Not going to lie - This is my 1st year using an actual accountant for my taxes. I ALMOST used TurboTax again, but something about last year's tax return kind of miffed me. So instead I used my Boss's accountant! Thanks Boss! :D
NOTE: I've only done my taxes independently for 2 years since I graduated from college back in Dec 2012. I highly recommend for all professionals to come to Harless. They will help you lots. Esp if your past taxes were horribly done in the past... Cough TurboTax
Make sure when you go in to bring everything. Tax returns, w2s, car register forms, house mortgage paperwork, and etc. If in doubt, bring it! I did. I had a big bag full of paperwork. BRING EVERYTHING. It'll save you trips to back to the accountant I'm sure.
As for how to get here... Ok - so I got lost, but thankfully Deborah (Office Admin) was in early and helped me via phone. Google Maps will take you NEAR Harless & Assoc, but not exactly at it. Instead of taking Buckhead Ave, you should park in the parking deck of 1 Buckhead Plaza. When you park, take the elevator to Level 4. Once you get off that elevator, walk across to the plaza and take that elevator to Level 18.
Not sure about you guys, but Buckhead can confuse me so much. :(
I had Steven Haupt for my tax preparer. Very personable & professional. He did damage control & fixed everything that was a mistake on my paperwork. He also asked every question in the book when it came down to it. Questions I had no idea that were useful for my w2s, ha.
He even printed up everything we talked about during our session. My memory sucks sometimes, so it's nice to get a few pieces of paper as reminders.
Don't forget to get parking validation!..... and to make sure to get back to your car by the 2 hour mark; otherwise, you will get towed.
Safe to say, if I ever get audited, Harless & Assoc will beat whoever it is with a stick that's made up of paperwork :) read more
