Looking at the other google reviews, and yelp reviews below, I see we are not. And, don't be confused by Brian Smith's google review. He is the owner's son. Maybe if every employee reviews their firm they would have better reviews? We are W-2 employees, no rental properties, nothing abnormal. We were told $350-$450 for a joint return. After directing Smith and Associates to file as married, but separate, we expected they would maybe charge us $700-$900. We never expected a bill for $1,530. Brian told us we were charged more for many reasons, including that we had a stimulus check from the government during the pandemic. I guess that takes hours to enter. Then, he said other partners had to review the returns, leading to more hours billed. Then, rather than taking our itemized account of our receipts, he asked me to physically bring them in so he could scan them. They charged for that. Then, they said we needed to sign a special document because we had special circumstances, so they charged us an additional $200 for a one page document that they, "Had to do research on." When I asked Diane if any of this is common practice she said it is common practice for returns to be reviewed. I guess they just forget to mention that in their quotes. Keep in mind, at no point in this process did they tell us that our "special circumstances" would lead to a tax bill $630-$830 more than our quote. What's even funnier, they do not have the ability to produce a receipt for my payment. Maybe they don't have the software? I don't know. They said they would only supply a recepit if I paid in cash, and they would have hand-written it. (They only accept check, ACH, or cash). Frankly, this firm is highly unethical. This is one of the worst businesses I have ever worked with in my life. I am also reporting them to the BBB among other remedies.

We contacted Colonial Tax Consultants to investigate open IRS issues. I expected a long sales pitch…read moreand many promises. I spoke with Rick Pearlt, Senior Analyst who was straightforward. There was NO sales pitch, NO promises. Rick asked for pertinent info so he could ascertain IRS' view of the situation. He impressed that he would be back in touch in 2-3 days. He responded with his researched analysis in 2 days, clearly explained his findings. There was no mention of consult fees for the work he performed. When I questioned this, Rick stated he provided info and 'if' i did need tax resolution services down the road that he and Colonial Tax Consultants are here for me! Aside from his invaluable information, I was deeply touched by his sincerity and 'do-the-right-thing' philosophy.

In short, my experience with Colonial Tax Consultants was easy, expertly handled, cost effective,…read moreand highly supportive. In fact, I quickly found everyone there to be highly competent, resourceful, and focused on getting me what I needed. I could actually trust and rely upon each person and every person on the team. CTCtax.com, you certainly live up to your reputation (resolving tax liabilities and ensuring my rights as a taxpayer) and you deliver on your word. What a relief! Say what you will about the hazards of tech and social media, in this case, it paid off! How else would a gal from the West Coast find an amazing tax consultant (in Denver, CO of all places) for a tax issue that had nothing to do with Colorado? Over the years, I've successfully navigated IRS/tax challenges on my own. In fact, I might be one of the few who has actually found the IRS easy to work with - some agents more than others, but overall, a good experience. Well, THAT changed! In 2020, it became nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get through to a human being at the IRS. When I was lucky enough to finally speak with an actual person, I could never resolve my pressing issues or get answers to time-sensitive questions. I was beyond frustrated and needed help. No, in fact, I was done! I just wanted a Super Hero to *handle things* for me! After a bunch of due diligence and online research, I reached out to Colonial Tax Consultants as one possible option. In comparison to the others I called, I felt reassured during my initial conversation with Rick Peart (Senior Consultant). Immediately I had information and with that new-found knowledge came choices. Given my burnout and demands on my time, I opted to hire Colonial Tax and have them take care of things on my behalf. The BEST choice I could have made. In the relatively short time it's taken to resolve my issues, I've gotten to know three of the folks in their office. Since I am out-of-state, I was initially concerned and wanted ONE point of contact. However, working with them as a team has always worked to MY benefit. Here's why - Colonial Tax Consultants is a rare breed. Their internal communication and overall systems must be in great shape, because regardless of who was helping me, everything flowed - always! I never had to repeat myself or get someone else to speed. They were always on top of things and kept me informed. Thanks to Colonial Tax's expertise and follow-through, I'm in the home stretch and on cruise control. In the end, they were able to reach what I felt was a fair agreement with the IRS and work out something sustainable for me. In addition, they found something else that I was NOT expecting and this really helped me out. Bonus! Colonial Tax Consultants... you're doing good work in the world. Thank you ALL for being my Super Heroes!

I could leave zero stars I would. Left my tax documents with Marcus February 22, 2024. I had 30…read moreminute meeting with him discussed I would need a tax return for Utah and Colorado- I would have capitol gains from selling two properties and depreciation recapture. Marcus said no problem would probably cost around $1,000 and he would have them filed by April 15th. Wanting an update I contacted Tanner front desk the last week of March since I hadn't heard from them and left messages 3 different times that week for Marcus to please contact me with estimate of taxes owed (I knew I would owe $40,000 plus to Irs). Marcus never contacted me. All I wanted was a text or an email or a phone call but he couldn't be bothered (no one there could even return a call). Finally less than a week before April 15th my husband called the Tanner receptionist and said we wanted our tax documents back. My husband picked them up that day and all Marcus had to say was for us to file an extension - he hadn't even touched them. Filing the extension would have prevented us from getting the state of Colorado tabor refund of $1,600, which might not sound like much but when you are going to owe over $40,000 every little bit helps. There was no apology he didn't even care. My husband and I had to quickly take our info over to another company who worked very hard to get them filed by April 15th. Whatever you do don't go to Tanner or work with Marcus. They don't care about regular people. I guess we were just small potatoes to them.

We tried a new, local CPA here in Florida and after two years were no better off. My brother recommended his accountant, Scott Wachtel, who he described as exceptional. What can I say? In mere weeks Scott had set straight what the other firms had made so difficult and intimidating. For the first time in years we understand our situation and are finally getting caught up. Scott is an excellent communicator who explains things in such a manner so that we understand what is required, and are able to complete our taxes and get our lives back in order. The stress is gone and we are finally current. We HIGHLY recommend Scott to anyone in need of excellent service in any tax or accounting situation. His work is outstanding.

No. Checking my credit report this year (2013) I found a ding from some credit agency that I'd never heard of...so I called, investigated, etc. Turns out this accountant sent me to collections...even though they had my address, email and phone number!! Why didn't anyone CALL me...or send an email...or mail an invoice?? Instead, they went nuclear. When I found out that I had a balance due, I paid *immediately*--that day. The collection agency has been hell to deal with, and now they're charging me fees for their services. I'm outraged because there shouldn't have been a need for them in the first place! I contacted Bob Ficcas office and they were unhelpful and curt. All told--I'd steer clear of this business. This has been wayyy more trouble than it's worth.
