I really have to tip my hat to Lesley Saxon of Saxon's Bookkeeping. I stumbled upon her profile on…read moreYelp near the deadline for my personal taxes and overdue on my business taxes. Turbo Tax had given me the runaround and passed me from one tax preparer to the next for a month if not longer, only to finally inform me that they could not prepare my returns. They said it was because I would not pass their quality process check or something to that effect, due to my books not being in the best order. Fortunately, they filed an extension on my behalf. I took that opportunity to seek help elsewhere. That's where Lesley came in. She's all about business, thorough, communicative, expressing exactly what she needed, via email and phone conversation when necessary. I initially thought Saxon's Bookkeeping was a startup business because her profile bio and makeup lacked what I normally see in business profiles from which I acquired services. But what she said in her bio drew my attention. She referenced how other CPAs charge an arm and a leg for their services and she was absolutely right. Her rates, however, were very reasonable, an obvious a selling point. Initially, I'd just planned to have her clean up my books. But when she offered to do my taxes as well and at such a reasonable rate, I couldn't refuse. To make a long story short, she cleaned up my books for my business in which I partner with other members. She cleaned up my books for my sole owned business. And she prepared the tax returns for both, as well, as for me personally. This was all at a rate much less than her competitors, including Turbo Tax. Now, I'm not the most savvy when it comes to this kind of thing. So, if at some point down the road I get audited, this review will obviously change. But for now, as far as I can tell, excellent work! I highly recommend Saxon's Bookkeeping for your financial organizational needs. Thanks Lesley!

On 4 June of 2018 I received a letter from the IRS that they would seize my personal property for…read moreunpaid taxes around $1550. Knowing I had paid everything full and on time with confirmation, I immediately called Brawe's office to see what had happened. I called the IRS that day to see what the penalties were for and they said it was because they had not received my extension so I was being assessed a late fee. I called Brawe back and let them know. Called them back at the end of the day to get an update. It turns out someone in the office had neglected to send the extension or the system they used to send it somehow glitched and neglected to send the extensionn on time. They were supposed to call me back with updates on how they would fix it. I did not receive a phone call or any followup communication for a week, though I called every single day and left messages. Panicked that they were blowing me off after trying to reach them for a full week, I paid the amount and thought we could sort it out later without it accruing further interest or going to collections. Tues June 12-I finally got ahold of someone who informed me that they had all been out sick. This sounded fishy that no one was answering phones or had even bothered to update the VM to reflect they would be out of office for a week. They had me send over notices. 10 days go by no updates.... Friday June 22nd- Checked back with M to see if there were any updates. She said she would ask Keith again and get back with me, but it wouldn't be until Monday afternoon. Tues June 26th- I check in again since I have not heard anything and M says Keith has sent in an 8821 and it will take 6-8 weeks for a response from the IRS. Thur June 28th- M lets me know they need an 8821 for my spouse (weird since this was a joint return and should have been asked for at the same time as mine) Tues Sep 11th- It is now 11 weeks and I still have not received a response from the IRS so I email Brawe and ask them if there are any updates since I have not received a response. Received no response Called sometime between Sep & Oct to see if I needed to do anything or if they needed to follow up since it had been more than 6-8 weeks and was told it sometimes takes 8-10 weeks Wed Nov 14- Emailed again to see if they needed to follow up or anything since it has been 8-10 weeks since they told me they responded on my behalf. Mid January 2019- I have consulted with 2 separate CPA's about my situation and they told me I should have received correspondence from the IRS by now. I called and spoke with Keith who told me the opposite. He told me the IRS can take MONTHS to get back on these things. He told me he doesn't know why anyone in his office would have given me these time frames, though I have the emails to show they did and why would they do that without his direction? When I asked if he would follow up with the IRS for me he said he could not call them on my behalf. This is utter BS since my current accountant had literally 3 way called me with the IRS about another matter using that 8821 he had me fill out. I told him this and he said "oh yeah, the 8821, well call them and tell me what you find out" *In case you have never done this before, the IRS can have you on hold for one hour or more before you can speak to a rep. I am beyond upset at this point because I paid my hard earned money to this person to not do the job and now they are gaslighting me and telling me to take care of it. Feb 28- I receive a collections letter from the Oklahoma Tax Commission. I have never been late on a bill in my life so I panic knowing that this is also tied up with Brawe. I leave a voice message with Brawe letting them know and that I still have not received that IRS followup letter. Mar 1- Call OTC and they inform me that this late fee was assessed due to a late return and that extensions do not mean you can pay late. They were also sending late notices to the wrong address. That's right. Their office got my address transposed by one number so I received no notices. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here and own that maybe it was my mistake. HOWEVER... I called my new accountant and they told me that anytime they file an extension for a client they give them an estimate of the amount they will owe so that it can be paid on time so this does not happen. I was never given this estimate so this penalty and interest that is now in collections was never supposed to have happened in the first place.
