Unfortunately, I have to change my review. Belvedere went MIA for a bit and had to file an…read moreextension for my taxes but I had to chase them down. Also, we found out this year from our state that they never filed my husband's state taxes for 2020 and our state almost put a lien on our house because of it. So at this point, I'd avoid them and go somewhere else because he paid $400 for both federal and state taxes just for them to not. He's also reached out to them and hasn't heard back. This is not a business I trust any longer.

I went in on February 13th to get my taxes done by Jason. A month went by and I did not receive my…read morereturn so I contacted the IRS. They explained that "NO RETURN WAS EVER FILED". So I call Jason to see what happened and he says "I might have forgot to hit the submit button." I asked for a refund of $250 which was his filing fee. He declined to give me a refund stating "It was never a guarantee that I would submit your refund on the date you came in" DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. I HAVE PHOTOS TO PROVE THIS UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR.

I am most happy with how any questions I have are answered by an email in very little time. Batsheva does a great job with my account and is very easy to reach with any questions as well.

This group does a great job with that!

My husband often wonders how I ever survived before I met him. Besides my absolute refusal to get…read moreoil changes for my car (13 oil changes in 11 years!), I also loved to do my own taxes. At 8pm on 4/15. Without a calculator (and I have the math skills of a pre-schooler). Heh. Living on the edge. That's me. But then we moved in together and the first year of him watching me blithely scribbling random numbers on my 1040EZ form caused him to weep copiously. By the second year, he physically wrangled my tax forms from me...and brought it to CHC CPAs. Don't tell him this, but this is one of the *very few* times he was right. Things I've learned by having a real professional work on your taxes: 1) You get more money back...even when they don't let claim your pet bunny as a dependent (hey, do you know how much bunnies cost?!? I think I should get the same tax deduction as a kid! Especially as my bunny won't be a drain on our social resources. I'm just sayin'!). 2) You save yourself a couple hours arguing with your husband if I can "fake" not living in MoCo and not pay the higher tax rate...I mean, we live in Gaithersburg...that's *practically* Frederick County (with the lower tax rate), right??? 3) You don't make your significant other cry when you proudly proclaim that the Fed is going to give you a $1,335,830 refund...because you screwed up the decimal point thingie. By *A LOT*. Oops. Heh. Yeah, I know. I am the most highly functioning ditz on the planet. But here's the OTHER awesomething thing about CHC. Unlike other tax prep places (like, H&R Block, not that there's anything wrong with them), CHC *ALSO* does financial planning.SOOOO...when you get back that super awesome refund...you can INVEST IT...which CHC does as well. So in a nutshell: unless you're Warren Buffet or Mitt Romney...call up CHC. Just like you would call a plumber to fix your drain...call a professional to do your taxes! YAY!

Ever since TurboTax effed up my taxes in 2009, I swore I'd never use a software tax filing service…read moreever again. Even as an Asian, I'm horrible at math and accounting (video games too...sigh) so I knew it was time to find an accountant. I've been working with Jonathan Cohen as my CPA for the last 4 years and it's been simply fantastic. I had a complicated (or what I thought was complicated) situation when I first became a client (multiple jobs/ living/working different states/trying to start a sole proprietorship) but Jon made it a breeze! He is extremely easy to work with as he is friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgable. Any time I have a question, he is very quick to reply via email or phone and always explained it in a way that I would understand him. I highly recommend Jon (or any of the other associates at CHC) looking for help with tax prep- they're the best.

When the state said I was not able to claim a certain exemption, Will defended the decision made and the state realized their mistake.

Would highly recommend Accurate Accounting and Will Upton.

Short-version: Jeff Lipsey is simply the best…read more Long-version: I typically do my personal income taxes myself and have never had to file business income taxes before. I'm also one of those horrible last-minute filers. So it was that I realized at 5pm on Friday, April 12th (before the April 15th tax deadline, mind you) that I needed to file a D-30 Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax Return for my the AirBnB I began in 2018. I frantically called various CPAs throughout the DMV to try to get some advice on my D-30 situation (at 5:30pm on a Friday). No luck. Then I found the Lipsey and Associates blog post on AirBnB and casual rental income, which was very helpful in itself. And then I sent a horribly long e-mail explaining my situation to Jeff Lipsey and asking for his advice. At 6pm on the Friday before Tax Day. Most people would have probably just laughed at my e-mail and then gone back to enjoying their weekend. But not Jeff. He responded to my e-mail within 12 hours, and then answered my follow-up questions in less than an hour!!! As a result, I was able to deduct more business expenses and ended up netting almost $2,000, as compared to the tax returns I prepared prior to receiving Jeff's advice. As you can see, Jeff is the best! Do yourself a favor and call or e-mail him.
