He did my taxes for 2018. He was very thorough with my tax prep and I think he did a good job. However when I went to pick up my taxes he did not have time to answer a quick question. I waited and his staff was very rude towards me and was trying to push me out of the office and told me to pay and take my tax forms and write him an email and that he would answer it. When he came out of the office I asked him and he blew up at me and told me that he didn't have time to answer my tax related question. read more
