Patrick put the wrong PIN on my 2018 IL-1040 for Property Tax Credit. He used my income property PIN, instead of my principal residence. There should have been no confusion as I sold my income property and had all those documents separated for him. However, as a result, I received a return correction notice zeroing out my $600+ credit. I called Patrick to correct his mistake and he directed me to work with the Dept. of Revenue directly to provide what they are looking for. Now, they are saying I can only claim part of the credit because I bought the house in 2017. Reading online, it looks like I'm eligible for the credit on my sold property too. 6 months later, I still need to submit new documents and figure this out myself. Isn't that what I paid him for? By the time this is over, I will have spent countless hours on this over 8-10 months to fix his simple mistake. I think he knows what he's doing but he is working too fast and is prone to mistakes as a result. Then you're on your own to fix his mistakes. read more

Murph Accounting & Tax Services - Return Correction Notice because Patrick used the wrong PIN. - Accountants Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Patrick is one of the most professional accountants I've ever worked with (and I have had my taxes done by a Big 4 on one occasion). He diligently explains what he is doing, and his recap on your personal income taxes is very informative. My first year using him, I thought he made a mistake, as I had done a dry run of my taxes using a web-based provider, and it turns out the web-based provider was wrong. read more

Last year I went to a name brand national company so to speak. Chose to go local with Murph this time. Yes, I could do it myself, having the normal DIV and INT 1099's and so on, but when it comes to the brokerage funds, I don't want to screw up. In my opinion he's very knowledgeable and because he's a "one man band" charges very reasonable. I definitely will be back next year. read more

This was my first time using him. After reading the reviews i decided to try him. I was a little concerned because he runs his business solo. And i had to reachnout to him after dropping my taxes off. He did my taxes in no time and my return was deposited within 2 weeks. I was shocked. The fee he charged me was great too! Nice guy as well. He is worth the wait. read more

When I called Murph Tax the owner immediately answered the phone. He had me in for an appointment the very next day. Patrick (the owner) was able to quickly and professionally walk through each part of the return, explaining his steps one by one. I work a day job and also operate a small business. Patrick told me exactly what I needed to bring with me before the appointment; so there was no driving back and forth to gather missing documents. Once all was said and done with my appointment, I probably only spent 35 to 40 mins. It was a great experience and I will definitely be returning next year. Thanks Patrick! read more

Called in the week before taxes were due (I was missing a document, hence the delay), so Patrick advised me to file for an extension, and gave me an appointment for the week after taxes were due. Sat down and I went from a deficit to a positive return in no time. His rates are super reasonable and I'll be back again next year and I'll be bringing more customers with me. read more

Let me say this up front, I dread getting taxes done!! Patrick quickly put us at ease by sharing his tax consultant journey with us and then made quick work of reviewing last years return where he identified an oops in our favor. Patrick completed our return quickly before asking us questions which frankly neither of us could recall being asked prior. The questions were all related to donations, etc. Patrick gave us realistic advice on how and what to track which we put into practice that very afternoon! He finished our appointment by stating if you need me I'm here, even though I don't keep regular hours in the tax off season I'm available to meet with clients. His fee was very reasonable, money frankly well earned. Patrick is a professional, personable, efficient one man tax consultant who we'll be seeing again next year. read more

I used Murph Accounting last year and plan to be back again this year. It was a very pleasant and easy experience. I just don't like to do my taxes. I always feel like I am going to miss something so I went to Murph and he made the experience painless, easy and quick. I made an appointment and he was on time and very thorough. I felt confident in his knowledge and years of experience. He also helped me adjust some things for the next year to maximize my filing. He is also very pleasant and easy to talk to. It was overall a very good experience and I would recommend him to anyone who doesn't have the time or want to bother with preparing their own taxes. read more
