Very unprofessional. I informed Ted I had an operation scheduled for June 10, 2025, and this was…read morethe first week in April 2025, and I knew I needed to file an extension. I wound up filing an extension for myself. Further, only today, at the last minute, does he send me the return he prepared with several errors, such as a wrong address, an address no prior accountant has ever used for the return. He keeps making excuses for all his errors and even tries blaming a prior accountant for his incompetence, such as the necessity of including a balance sheet. A balance sheet is not required by the IRS. He pays no attention to details and only skims the information you send him. It got to the point where I had to terminate him, and I will need to hire a different (competent) accountant to do the returns. Avoid like the plague. Reply: With the number of errors you made, you have no basis to charge for anything. First, many statements you made are factually incorrect. The LLC does not and has never had over 250k in assets. As noted, with over 40 years of tax returns filed, not one prior accountant ever used an incorrect address, not one, only you. Second, it was clear you constantly made errors, never reviewed the entire information, as I had to keep sending you emails to correct and supplement the information you entered. It was very apparent I would never use your services again or recommend you, and you saw that coming and cut bait. It is clear you have had this problem with previous clients, and it is not new to you. Just look at the 2018 review.

My background as a C.P.A. and former IRS attorney, along with over a 30-year legal career, complements my "straight talk" and strong technical analysis in leading clients through the estate planning, trust administration and estate tax maze. I've been practicing law since 1983 and hold a C.P.A. license from the State of Illinois. In 1993 I started my own law firm specializing in probate, estate planning, asset protection and trust administration in Lake Forest, Illinois, which is where I also live. I have a Masters degree in taxation from Georgetown University Law Center (L.L.M. Tax - 1983) and twin degrees from the University of Detroit (J.D. - 1982; B.S. Accounting, magna cum laude - 1979). I began my legal career in 1983 in the IRS National Office, as an IRS Attorney in the IRS Office of Chief Counsel, Washington, D.C. This is where I began my career as a trust lawyer and developed a sophisticated knowledge of the Internal Revenue Code and the workings of the IRS.
