The Worst Tax Preparer Reviews

Very bad experience, it’s a scam only Teresa is very unprofessional they are taking your money and after that they pretend to be always for sometimes, very rude team they took my money then they blocked me . I don’t recommend them.

I was very disappointed with this tax preparer's service. I paid her team to correct my tax return, but they made mistakes that caused me to receive collection letters from the IRS and required me to visit the IRS multiple times, wasting a lot of my time and energy. After confirming it was their error, she refused to fix it unless I paid again. Therefore, I do not recommend her services.

We have used Brenda for years and have been very pleased up until this year. We dropped our business tax documents off in april and have gotten the run around ever since. She wont return phone calls and hangs up when we call. Never at her office. We want our documents back so we can take them elsewhere to be filed.

Whaley & Associates. Meaghan, worst possible person we could have chosen to work with for our business taxes. We should have looked up reviews from other websites as well as google about her. Clearly she has done this to other clients as well. Asked for help with our taxes back on April 30th 2024. Gave her all of our paperwork. Everything she asked for. Emailed the stuff we forgot to provide in paperwork form. So everything is all ready. As far as I know. So she tells my husband and I, they just lost someone at their offices and may need an extra month or two. But she will hurry best she can. Should be done by July 1st at the latest.. I wait until July rolls around. I don't hear anything. By July 10th I send out an email and I ask Meaghan if there's any information she's missing, if everything got filed, how everything is going and what's happening. I hear nothing. I then call. I get an answer and she says, oh I wanted to tell you I've been working on your taxes with our intern, I want to have a conference call with you and your husband. She doesn't tell me when, just tells me she will call me. She never calls. I send an email August 26th asking about said conderence call again. Never receive an email back. I have called. July 23, September 17th, and now today Sept 25. I have left voicemails EVERY SINGLE TIME. To please return my calls or email me and please let me know what is happening.I have not once heard back from her. This has been 6 months of trying to work with someone who is supposed to be a professional. That has dodged phone calls and emails. Someone who has personal financial information and doesn't do the job they say they will do. If you are smart you will look around and find someone else to go to. She isn't worth your time. She is definitely not worth the stress you deal with not knowing if your taxes have been filed!! This is absolutely what poor work ethic looks like.

I hired Charles McGriff on April 8th, 2024 after he called me and made me aware that I had a pending levy on me. I owe IRS back taxed from 2019 to 2021 and it is a large amount. He told me what he could do to help me, gave me a price of $5,000 then later that day changed it to $5,575 and said he could have the levy held and work out a payment agreement with them before they can enforce it. Weeks are going by I think he's working on it and I called the IRS agent in charge of my case to find out what's going on and she said she have no one on record to be my power of attorney in which I send and signed the form and returned it to him with the payment the next day with a $3,000 deposit. I paid the balance 2 weeks later. I contact him right away and he's saying that he sent them the info and he never did. We are going back and forth with him saying he's sent over everything, and I'm check with the IRS agent and she never heard from him. Now May 28th come around a month and a half later and my bank accounts are frozen, and they took the $13,000 that was in my accounts at the time which left me in financial ruin. I contact him and he's now saying he's going to the courts to do an appeal and he would've never had to do any of that if he was in contact with the IRS agent and sending her what she needed so we can negotiate a payment plan in the first place. I end up putting in the appeals for myself and dealing with the IRS agent myself and still she doesn't have any record of power of attorney from him on my behalf because he had no intentions of working on my case, he just wanted the money, and he did nothing. Now I can't afford to pay a real tax company to help me because he got paid for nothing, and they took my money I had left in my accounts. Charles Mcgriff has numerous other clients on this website complaining that he's ripped them off just like myself and I'm just finding out this about a month ago he needs to me investigated.

This CPA is FRAUD! NEVER EVER refer to this person! She does not do her work honestly, demands money for undone work, she lies and is not professional at all! She could not submit even simple tax form for LLC that caused the penalty for thousands dollars!

DO NOT do business with this lady or place of her employment. They are dishonest and will scam your refunds and will not admit they are at fault. This place is quick to take your money and will disappear when there are issues, leaving you to do the leg work with the IRS and learning about their deceits. Her ex-husband was sanctioned and not allowed to prepare taxes and she has her son helping her. I am sure they both learned a few tricks from him and using their scheme to scam and benefits from their patrons. I have filed for legal actions and again, this women is no help and nonexistence other than a phone call from her son threatening me after I wrote a bad review based my experience. I am sure I am not her first victim and others are afraid to come forward from the non-speaking Asian community.

Richard Monfee has been doing my taxes for many years. He does not keep up with current tax laws as i had to do that research for him. He also does taxes for strippers and hookers in exchange for sexual favors. So if you are looking for someone willing to commit tax fraud he is your guy!!! It just will cost you more than money!

Do NOT hire Alexandra. Working with her has been the worst experience of my entire professional life. I'm still trying undo the damage she has done to my business in terms of IRS tax status, lack of tax filings, and various other accounting related debacles.

Tax professional is FAR from what this woman is. As everyone else has stated she’s a SCAM. In January 2023 I sent her all of the information that was needed to prepare my return. After texting and emailing her daily requesting a copy of my return I was left with no answer every time. By June she still had not filed my return. Mind you she had been paid for this service that was assumed to have been completed when she said it was. She mentioned the amount I should be looking to get back. I recently, August 2024, received a letter in the mail from the IRS stating I owed $7,000 which I was NEVER aware of. Now having to pay another accountant to review what she had provided to me, she never even filed my NY State taxes and she also claimed false information on my return. But again I was never able to review them because SHE NEVER SENT IT. When it was eventually sent she didn’t send them in their entirety.

She’s a fraud! She over charges, adds false information to you tax for to get you “more” money and never actually send your taxes off. Not to mention she never uses her PTIN #. She will not answer your calls, won’t return your money nor a phone call. She simply turns her phone off. I reported he to the IRS, but something can only be done if more people come forward and report her also.

After filing my taxes with Christian Mendoza had to pay the IRS over 4K because of his mistake. After asking for help about this he refused to help and stop answering my calls. Please do not file your taxes with this guy or anyone in Global Tax & Accounting Group or any of his companies. I wish I had search for reviews before I went there, he has multiple negative reviews in different sites.

I took him my taxes 3 years ago still haven’t got them back and won’t reply to any of my messages so don’t count on this guy for any help

She filed my taxes since 2018. She put different tax credits on my return that I did not ask for. Have proof and messages t show. After viewing my transcripts I filed a fraudulent complaint with the IRS. She did not want to fix my taxes for her mistake.

This guy never returned my phone calls or emails and I recently found out he never filed my taxes from 3 years ago let alone the last 2 years, please be careful who you get to do your taxes.

In 2021, I was referred to Melissa Westergard Inc., and by 2022, my entire business was devastated due to her lack of expertise as a CPA. This unfortunate situation led to my filing for bankruptcy, yet she continued to expect payment for services that were never fully rendered. As a result, I filed a motion in bankruptcy court to sanction her and successfully won the judgment against her. If you are experiencing similar issues, as many of her clients unfortunately have, I strongly encourage you to reach out to the CPA boards in Utah, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Despite several complaints, these boards have not yet taken action to revoke her license. Nonetheless, it is crucial to file your complaint and share your experience here. The more documented evidence there is, the more likely it is that these boards will be compelled to take decisive action. Additionally, I have found that sharing these reviews helps raise awareness and can unite those who have been affected. By coming together, we may achieve a broader resolution and corrective action. For those considering similar legal measures, feel free to reach out to me. I have no problem sharing my legal case won against her. In hopes that it can help you seek corrective measures against her.

Benjamin G Harbor Jr. has a judgment lien for failing to pay my civil judgment. He's had multiple businesses suspended by Franchise Tax Board. He's been sued multiple times and it's hard to tell if he ever paid. Based on the Contra Costa records, he had a few liens. Also, per county records, his wife has a "tax" lien filed, then the house went up for sale one month later. I wouldn't trust Harbor farther than I can throw him.

Terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible person to get a hold of I've been trying for about 6 months he will not answer any of my calls or 99% of the time his phone is full no messages and if he does check his messages and you know he does when he clears out his phone he will never get back with you the scary part is he has all your paperwork and everything and you need questions about your taxes and you'll never get an answer you don't know if they are done or not if you owe or not if there was a penalty or not and then this person has all your paperwork I am the daughter of trying to help my elderly father because my father always had him for years and years and years and years but I am so angry and I mean angry at this person that doesn't want to take the time and treat his clients decent enough to give a call back. I tried to be kind I try to be nice I try to say I understand you're busy I understand the IRS is hard to do but you would think he would call you cuz I worry and worry and worry do not my own opinion this is my opinion and make sure you look at other people's opinions of what they say about how they were treated

When I got a fine for underpayment from the state of Indiana Department of Revenue I reached out to her and she said she would look into it and get back to me. She never did. She's not responsive to emails and her voicemail box is usually full so you can even leave a message. I had asked her if I should make an estimated tax payment last year in she told me not to. She will never be doing my taxes again.

Just found he scammed my mom for thousands of dollars!
