I had a consultation with Howard on Jan. 9. During the consult, I let him know of all the different…read morefiling that we would need to have done. He said that he could do it and gave us a link to upload all our tax forms. We uploaded all of them, except for one, and were in consistent communication with him. On March 12, Howard emailed us out of the blue telling us that he could not handle our tax return and to go to a larger CPA practice. He should have informed us of this back in January as he had received the majority of our forms. Waiting till almost a month before the tax deadline is unprofessional and negligent.
