They said they could do a form 709 for me so I had them do my personal return as well. Well the 709 was filed a month late. I left emails and phone messages in the interim, none were ever returned. Update 9/7/25: I get a letter from the IRS saying they need more info for the 709 form. I phone Liberty and they want a copy of the IRS letter, and they'll get right on it (I didn't get a confirmation that they received the copy - paying them a visit tomorrow). I went over the 709 forms again myself and noticed that four pages were NOT EVEN FILLED OUT! Did I mention their fees? Did I mention I'm not going back there?

Sort of disappointed. They were nice enough, but said they would get back to me in a couple days,…read moreand that became 2 weeks. I tried calling, whoever took my message didn't pass it on or someone dropped the ball because I didn't get a callback. I wound up going elsewhere so I could just get done. When I finally got a call back- it was 2 days before I got my tax refund via the other place I used. Liberty- super friendly, just not super fast or responsive on my particular case.

I received wonderful, caring, accurate, financial help from James Fritz CPA…read more My last tax return was done at Waterfront CPA Group after being treated very rudely by a crotchety, old scheduler for H & R Block. Despite being an H&R customer for more than a decade, I was treated like a giant pain when I asked for the specific tax preparer who'd done my taxes the year before. But now I am grateful to that rude old goat because I contacted Waterfront to do them instead. I was able to get an almost immediate appointment with a professional who was friendly and helpful. The taxes were done in less than an hour, by a CPA (rather than simply a "tax preparer.") He accessed every legal deduction and gave me solid advice for next year. I can't believe I've been going to H and R Block for years, getting just adequate service, sometimes grudgingly. James Fritz, in the Silverdale office quickly did my taxes, saved me money, and then charged HALF of what H&R Block has been charging me! My taxes were the same difficulty, the same number of schedules and forms, as every previous year. But now, they were done by a CPA for half the cost! In the future, I will be certain to go to Waterfront CPA group for all of my tax and financial needs.

I utilized waterfront CPA for my taxes because I had complex taxes for 2021. I provided to them…read moreall the required documents to complete my taxes including the W2 that they left off my taxes. (to my fault I should have reviewed their work but that's why I hired them so I didn't have to) well turns out they completely left off a W2 and I owed more in taxes. the IRS hit me with a roughly 1,000 dollar penalty which they "paid" by doing my taxes this year free and refunding my 2021 tax fee. but because of their error I was responsible for a 470 dollar interest fee that they would not cover. so be prepared to review all of their work. if an error happens regardless If it was their fault, you will be responsible for the interest owed because of their error in addition to the tax you owe. I told them I would not have incurred the interest because I would have paid my full tax bill had it been prepared correctly, but they said that was policy. So unless they correct this policy I would look elsewhere for a more reputable company that takes responsibility for errors of their service. Respectfully I typically do not write reviews but because their error cost me an additional cost of almost 500 dollars and the IRS headache I was not a satisfied customer.
