I have been stressing out over my 2018 taxes way before 2018 was even over. LOL.. It was my first…read moreyear of electing as an S-Corp. Majority of my income was coming in under my business with no taxes being deducted so I knew I had to pay. I was pretty sure i was going to owe like 10k :( .. I chose OG bc of the great reviews (thanks yelp!) Before going in I was actually nervous and a bit ashamed bc as an adult I have know idea about taxes yet I decided to elect as an S-Corp lol. Then I finally came in & was seen by Eli. Here are some highlights of my experience: Eli is very knowledgable and is able to explain everything easily so that people like me who feel like taxes are a foreign language can understand. I came in assuming I was going to owe so much bc I had no idea what I was doing or how taxes even worked.. but Eli answered all of my questions with patience even though I know I was probably asking the same question over & over lol. Now for 2019 I will not be stressed! Eli also shed some light on things I had no idea about like how putting money in an IRA can really help to save on how much I owe in taxes, and how I need to go ahead & pay estimated taxes twice a year, and other business related matters that as business owner i needed to know & did NOT beforehand. Before your appointment they give you this great "tax planner".. it pretty much lists out everything that you can & should be writing off on your taxes & allows you to put in the totals. This was so helpful.. it really helps you organize everything. I called with a question & was quickly directed to Eli which was nice bc I thought I was going to have to email or wait for a call back, etc.. Jane at the front desk is also very helpful, polite & accommodating. Overall, I highly recommend. Especially if you have no idea what you're doing bc I know I cant be the only one. I left feeling so much better & at ease after it was all over.

***Warning!! Louis A. Cannizzaro is NOT a CPA (certified public accountant)!!! Despite his firm…read more"CPA Advisory Group," Mr. Cannizzaro is only a tax preparer. This is extremely misleading. In New Jersey anyone can become a tax preparer with just a $20 IRS PTIN - no education, no test, no license needed. A true CPA must complete 150 college credits, pass a 16 hour exam, complete a year of supervised training, and pass an ethics course I mistakenly assumed Lou was a CPA based on the firm's name. Unfortunately that mistake cost me: * He made THREE major errors on my return (all later confirmed by an actual CPA). * It took nearly a month for them to even acknowledge my first email. * I had to research tax code myself and feed it back to them to prove their mistakes. * When I finally spoke to his daughter, Michelle (who was working on my return despite my appointment being with Lou), she became aggravated and hung up on me. * His office stalled me for five months and then refused to amend my return despite their mistakes. * Friends who referred me are also having problems with their return. Yes, his rates may be lower, but you truly "get what you pay for" - or worse, you pay more later to have a real CPA fix the errors. ***Check the NJ division of Consumer Affairs and CPAverify.org to confirm credentials. Don't make the same mistake that I did.
