Even when I didn't understand something and just stared at him with a blank stare he broke it down and made sure I understood the process. He charged me a decent amount for spending 2 hours with him that day. I didn't feel rushed like H and R Block would rush their customers, and why would I pay only $50 for a CD-rom like TaxTurbo, who can't represent you when the IRS decides to look you over? I'm just saying you get what you pay for. Kaazim made sure that we went through all the nooks and crannies of my year, to make sure we maxed out for a full refund!

I regret hiring Meseret. I could have calculated my own returns in less time than it took me to…read moreplead with her (unsuccessfully) to fix the ~$5000 in mistakes she made. The problems all started when I found a mistake she made in our returns, which would have cost us $4000: she hadn't claimed an exemption for us even though I told her we qualified for it. She initially refused to discuss over email, forcing me to come in person where she didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and instead inflicted a confusing lecture about how we couldn't claim it (we can). My impression is that she was not familiar with this common exemption. She seemed pridefully unwilling to admit her mistake. After many more emails in which I pled with her to fix this error detailing the exact form and line, with links to the IRS instructions, she changed her story, implying that I must have had undisclosed IRA transactions and was therefore attempting tax fraud. It seemed like she was not aware that IRA contributions can be made retroactively, and that confused her. I finally provided her with detailed month-by-month IRA account statements showing the exact dates of those transactions from a decade ago, and she relented, and recomputed our returns. As a finale performance, she unnecessarily had us claim the full amount of a lifetime exemption (first-time home buyers'), even though we only needed a portion of it. This would have eliminated our ability to use the remainder in future years (costing us maybe $600-$1000 in the future). When I asked her to fix it, she incorrectly claimed that the exemption can only be used for our first house purchase (false), and she stubbornly inflicted another infuriating lecture upon me. I finally decided to quit wasting my time and file the returns myself. I didn't pay her hundreds of dollars to spend hours trying to educate her while she accuses me of fraud and gives misinformed lecture after lecture. Meseret has a lot of good reviews from people who I'd guess haven't ever double-checked her work before - or maybe those people don't actually exist. Please double-check her work, or better yet don't hire her in the first place. It might be a costly and time-consuming mistake.

If you have stock transactions or even above average than usual complexity to your taxes, steer clear of this guy. He did not account for some of my stock transactions being under an ESPP, so did not adjust the cost basis to reflect this discount. For any accountant I'd expect them to go through the W2 in detail and ask questions, but he did not, catching that you have an ESPP discount reflected on your W2 is 100% something any competent accountant preparing your taxes should catch.
