We were referred to Jim Stillwagen for our 2013 taxes (filed 2014). Being new to the area and…read morerecently married, we were hesitant to file our own Federal and State. We were charged $195 (not exactly cheap) for his services. Several issues: ** Minor point, but his office also doubles as his house and he's a smoker. Everything stank like cigarettes in there. Jim, be a professional and take the smoking outside, wouldja? I know it's your house and all, but you're working with clients in there. And my wife was pregant at the time. ** He missed a major deduction -- thousands of dollars in moving expenses -- that only got covered because WE brought it up. ** He was too lazy to itemize our deductions, saying that we probably wouldn't meet the standard amount. Wrong! We totally met it when filing our own taxes this year, and are getting almost double the refund he got for us. ** Jim took four weeks to get us our paperwork back to us so we could sign and mail it in. He said it would be about a week! I had to call and leave several messages before he followed up with me. He then mailed it instead of letting us know we could pick it up (he's a 20-minute drive away), further delaying our refund. ** Jim misfiled an important piece of information (a tax overpayment from a few years back, worth over $1000) that caused our entire return to get rejected and subsequently delayed for over two extra months. ** He cashed our $195 check then began sending bills and calling, claiming he'd not received our payment. We had to send him a copy of our cancelled check before he admitted he'd made a mistake. He said it was because the name on the check didn't match the name on our filing (my wife's pre-marriage name was still on her checkbook). This guy is an accoutant, yet he'd just drop a check into his own account without seeing what item on his books it matched? What if HE were audited? How would he explain this undocumented income? Jim was difficult to communicate with, did not return calls, and incompetent. We could have had our return in a month or so, but instead it took over three months. We missed paying some bills due to this delay, incurring interest charges on credit cards that we would have had the money to pay... had our return come in a timely fashion. We also voiced our grivances and said we believed a partial refund was due, and he never responded (or even apologized). Worst of all, his routine and lazy processes cost us a portion of our refund that we'll never get back. Do yourself a favor and file your own taxes using H&R Block's online self-filing service. $9.99 for both Federal and State, and they provide audit analysis AND support (if the IRS decides to audit you). It's not that hard. My wife did it in about 2 hours, even with our six-month-old distracting her the whole time. :)

I agree 100% with the negative reviews. I used TURC because I neglected to comparison-shop…read more Following two bad experiences, I switched to a more ethical property tax appeal company with more favorable terms. TURC is the acronym for Tax & Utility Reduction Consultants. But on account of their despicable conduct, I prefer to call them "Tax & Utility Reduction Derelicts," or TURD. The Better Business Bureau currently gives "TURD" an "F" rating. The final straw was when I had a question about an amount I was billed for. Geez, a Soviet bureaucracy would have been easier to communicate with. TURD ignored multiple messages but was prompt to send repeated threats to turn my past-due account over to a collection agency. Finally, three months after I sent a letter to their president Frank Novello by Certified Mail, someone actually got around to calling me ... and my simple question escalated into a dispute. Disgusted, I paid the bill and promptly switched to a different company. This was back in 2008. Since then, TURD has ignored repeated requests to remove my name from their phone and mailing lists. In a September 2013 letter to Frank Novello, I stated that I would file complaints with the FTC and the Better Business Bureau unless the unwelcome solicitations stopped. He ignored my letter, so I went ahead and filed the complaints. This had no effect whatsoever, and the mail and annoying phone calls have continued unabated right up to the present time. This is called HARASSMENT. TURD's ongoing refusal to honor my request to place my name on their do-not-call list is in violation of Federal law.
