I attempted to have my taxes done by Meier Consulting last month. When I submitted my return, I did fail to include 2 forms. Also when my return was completed, Meier Consulting also failed to include a 1099 form that I did submit with all of the initial forms. I tried reaching out to them via phone, voicemail, and email multiple times, and they are not good at all about getting back with you. About 2 weeks after submitting the 2 forms that I failed to include initially for them to file an amended return, I was finally advised that the return was now complete. Again the return was not completed correctly. I again reached out to them multiple times requesting a full refund, as at this point I was completely frustrated at the lack of communication on their part and the poor service I had received from them. At that point, they did agree to mail me a check for a full refund. After about 2 weeks, I emailed them again because I had not received the refund check. I was then lied to by Kurt Meier when he told me that the check had been mailed 2 weeks prior. About 5 days later, I received the refund check. At this point I had already filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau because of the lack of communication on their part. I did find it interesting though that the envelope containing the refund check I received was postmarked days before I received it. If he had actually mailed the check when he told me he did, the post marked date would have been about 2 weeks prior. Also, I am definitely not a proponent of mask wearing. But outside his business, there is a sign saying that masks are required inside the business. But as we walked up to enter his business pick up our tax return, Kurt greeted us at the door and said we could take off our masks, that he only has that sign out front to please "Daddy DeWine". Not a great look, if you ask me. So if its not clear enough already, I definitely do NOT recommend Kurt Meier or Meier consulting at all. I don't appreciate being lied to, and receiving poor service.

Mr Atikur Rahman was my to-go tax accountant. Until 2020 when I filed my 2019 taxes. Then I had to change to someone but then again had even a worse experience. So I contacted Mr Atikur Rahman to file my 2019 taxes. So for covid restrictions I was told to send my w2s through email. And he asked me to send him his payment through the app Zelle (I have the receipt). Then tried calling him alotta times and I got a hold of him and I asked him that if he filed my taxes and if not I would like the refund , so I can go someplace else. Then Mr Atikur replied "if you want I'll refund twice the money back you gave me". Also he said " why you speak to elder like this?" I replied I wasn't being rude or neither I didn't say anything wrong I replied "I just want my taxes filed or money back please that's all I ask for". Atikur Rahmans response was very unprofessional and personal . After sending my w2s and the payment I tried contacting Mr Atikur again by phone and text several times. All he replied that was "be patient" "working" through text. (I have the texts as well). Then he Didn't gave me no updates what was going on or that he filed my taxes or not. Then he never bother contacting or refunding the service pay. And then after 10 days he replied with a screenshot how he wasn't able to file my taxes because it was already submitted by someone else. (I got that screenshot too) . Then after I even requested my money back through the Zelle app for service pay of 60$ I paid him through the app. But never responded back. I wouldn't recommend Mr Atikur to anyone.
