They told me to bring in letters from the IRS and Oregon Department of Revenue which I did. Peterson was terrible about communicating with me. I had to call the Oregon Department of Revenue myself when Peterson said they would for me. The person I talked to told me no communication with them and Peterson had taken place. I assume the same was true from the IRS. Peterson would rarely call me back when asking questions or needing an update. The employees are unprofessional and lack knowledge. My financial advisor needed a CPA to calculate my yearly distribution amount. I was told that there would be no charge but she lied and charged me anyway. I hope this helps other people avoid Peterson tax services to save money and aggravation.

She did not respond to numerous emails nor did she return numerous calls. When I finally reached her, she failed to take responsibility for the firm's error. Details: I left their offices on April 4, 2024 with taxes completed (or so I thought) and envelopes they provided pre-addressed to the IRS with instructions on how to make required quarterly payments. At the check-out desk, I asked if that was everything I needed to do and was told "yes." On May 29, I received notices from the City of Portland (Multnomah County Preschool and Metro Supportive Housing) for overdue balances (plus penalty and interest) totaling $4,695.03. Of that, $610.03 was due to penalties and interest. I paid but then started my attempts to contact the firm to find out why I had not been advised about these charges and/or given additional envelopes to submit my payments. It was not until JULY that I was actually connected with the owner, "Kristi," who was rude, long-winded, and dismissive. Her best offer was a $200 credit on the next two years of tax preparation. (Obviously I will not be going back!) Instead of the $610 penalty and interest I was charged by Portland, I said -- as a compromise -- I would accept $400 in cash. She responded "no," that she had "a business to run" and hung up. I lost $600 and lots of time. I was treated rudely and unfairly. I do not recommend this business.

Her breath smelled like a sewer. Beware of this firm. It seems like they have grown way past their competencies.

Everyone is very professional and they do a great job. As an established client, they send you a pre-planned tax appointment every year based on your preferred time, which you can just keep or call to change/cancel. This is very convenient, one less thing to do. They also send you a handy tax organizer packet ahead of time (pre-filled with your previous year's information) to help you get everything organized and ready. This makes your appointment go very quickly and smoothly, with no surprises. If you do forget to bring a form, they let you just drop it off when you can. If you can't make it into their office in person, they also give you the option of just dropping everything off or mailing everything to them and they take care of the rest. You do not pay until they have completed your taxes and you go to pick them up. If you owe any taxes, they'll have the forms/envelopes all ready and pre-filled for you, you just have to sign and mail. They give you everything nicely organized in a file and the best part is that if you ever get audited by the IRS, they will have your back. Jason also answered questions for us about college savings plans and the cost of college tuition for our son. If you refer a new client to them, they will also give you a token of appreciation (we got a gift card to See's Candy before) and they enter you into a drawing for a trip to Hawaii! Highly recommend for tax preparation!
