NOTE: Please Don't be offended if you Like this Place, this is just MY EXPERIENCE with them.
OK I have absolutely HAD IT with our tax Place. We have gone there 5 years now. NEVER EVER do they return calls, emails, OR ANSWER the simple questions I leave notes on when I turn IN our taxes to be completed! I AM THE STUPID ONE I SEE THIS!! for letting us use them this long!!! Grrrr!!
So now is the last straw. I get a letter from the IRS saying that our property tax was not calculated right, and they used bad information when filing it. REALLY??? thats WHY I pay them $350 OUTRAGEOUS dollars so its ALL Done right, and I have NO Headaches. Well, obviously it IS a BIG Headache, and it stresses me out, because I have a home business. I really feel the need to put them out on Blast here, since I don't Facebook Etc, you momma's are what I have! AFS Tax Savers Services in Livonia at Ann Arbor Rd & Ann Arbor Trail. They are NOT GOOD! And they will Fleece your Money from you for not good service.
If you can at all recommend a place that you have had good service, Oh Heck, I would love to do tax business with a fellow Christian if possible, then please Do recommend them to us! We thank YOU greatly for that! =) can be in Livonia, Westland, Dearborn, Redford, Southfield. Close to there. =) TY
I totally understand that turbo tax is easy and there is many websites etc. i just cant deal with that, and DO Consider it to be $ well spent and NO Headache of having that on my plate to do, So I greatly DO Thank you for the advice to use Turbo or Self stuff, etc. But truly friends, i am looking to you all for a real human being to pass this yearly project off to, but know its in good hands with someone who cares about us, and that $ they earn for doing it, so it is Equally important to them. =)
Gerald Brenner, CPA. Accountant on Grand River? in Farmington or Farmington Hills. Been going there now for at least 5 years. Good guy.
TaxAct.com only $14.95 and all online.
the IRS website has links for free federal filing and turbo tax is free for state taxes. i really like turbo tax as it walks you thru the process.
S. J. Stem and Associates at Merriman and Schoolcraft. The number is ###-###-####. I work there, we are a small firm and care about all of our clients. Our rates are solid and the service is impeccable.
I want to add that we are not just tax people, we are a tax and accounting office, and share space with a full service payroll company. Both are owned by the owner of S.J. Stem and Associates. If you call us, mention to the receptionist mamapedia and we'll make sure to apply a $20 coupon to your invoice.
My horror story. As one time Amway distributors my late hubby and I got the name of a CPA in Dearborn Hgts. to do our taxes, as they were business. EVERY year, he'd file for an extention. Never fail. I didn't like it. I figured IRS would wonder why we filed late every year. So what happened last year? Hubby took our stuff down to this clown. Hubby passes away. His business taxes AND our personal taxes have to be done. They didn't get done till OCTOBER! Talk about an extention! We had called time and again for him to call us back on matters. Zip, zip, zip. Nothing. FINALLY the twit does return a call after I called down there with plenty of attitude and being ticked off. Oh the poor dear was suffering anxiety and panic attacks. I am SORRY but a phone call is still possible, or better yet, delegate our taxes to someone else so WE don't suffer the consequences. Let's face it, IRS is not the friendliest and understanding. Now this guy, who we're stuck with for this year's too, gets all huffy that just because my late hubby didn't have a problem with extentions, why do I. And my paperwork was mailed to his office with a signed slip at receipt and all of a sudden he can't find it, and then it's right in front of his nose?
Sorry I can't recommend a good place, but DON'T go to Arvegian in DBN HGTS.
Do you know anyone else that has a business that you can get a recommendation from? You need an actual accountant not a tax service co. I have found that tax service co are more expensive than an actual accountant. Do you have a church you attend, ask them, they use accountants that have to know the tax laws.
I have been going to E&K Tax services on Ecorse in Taylor
I know it is a little farer than you wanted to go. But I work in Troy Long Lake between Cooliage and Crooks. They are not a tax service only they are also accountant. It is called Gordon Advisor and I only hear great things about them.
Good Luck in your search. Like one of the other poster stated, I think it would be wiser to do an accountant/tax service.
