These people are con artists. I was referred to this place - specifically Christine Caperton - to…read moreassist with amending my 2025 tax returns. She never disclosed rates, fees, or any general costs associated with my spouse or me, then said "we wont know the total until it's all said and done." After weeks of Christine "double amd triple checking" her work at my cost (which still needed my attention to detail to catch HER ERRORS), and re-creating my entire tax return (which was a burden of her system, not in my control), they charged us $1200 for an amendment. I was pressured to pay, never given an itemized bill, and was given an "it is what it is" attitude. After paying to get my amendment filed, I disputed the charge with my bank for being overcharged for services rendered. I just received a check from the IRS because the crooks rescinded the amendment out of spite. Luckily, I have my copy of everything they did so I can simply recreate the forms and mail them out with a fresh check. If you need a tax preparation service, youd be better off with a chicken pecking at a keyboard while on the TurboTax website than to ever trust Christine Caperton to touch your documents. ​

This review is after a full on argument with Christine who finally decided to answer the phone for…read morethe fourth tim over six months. If you want you taxes to be properly done DO NOT GO HERE. ANYWHERE ELSE would be better than here. Christine specifically does not know how to separate personal life from work. Nor does she know how to answer the phone, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. They will overcharge you just because they think you will not notice. Save your money and do it yourself or someone else you actually know. Christine is absolutely incapable of her job as a tax preparer. She will pretend that she wants to help you. DO NOT BE FOOLED. She would rather ignore you for 6 months. Or be a liar and tell you she will call back and just won't. This place takes you going in as an inconvenience. PLEASE GO TO AN ACTUAL CPA-- most of them are held to standards. Christine had none.

In the wake of losing everything in 2017 Tubbs wildfire, our tax reporting became very complex, and…read moreour CPAs at the time did not have the experience to help us navigate the tax waters without significant loss. After paying substantial amounts in the ensuing years, we were told there would be an even greater amount to pay, which we finally took as a cue to seek other tax support. After interviewing several tax professionals, we were very fortunate to find Madelyne Cromwell, principal of Cromwell Tax & Bookkeeping (CTB). Our taxes-including those we'd already paid- took a significant turn for the better. CTB has been our tax go-to tax consultants since then. A bonus has been that Madelyne has shared with us tax programs we didn't know about that further reduce our taxes as seniors. Smart, honest, expert in Fed, state and local tax law and process, Madelyne is the consummate professional who really cares about her clients, as does her staff. They have our highest recommendation.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy tax expert for business and personal taxes. Look no further!

This last tax season they fired my tax preparer who is a family member and locked her out of the office. Now I get a notice that they can't help us this year after a decade of paying them to prepare our taxes. My parents also received the same notification in the mail instead of our annual tax preparation packet because they are too busy to help loyal clients that they screwed over the year before. Not even a phone call, just a letter, sorry, we are too busy to help loyal clients. If they were planning on dropping clients they should have said something after they screwed up last year. It really makes me worry what shady stuff happened and if my prior years were legit or messed up. Definitely a poor handling all the way around. I don't like to leave bad reviews but this one earned less than one star. To not be notified until December that instead of getting a tax prep packet to get a "You have been dropped and need to find a new place is a slap in the face. And there was only one person that called back one time ever, even when calling the main line. Way to take care of a long time client, and drop my entire family. If you were going to drop us we should have been notified after last April when you fired her. That's 8 months of wait to find out that your tax preparers won't be helping you. Highly impersonal service. And that's 8 less months to find a good accountant/CPA.

So since I have to get them out of the way, I'm glad to have Jolene with Ansbrotax on my side. This is the first year that she's assisted me with my taxes. Side note: her father used to do my mother's taxes for a number of years. In any case, it's nice to see Jolene carrying on the family biz. She's professional, friendly, and gets the job done in a timely manner. I always felt like I was in good hands, and that she was looking after my best interests. While I still wound up owing Uncle Sam a considerable sum this year, I'm sure the amount would've been significantly higher without Jolene's watchful eye. She's an accountant, after all, not a miracle worker. At the end of the day, I would highly recommend Ansbrotax. And I'll probably be back again next year for my next governmental root canal. : )
