by 4/6. 4/8 - Kristin emails asking for one more piece of information. We had already provided it at the consultation on 3/26; nonetheless, I respond immediately with what she needs. 4/11 - Feeling a sense of urgency with 4/15 looming, I call Kristin's office again to find out if they've completed our return. 4/13 - Jonathan emails us saying our return is almost finished. He says she doesn't want to speed through the return so she'll be filing an extension today and asks for one more piece of information. I get right back to him with the info they need. I still don't know how much I owe and payments are supposed to be submitted with extensions ... 4/15 - Kristin emails our payment vouchers. She then tells me the electronic filing of the extension is failing because of my wife's info. She says she'll try it again and worst case will mail the extension. I have to rush to get the money together and mail a check off to the IRS. Ridiculous. Between 4/15 and 5/28 I called 3 times to figure out if she had completed our return. 3 times! The last time I say we just want our stuff back and I'll file myself. 5/28 - Kristin emails us saying they had problems with their voicemail system. She says she understands our frustration and we're welcome to take our stuff and file through some other means. This whole thing was ridiculous. Why did she take us if she didn't think she could finish. Why did she keep promising it would be done each weekend? Why did they wait until the 15th and make me run around? Why were we the people calling her? Wouldn't she be expected to complete the review in 1.5 months after the filing date? There were no apologies or attempts to rectify the situation. She basically made us spin our wheels for months and didn't provide any service at all. If you can't trust your accountant to be thorough and punctual, how can you trust them to do your taxes? I would never recommend her over TurboTax. Oh and by the way, TurboTax only costs $80.
