After my first year with them, I no longer feel the dread of the season or the desire to curl in the fetal position as tax time nears. Beyond knowing I'm getting the best return possible...I've also consistently been impressed with how they embrace technology. From my first year, physically dropping off copies of receipts and w-2s to uploading scanned images to an FTP server, to online form submittle...they're always looking for ways to improve the overall experience. Everything from start to finish can be done online now, even the payment. They are more than smart. They are accessible, friendly, honest and absolutely confidential. They always make time to answer questions...and to make sure the entire process is transparent. It really couldn't be any easier.

Smart Tech 3D Printing

3D PRINTING = SOLUTION FOR UNAVAILABLE PARTS?! I have a 12…read moreyear old Dirt Devil vacuum that needed a part that was no longer available either from Dirt Devil, or any vacuum parts website. So earlier this year, I spoke to Felicia at Smart Tech 3D Printing in Renton. I asked her what it would cost to print off one "air director" for my Dirt Devil "Reaction Fresh D2" Model 110006 vacuum cleaner, as it was missing one of its two air directors. Because they would have to reverse engineer the part using the air director I had, the cost of printing up just that one part was too high. So, I gave them the vacuum cleaner, as otherwise I would have had to scrap it as that part was not available anywhere. I was hoping they would print it up and use it as their own vacuum cleaner in the shop. IN THE "SPIRIT OF PIONEERING"! Long story short, lo and behold, I later spoke to Felicia about a month or two later, and found out that they indeed went ahead and 3-D printed the missing unavailable air director. Since 3d printing unavailable parts for old vacuum cleaners (or any other old thing that would easily otherwise get scrapped) is basically unheard of, and therefore in it's "pioneering days", I told her that I would like to make a YouTube video comparing performance of their 3-D printed part versus an original part. So Felicia let me take the vacuum home to make the comparison video (see "Smart Tech 3D Printing created unavailable part for my Dirt Devil"). The video shows that their 3-D printed air director (see photo) performs about the same as an original Dirt Devil air director. THERE IS BROAD MERIT FOR BRICK AND MORTAR! While I was there, I gave them another assignment to print a much smaller part for a Shark Navigator brush roll. Because this part was much smaller, and easier to design and print, they email invoiced me only $56.05 for the Navigator parts. Their invoice conveniently allowed me to pay via Apple Pay, which was nice! I can't help but think that my making the video re: the Dirt Devil part may have played a role. Anyway, another reason to hire Smart Tech 3D Printing is that they are a brick and mortar operation with a physical shop. Felicia tells me that most 3-D printing operations are over the Internet only. Smart Tech 3D Printing also operates over the Internet, but you also have the option of coming to their shop, now located (they just moved) at 138 S. 3rd Pl. in Renton WA, just across the street from McLendon hardware. Unfortunately, this option is getting rarer and rarer. BTW, street parking is easily available right in front of the shop.

Wow! Charles Grass is unbelievably unscrupulous. Worse yet, he bullies and discriminates against…read moregood people such as women, colored people, and the disabled. Upon first meeting, he misrepresented himself and his fraudulent services. I should have seen the red flags from the beginning when he spoke rather condescendingly to me. I'm a disabled man so I missed many other initial cues. He took advantage of me as a disabled person. That's discrimination. My sister, who had used him separately, had also been swindled by this man. She too had spoken about his condescending manner. Again, this is bigotry. To our detriment, we trusted him with basic taxes. Keep in mind that I said "basic". What a huge mistake. He "nickel and dimed" us with many unauthorized charges. This "nickel and diming" added up to be in the thousands of dollars. He hadn't attempted any communication during this process. When done, his charge was in the thousands of dollars. He charged more for swindling me than I saved in taxes. This is either bigotry or gross incompetence. Either way, it's unacceptable. When I confronted him over the phone, all he had was a pile of excuses a mile high. He then resorted to verbal bullying and condescension. Can you believe that. Mr Grass resorted to bullying a disabled man when confronted with his fraud. This man is incompetent and a bigot. I cannot recommend this crook for any reason.

UPDATE APRIL 23, 2023:…read more BETTER LATE THAN NEVER/ SELF-EMPLOYMENT SHAFT In my original review, I said "more on that later" re: my original estimate for my 2018 taxes being $1580, but the actual damage was $655 ($925 less!). I failed to say that that's because I had no more "self-employed" paper route. (side note: newspaper delivery is still legally classified as "self-employment", but it's actually "employee without employee rights") The point is, if you are self-employed, the tax prep fee is going to be higher. INVESTMENTS ALSO WILL DING YA In this update, I would like to say that my 2019 tax prep fee was $885. The $230 uptick in fees(from $655 in 2018) was probably because that was the year I did my first investment rollover. If you have investments (IRAs, annuities, 401ks,etc.), your tax prep fee will be higher for that as well (especially if you have a slush fund...;). Therefore pay no attention to these outfits that offer to do your taxes for "free." That's only for people with simple tax returns with no self-employment, no investments, no property holdings, or any other complicated financial scenario that could give your accountant headaches! DID COVID "STAY HOME" ORDER GIVE PEOPLE TIME TO DO THEIR OWN TAXES? My 2020 tax prep fee went down again to $540 (a $345 downtick from 2019) possibly related to the initial two week COVID-19 WA state "stay home" order from March 23, 2020, which was extended to May 31, 2020. The 2021 fee was an identical $540 (COVID lag?) But starting this year with the 2022 taxes the tax prep package recommended sending in 1/2 the amount I paid for the 2021 taxes ($540/2 = $270) as an advance deposit. So I sent them the $270 deposit. But when the taxes were ready, I looked at my 2022 printed copy, which showed their fee charges failed to take into account the $270 deposit I already paid. They corrected that when I brought it to their attention. But the total fee still owing was $405. So $405 plus $270 already paid = $675. Why the $135 uptick from the $540 charged in 2021 and 2020? I was told that that their rates were going up. Perhaps the somewhat improved economy since 2020 took away the luxury of time at home to do one's own taxes, and instead allow people the luxury of paying accountants to do their taxes.
