At the time he told me he could help me and communicate to IRS on my behave about my situation so I paid him $750.00 as per his word. Well, he did not help me one bit as promised, he never talked to them, as I had to go somewhere else and pay them too to help me. He refused to give me my money back or any portion of it as I only had a very brief phone call with him maybe 3 minutes to be exact. Not worth $750.00 for 3 minutes of anyone's time. He wouldn't even give me an itemized statement of my money and where and what is what used for I gave him. He gave me no records of my file and what was done. Ya'll need to run somewhere else right now. I feel he took big time advantage of me I'm a retiree senior citizen living on a senior budget and he knew it too. Very surprising to me he could treat me or anyone like this. My opinion he doesn't deserve your business and it's all about the money, well, he'll never get mine or my family & friends and hopefully your's ever again. I'm thankful I have this platform to report the theft I encountered in my situation with Jim F. He never wanted to talk to me about this except to tell me he wasn't giving my money back. Wow so upsetting and disturbing that my retirement monthly pension had to go to him. Shame on you Jim F. You all Please go elsewhere, if he can do this to a Senior citizen with no remorse he can do it to you. Tax season will be here soon. I'd sure go somewhere else. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I try to point out the fraud I got to everyone to help them. Think about it do you really want to support someone like this? It's a big fat NO!!! To me.

I actually called to try and reschedule the appointment since I knew I didn't have all of my information for filing however I was advised I should come in anyway so that I can get a 10% discount My first visit consisted of him putting all of my W2 information in the computer that I had so far and telling me how most likely I'm not going to be able to deduct any work expenses or out of pocket expenses for my clinical supervision for myb licensure ECT. I mean he didn't even ask me all of the expenses that I had? It probably took him a good 5-10 minutes to enter in all my information however his computer was acting up so he was unable to show me flow charts to backup the reasons why I am not able to claim my deductions and was adamant it would not be beneficial for me to itemize. So yes I was probably there for about 45 minutes to an hour but not because he was reviewing any paperwork with me. We decided that we would just end the meeting and that I would submit any additional W-2s that I get since it was still early in the season. After I left I decided to get a second opinion and have someone else review my paperwork so I called the office and told them I didn't want to file with them and if I could pick up the paperwork that he did have on file so far. The secretary told me that I could stop by anytime and pick it up however he charges $100 an hour and that for that visit I would have to pay $114 and if I decide to continue with them of course they would give me a final fee for services. Obviously I'm going to pay the fee and go somewhere else however that is b******* because he literally didn't do anything that I couldn't do by myself! So back to TurboTax I go.... And he charged me an hour? Really? Fucking rip off!! I didn't even get the 10% discount lol...ridiculous, poor business etiquette

I received a referral from a very respected firm in the area! They go over and beyond the call of duty! They review all documents during my consultation time and make sure all documents are present and if not "WHY and What Changed during the Year for the documents not to be in the package." They educate you on the new tax laws and what is considered a right off and what is not a right off. They keep me posted during the whole preparation time, and when the return will be ready for pickup. Also, if you will owe or not owe and why? They are accessible if you call and ask questions during the year or during tax preparation! They have helped me to get my taxes paid online and everything is complete! You don't have to do anything else. I know they will be there for me and they have been. God Bless all of you and the work you do for me Celia Herron

But this morning, after almost 7 months, I finally got my return. I will say that when I contacted Paul directly, he was apologetic about my service and refunded their fee. That is why they get one star. But aside from that this has been the most maddening tax season in almost 20 years of filing taxes. I contacted PIM in early Feb because I am military, wife is self employed, and she also has a W-2 from another state for teaching. Just a bit too complicated for us to do ourselves. I read reviews and PIM seemed to be a great choice. Well after finally getting through (left a couple messages before getting a call back), they scheduled me for an appt 4 weeks later. I was annoyed it was going to take that long, but figured it would be done correctly so its fine. What they dont tell you is that is just a consult appointment. You spend a hour with your tax preparer and then "They add you to the bottom of the pile". So we are already this much into it, and just had to keep going since everywhere else was already swamped. Our preparer, Tara, was respectful, but seemed ill-informed. We had a nanny over the summer and we paid a services to file all our tax paperwork for us. So she just had to add it to the childcare expense. She said she wasn't familiar with how that works and she had to ask someone about it. She also seemed to be confused with some easy stuff like how to file out of state W-2 with residency in another state. We should have cut our losses, but we didn't. We were already too far into it. Now started the first wait. Tara said it would be about 3 weeks. Nope. Almost 6 weeks later and no less than 10 ignored phone calls and multiple ignored emails we got our paperwork for review. Me, not a tax pro, took one look at it and noticed it was WAY off. Like, just simple childcare credit stuff was completely ignored. It was more than $5k less than expected. So I contacted Tara MULTIPLE times before getting a response and shared with her my concerns, and she said "Oh, I guess I can file your nanny expenses in your childcare". You guess? You guess?? I am paying a PROFESSIONAL to do our taxes and she has NO idea what the heck she is doing? And to make matters worse, in the response she said "I also noticed your state return didn't compute right, I have to spend some time figuring that out". So lets recap - not only did she MASSIVELY undercut our return, but she MASSIVELY over claimed our state return. And if I hadn't already been expecting a general number, I would have just said it looks fine and had her file it. Two weeks later, its filed. If all that wasn't enough, I had no idea that who is listed first on the return could impact filing, but guess what, it does. For the first time in our marriage, my wife was listed first for some strange reason. I didn't even notice when I reviewed it, but yup, she was. So because that is a change in how our taxes have been filed for the last 15 years, the IRS froze our return and required identity verification. Which, if you aren't aware, is a complete NIGHTMARE that ended up taking us almost 15 weeks, multiple hours on the phone with the IRS, and multiple hours verifying line by line our previous years returns. And its so nice when the IRS tells you "just make sure you are consistent with primary tax payer in the future to avoid identity verification". Noted. So NO. I do NOT recommend PIM. I may not have a recommendation for a Va Beach service, but I will always have recommendation on who to avoid. PIM. Avoid PIM.
