From the other reviews, I must be the outlier for Chris' tax services, but I could not have had a…read moreworse experience. When I first met with Chris, I advised him that I was looking to hire him to calculate my quarterly taxes and file my 2023 return. Initially, Chris filed for an extension to file my 2023 taxes. Subsequent to filing the extension, I could not get in touch with Chris for months. When I did get a response to an email, it was short and did not address my questions. On September 18, 2024, Chris indicated that he filed my 2023 taxes and sent me a copy. Upon review, Chris filed a fraudulent business return and exposed me personally to a $5.9 million tax liability. Chris never showed me the tax filing, prior to submitting it to the IRS and NJ. After weeks of calling, emailing, texting, and showing up to his locked office; Chris finally answered a text and scheduled a meeting at my office. When he came to my office and met my bookkeeper, he indicated that he had most of what he needs and did not need anything from my bookkeeper. In fact, he did not have anything he needed to amend the 2023 return. When asked about the $5.9 million dollar issue, he said he thinks he duplicated a number and knows that I did not have the amount of sales reflected on my return. Prior to leaving my office, he said he will get the correct information in and be back at my office at 4:15 pm that day. He did not come back and I have not been able to reach him. I have been emailing, texting, and calling.
There is not much more that I could do to warn anyone looking for a tax professional than posting this review, but I would stay as far way from Chris as possible.
