I had already done a lot of the work myself with the IRS and my gut was just not comfortable with what they were saying to me. I had also done enough research that I knew they were probably overpromising what they could do. So I looked up local top tax firms and found the The Tax Defenders. After speaking with Beth, who answered the phone, she told me Joe would be calling me back (yes, the owner of the firm). And he did. I walked Joe through what I had done to date and what others were telling me they could do and he told me I was correct. He told me I could hire them to handle what remained to be done, but I could also do it myself. I had already done most the work. He walked me through what to do next with the IRS, including what to say. We were on the phone for about an hour. He told me to call him back if I had questions. I was so pleasantly shocked. I waited on hold for 2 hours and 10mins that night for the IRS to answer and when they did I followed Joe's instructions and worked out a solution. If I ever have a tax situation that requires help in the future, my first and only call will be to the Tax Defenders (and for those review doubters out there I am not AI, I am a real person).

A friend recommended the ACT Group. I was scheduled for an appointment with Dante for last Friday…read moremorning. Thursday evening at 4:50 pm ACT left a VM saying it would have to be rescheduled. While very last minute, these things happen and I agreed. My rescheduled appointment was for 11:30 this morning. ACT called at 10:00 am asking to reschedule for later today. I told ACT I wasn't available later and I was left with the impression the meeting was on. Then at 11:00 as I'm walking out the door, ACT called back and suggested that in lieu of a face to face meeting Dante could call me at 11:30. I asked how that was going to work when he didn't have any of my information - I'd planned to bring papers and a flash drive, as discussed. This made me feel very undervalued as a new customer and frankly had no confidence leaving my financial information in the hands of a Group that couldn't even keep an appointment. The only thing positive I can say is that the person who called me each time, Jessica, was very gracious and apologetic. Unfortunately, she is not the accountant.

My first time ever going there with my dad,mom, sister and myself was a horrible experience all they care about it collecting their money from you and they will never answer the phone or email. They took $400 from my dad and sister just to do their tax return which I thought was ridiculous, anyways we were also told that to wait and pay our taxes that we owe, we would get papers from the mail never did which they lied. And now I've been calling and chasing them and they don't answer. It's disgusting how they just take money from people and not give them back anything. NEVER EVER GOING THERE AGAIN. THE WORST.

We started using Draus and Associates 3 years ago and at first we had a great experience with Nick…read more We appreciated that he was local and overall the price was fair for our taxes. This year would be our 3rd year using Draus and Associates. We received a bill for double the amount we paid 3 years ago. We had less to claim and less work to be done with filling this year. They clearly state on their website that taxes are a FIXED price that both parties are clear about. This is a complete lie. We called for an explanation, and they said "prices go up every year". They took our money for the taxes and then didn't even file for months later. Avoid using this company.

The accountants are all very nice and my parents have worked with all of the accountants there. When I came today, I worked with Pasquale, who was so personable and knowledgeable. Normally I do taxes myself, but this was the first time I paid to get them done and I'm not disappointed that I came here. He did them really fast (especially because I had multiple W-2s and a student loan paper), and he informed me why so many people are getting lower tax returns this year (because the nation is taking less taxes out throughout the year and giving you more in your paycheck). He gave me copies of my tax return and told me how much I will get back before I signed anything. He was so nice because he laughed and said, "If you're happy, then I'm happy!" I was very happy with my return. You can pay for the services here by card or check; however, there is a $5 extra fee for using a card. The office itself is very clean and organized, and there is parking on the street. I didn't have to wait at all because literally no one was getting their taxes done here when I came, so that was nice, but the area where they do the taxes and talk to you is upstairs while the waiting room is downstairs, so you feel some kind of privacy here.

I highly recommend Jim and the firm. M&R Ferber offers A-Z tax filing capabilities for individuals, estates, and trusts. Their web site states they provide business and payroll offerings but this review is limited to my personal tax returns. Jim has a great eye for detail and knows tax law. He's not afraid to say "No!" yet he will also recommend approaches that may suit you, ie accelerate deductions, delay revenues, itemize or take the standard deduction, or change with-holdings. He also prepares "what-if" scenarios. I have a complicated return (variable and non-W2 income, out-of-state etc.) yet his fees are fair & reasonable and completion times FAST! He takes the time to understand you, poses thoughtful questions, and explains process and reasoning. The office provides copies of all your returns for your personal record keeping. M&R Ferber provides coffee and cookies. The offices are clean, comfortable, and filled with tax law and accounting books. The shred bin is visible so there is no doubt they properly dispose of un-needed documents. The parking is free and office easy to find. Suggested improvements: please provide wi-fi while waiting or if we need to access a needed document on-line. Thanks Jim and M&R Ferber, see you next year! Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL
