Patrick put the wrong PIN on my 2018 IL-1040 for Property Tax Credit. He used my income property…read morePIN, instead of my principal residence. There should have been no confusion as I sold my income property and had all those documents separated for him. However, as a result, I received a return correction notice zeroing out my $600+ credit. I called Patrick to correct his mistake and he directed me to work with the Dept. of Revenue directly to provide what they are looking for. Now, they are saying I can only claim part of the credit because I bought the house in 2017. Reading online, it looks like I'm eligible for the credit on my sold property too. 6 months later, I still need to submit new documents and figure this out myself. Isn't that what I paid him for? By the time this is over, I will have spent countless hours on this over 8-10 months to fix his simple mistake. I think he knows what he's doing but he is working too fast and is prone to mistakes as a result. Then you're on your own to fix his mistakes.

This resulted in me owing the government a large sum of money so I decided to use a professional tax accountant. I quoted H&R Block and several other tax accountants and decided to use Millennial Tax. Jose Quiroz was the first to get back to me and also his price was very reasonable. I could not be happier. Jose at Millennial Tax was excellent in preparing my returns. He met with me and my wife and went through each section of the return and explained the options to save us money. His very reasonable fee more than paid for itself and he saved me over $1,000 compared to Turbo Tax. He also gave me insights regarding savings for my future returns. I highly recommend Millennial for your tax needs and I of course will use them again in the future..

The issue had been lingering since 2020 (2019 tax year). We tried numerous CPA firms and tax accountants. A few claimed they could help ultimately at significant cost to us, many told us to "forget about it". Last fall we decided this was a job for a tax attorney. I read reviews from every possible source trying to find a tax attorney with good reviews. Michael Raff's reviews were 100% great. I was suspicious of that many great reviews. I concluded that there were too many and too varied for the feedback to be fake. Not only that, he has a transparent and meticulous process for the way he bills and updates clients. Others before him pledged to keep us informed but only Michael proactively phoned us (and followed up with an e-mail) at the end of every month. The minimal retainer he asked for in order to work on this problem is still not used up. Michael was able to retrieve the money from the original error in LESS THAN SIX MONTHS, where other large, expensive firms had failed us for OVER 5 YEARS. He is still planning to retrieve money from the IRS on our behalf for the error adjacent money. We assumed he was a specialist only and worked as a dedicated tax attorney. Michael also does regualar tax preparation. It did not take much convincing to for us to engage him as our accountant. If you want an acccountant who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and ethical, I think you would be hard pressed to find someone more skilled than Michael Raff.

He didn't even introduce himself, ask my name, my fiancé's and he was not interested in anything we had to say. He called us in, didn't even walk us to his cubicle, no introduction , his face showed how annoyed he was, he was so passive and kept asking about how much I was comfortable spending as if I couldn't afford to get my taxes done by them. The vibe from the beginning was off and I did everything I could to get out of there. I took all of papers, my ID and ran. Never coming back and do NOT recommend. Made me feel like I wasn't good enough to be there despite being a homeowner at 22, working full time and getting married next year. PASS!!
