I think this is year 4 or 5 for me with Peter. I found him after moving to NYC. Why do I love…read morePeter? Simple: I know I'll never pay a cent more than I need to in my federal or state taxes. Peter has a wide knowledge of how to maximise your take home pay and can deal with complex tax returns across various real estate holdings, employee stock purchase programs, RSUs, donations, etc. Have I been in cleaner offices? Sure, but why do I care about that? I can go to H&R Block in union square if that's what I prioritise. I choose an account based on legality, cost of service and How much he can help me reduce my tax burden. I read previous reviews and couldn't help but laugh. You're upset he hung up on you when you couldn't find his office on a major cross street in Manhattan? Do you know how valuable his time is? If you cannot find his office I can only imagine that you'd be the type to forget to bring your W-2 or 1099 to the appointment. I get it, New York isn't for everyone. Someday outside of busy season I hope to sit back, spark up a cigar and discuss various theories on how Epstein didn't kill himself over a nice bottle of scotch with Peter. During which, I'll give Peter a huge hug for the money he's saved me. You may judge your accountant on office cleanliness or political views however, the reason why I stay with Peter is because money talks and there's no one better in the city than him.

Found him through the Freelancers Union, he disentangled my big mess of self-prepared returns a few years back, got me on a clear path with everything working like clockwork.

I write this review to give fair warning to future customers. We used Medows CPA for three years…read more It was a very up and down experience. Over the past three years, Medows put more preparation burden on his customers (requiring completion of lengthy, convoluted forms which I've never had to prepare for a tax PREPARER before), while complaining that our taxes took a long time to complete. We had to check their work for errors. We learned to expect inaccurate answers and incomplete research when we did have questions - and often completed the research ourselves. He was very helpful when we had a shift in our income/expenditure situation three years ago. Hence two stars. But then our taxes got very simple for two years in a row. A few months ago, I asked for an itemized bill for last year's expenses and/or a fair estimate for this year's work. I was told we were too much work, and it wasn't worth his time to retain us as customers - no answer, no transparency. This is probably par for the course in tax preparation, and there's nothing particularly bad about this service. But there's nothing particularly good either. We'll spend as much time preparing our own taxes this year as we did preparing and checking Medows' work last year, and we'll save $335. For even mildly intrepid souls, I recommend using a tax accountant only when you have a big change in financial circumstances, and in between just use TaxAct.com and a couple of calls to the IRS. It's really not that hard.

Within changing my careers he has also provided me with insight on my taxes (it is not as straight forward as before). My husband has a small business and John also has provided a lot of sound advice for him as well. We just got married and he was helpful with joint filing too. Last thing... He is a really nice guy.

Disclaimer: I was recommended to utilize David Zhang's expertise by a family friend of David. This…read morereview is not on the employee (who was pleasant) but it is on David. I first went to consult David back in March 2022 and he was great. He answered all my tax questions and I was in and out of the office in no time. I thought to myself, great, I just found an amazing accountant in my neighborhood. During that time, I explained to David about my situation and he responded to come back to me when tax season is over and all he has to do is to file a 1040x (to amend my tax return - 1040). (Side note: The issue that I had was that I initially e-filed my taxes. The federal rejected it but the state accepted it. Which is why I went to seek professional services in resolving the problem). So on December 12, 2022 at 1:30pm I went to see David and his office was busy. I told David I did not have an appointment and I asked, "should I make an appointment"? He decided to hear me out at first but then he passed my case to one of his employees. The employee explained to me that since I did not file my taxes 2020 taxes with them, there is nothing that they can do and I would have to come back during tax season. I tried to explain to them what David told me back in April (to come back after tax season) and David told his employee in Chinese "just ignore him, he is too annoying". Yup, just because someone doesn't speak the language, doesn't mean the person does not understand. The funny thing is that, just over the weekend, the same family friend asked me how was my experience with David because she wanted to file her taxes with him for the upcoming year. I raved about how great he was the first time around but after this experience, it got me to think: if a family friend doesn't even use your service in the first place, it is extremely telling of your professional demeanor or the lack thereof. This review will probably not affect the business but if you are looking for a tax accountant in Elmhurst, stay far away from this place.

First of all, he was very responsive both this year and last, responding personally to my myriad of email questions and meeting with me in person. It was my first time going to an accountant, as I had always done my taxes myself, and thus, I wanted to be very involved and understand what decisions he was making. While my taxes are fairly straightforward, I had some extenuating circumstances that made itemizing tricky. I could not have been more thrilled with the service that I received and the refund that came my way. He totally got it about how to handle airbnb income, and relieved my anxiety about how that might impact what I owe. The best part was that he actually found me an amazing deduction for educational expenses that I had no idea about, since I always assumed my income was too high to benefit from any of the tuition programs out there (I am a part-time grad student). It is a no brainer that I went back to Marc this year. He is young, tech-savvy and approachable for all those Millennials out there who may be overwhelmed about finding an accountant (I was for years!). His online form upload program is easy to use and convenient. I know that my boyfriend still has to email all his paperwork piecemeal to his accountant, which seems like a pain. Keep up the good work Marc! I'm looking forward to seeing your magic this year!
