When I first learned about new tax laws affecting our retirement investments and documents, our…read morefinancial planner recommended that my wife and I visit Kent Shipley to have our documents reviewed and updated. Kent started out as a CPA specializing in tax accounting, but added to his education and practice with his law degree. With both disciplines, he has gone on to specialize in estate and trust planning. We simply brought in our old documents and discussed our wishes along with the impact of the new laws. We had a few follow up communications and then a final one to sign our documents. Throughout the process, we were pleased with his professionalism as well as his friendly manner. Though he now specializes in trust and estate planning (including wills, powers of attorney, etc), his son has joined the office to handle the tax accounting. I also used his son's expertise to file an amended tax return. I am not sure if they require recommendations for new clients or not, but you definitely need to schedule an appointment to get in for either service. If you have anyone who depends upon you and you've begun building up assets for retirement, make sure that you have your documents in order to carry out your wishes and not leave your loved ones to have to figure it out/fight over what to do. We are very satisfied with knowing that if anything happens to either one of us, dealing with problems will be much easier having chosen Kent Shipley to put our documents in order. Review #3759

I can't say I'm too impressed. I kept having to call to get updates on the progress of my…read morereturns. Then I got a call on Sunday, April 14 stating my returns were done and requesting payment for services. Obviously they were working at the last minute, which didn't make me feel very confident. It would have been more appropriate to give me a few days to look things over myself before submitting my returns. The only chance I had to do this was when I showed up the next day to sign my returns. With multiple state returns and real estate transactions, doing any review at that point was basically impossible. At that point I realized a mistake was made. I was due a refund for some withholding which they had not processed. I was told I hadn't submitted the withholding form to him to look at, but I know I did, and I know I talked to Ryan about this on our first meeting. Lastly, it would have been nice to have had the opportunity to direct deposit my refunds, which was not given me. Ultimately, I was left wondering why, after shelling out several hundred dollars for a professional return, I was the one who had to figure out the mistake. I will go back to doing my own returns from now on.

I was a loyal client of this firm for more than 10 years and, because of my complete lack of…read moreconfidence with their ability to correctly file my taxes, I will never use them again. The staff member I normally worked retired due to illness last year and the quality of work since her retirement has suffered. My first inkling of this was during our initial meeting to discuss our 2013 tax return. I asked our new CPA a (I thought) fairly simple question on 1098s. She said she didn't know. So, while my husband continued to walk through our papers with her, I googled my question, got to the IRS website and gave my CPA the answer to my question. I should have left then. Our return was prepared quickly and sent to us for signature. Something seemed amiss and I emailed the unsigned return BACK to the firm. "I don't see the loss due to the sale of our rental property on here," I put in an email. Later the same day I got a response that "Oooops! We've got that in there now. Sorry!" Me catching this omission increased our refund by $3,000.00. One might think the unprofessional service ended there. Nope. So my husband & I signed the return, attached a $540 check for services and dropped it all off at the office. When handing us back our original receipts, the woman at the desk said "Oh, yeah. We also have this for you." We were STUNNED to see that our 2010 and 2011 amended returns - which we discussed at length two years ago- had sat, untouched, since then. "You owe $1,700.00. We don't know why this has sat around so long. Sign here and we'll get them filed," the woman said. My husband snatched up all of the papers and said "I do not trust you to touch my taxes. I'll take them elsewhere." We left. A few hours later our CPA called. I am sure it was a difficult call to make and I am appreciative she did call. "I reviewed the 2010 and 2011 amended returns and there is an error. You don't owe $1,700-- you owe half that." Good grief! I understand that loosing a long-term staff member is hard on a small firm. But that is their internal problem, not mine.

Now I just keep what I need to collect during the year and take them into H&R Block. Usually done under 30 minutes and I'm on my way. They also compare your previous year numbers and talk about where you can make improvements. I've had three preparers over the years. When you finish, you can schedule for the next year and keep the same person. I've used Julie Preske the last two years, after my first preparer retired. Julie is in the Fishers office on Allisonville, about 118th. She does a great job and is incredibly friendly. For the stress reduction, the price is totally reasonable. I believe they base it on the number of forms you file. They print a copy of what is submitted. Since it's stored electronically, if you ever lose them, they can reprint for you. Some offices are open only for the tax season, but there is always an office open; the farthest I've had to drive was Castleton. A total bargain!!!
