Natalie is the best. She has prepared my taxes since 2011. She is professional as well as empathetic with her clients. Always positive vibes from Natalie and her staff. Both Natalie and her staff know their stuff when it comes to taxes. I feel at ease, because I know my taxes are going to be done correctly. Thank you Natalie for all that you! Look forward in seeing you this tax season read more

I highly recommend this woman-owned and operated business. I went to Tax Guru last year for the first time after having done my taxes on my own with an online program for many years. Denise was professional and expertly guided me so that I got a refund of over $2000 more than the year before. They are located conveniently on Colesville Road in Silver Spring. Their offices are clean and comfortable. Denise is very supportive and friendly. She takes great care of me! Their fees are reasonable and you have the option of paying your fees out of your refund. Great service, and great experience! read more

So much good... I just want to spread the word! Tax Season is over, so I guess I missed the mark on getting this out before then, but you never know who's eye I might catch. Picture it... Sicily... 1954... No, but really... Picture it... My mailbox 2017... A letter from the IRS... Informing me that I had not properly filed my 2015 taxes - Goofed a key figure thinking I had it all covered with H&R Block at Home Software... Several phone calls and hundreds of dollars later the problem is fixed. Traumatized by my error and not wanting to repeat it, I turned to Yelp to find someone who would be able to assist me with my 2017 tax filings. As well as hire someone who would not charge me exorbitant rates as H&R Block offices had in the past. I narrowed it down to 3 companies based solely on gut and 5 star ratings. A few reviews later, I called 2 companies only to be told that they were booked for the season. Third call brought me to the TaxGuru... the associate I spoke with on the phone was very kind and answered all of my questions, as well as confirmed availability for new clients. I scheduled my appointment for the next week and hoped for the best. Upon arriving in the office I was greeted by the same associate I had spoken with on the phone and invited into the warm and welcoming office space. Natalie assured me that she would be with me shortly and escorted me to her desk a few moments later. I sat down, Natalie and I chatted a bit about how I came to find TaxGuru, I handed over my documents and before I knew it, my taxes were done. This by far, compared to any other experience I've EVER had, was the most enjoyable I've ever had getting my taxes filed. Natalie was extremely pleasant and patient, answering all of my general tax questions and those concerning past angst with the IRS. I thanked her for her services and departed to enjoy the rest of my afternoon. Settling back in at home, I moved to file away my 2017 returns and had the thought to check my 2016 taxes (Foolishly Done at Home on My Own) for any errors. Having sat down with Natalie only an hour before and reviewing the error I had made on my 2015 taxes, I soon realized that I had made the same mistake with my 2016 taxes. Knowing I now had a wonderful tax expert to call on for help - I quickly called the office back to inquire about amendments. Natalie let me know she would be happy to take a look and let me know what could be done to rectify the error. Thinking this would need to happen via another appointment on another day, I was pleasantly surprised when Natalie welcomed me back into the office just 15 minutes later. Oh... Did I not mentioned the super convenient location?! The TaxGuru Office is located in the Woodmore Shopping Plaza just off Colesville Rd in Silver Spring. Want to grab a coffee before meeting with Natalie? Starbucks is steps away... Need to grab something from CVS? Yup you guessed it... It's 5 doors down... Now back to the story... I walk back into the office with my 2016 taxes, which Natalie reviews and informs me of several things - One: Yes, I had failed to report correctly. Two: I had not actually taken proper deductions for the income that I had earned that year. All of this resulted in an amendment that would actually bring me additional returns over what I had received in 2017. Given that I wasn't expecting to file an amendment that day, Natalie was happy to hold onto my paperwork, prepare, and file upon payment at a later date. I called a few weeks later with payment and that was that. Before I forget: Natalie and her team were upfront about all the pricing questions I asked. I don't use credit cards and budget for anything and everything that I purchase. So when I requested pricing for both current year filing services and the amendment Natalie and her team were happy to discuss pricing with me. Payment was simple and easy. Like I said... So much good... I am telling all the people I can. TaxGuru is a trustworthy, enjoyable, and dependable place to get your taxes done. Oh, and as I told Natalie... I'm NEVER doing my own taxes again. I don't care where I go or what I do. Tax Guru will be my forever tax service. Hope this helps you make your decision in where to get your taxes done... Hint: It should be TaxGuru. read more

We used the tax-preparation services of this woman-owned and -operated business for the first time this year, after having done our own taxes for many years. Natalie is outstanding. Competent, extraordinarily efficient and patient with client questions, Natalie explained the tax implications of our changed circumstances and prepared our tax returns promptly. We were so impressed by her, her expertise and her attitude toward clients, we decided we will go to Natalie every year going forward. read more

Natalie was great very knowledgeable of tax laws. I will be going back this year sometime before 4/15/2019. She is the best and you will not be disappointed. read more

Having different sources of income was problematic using Turbo Tax's software. Turbo Tax isn't free as an independent contractor anyway. After realizing I should be getting some money back, and not paying the IRS, I sought out a local tax professional. I'd rather pay a little to get more back, you know? That's when I reached out to Natalie at Tax Guru. She said she could help with everything. Living practically across the street from Tax Guru, I walked into the office with all of my documents. Less than an hour later, my taxes were filed. Natalie even pointed out deductions I was missing filing on my own. If you're looking for someone local, friendly and most of helpful, go to Tax Guru. read more

It now is December 1st and my boyfriend still did not receive half of his tax refund. I'm even concerned about my taxes because we were told that the girl who did them did not do them correctly. But how? We had simple tax information. We figured we would try this place since it is closer to our home but seeing this, makes us not trust this company anymore. When tax season is over, it is almost impossible to get a hold of the owner. As nice as she is, our transaction fell very short to what was promised. read more

There is not another tax professional I would drive 1 hour for. Its worth it 100% to get your taxes done by Natalie. She has the knowledge and always looks out for the customers best interest. My wife and I will definitely be seeing her next year! read more

I was so impressed with the excellent service that was extended to me from the TaxGuru. I would recommended the TaxGuru to anyone. If you want your taxes to be done correctly. Then I would strongly suggest you have your taxes done by no other than TaxGuru. She is very knowledgeable I can assure you. There office is not like any and every tax office. There office is exceptionally welcoming. Its clean. The staff is very friendly. Please I ask you want your tax to be done correctly there is no other than the TaxGuru. What do you have to loose. You taxes would be done correctly. read more

Natalie is a scammer! I'm positive most of these reviews are either fake accounts or people that she knows. Natalie put one number on my taxes and stole the remainder of the money! When I contacted her, she sent the difference via Zelle because she knew she was caught! STAY AWAY. I guess we looked young and naive and thought we wouldn't find out what she did! read more

Natalie and Denisse are amazing! This place is the sweet spot--fast, courteous, friendly, accurate, and reasonably priced. I have had real challenges in the past with other preparers at all price points. So very glad to have found Tax Guru! read more

Natalie at TaxGuru is everything you want from a tax professional! She is knowledgeable, experienced, and will help you maximize your returns. I was dealing with a very overwhelming situation with the IRS. Natalie was able to assess my situation and advise the best path forward. She's very approachable, easy to talk to, and answered whatever questions I had. Natalie provides quality customer service and what makes her truly exceptional is her passion for helping people. Natalie is someone who will go the extra mile for you because she genuinely cares about the clients she serves. From my own experience recently, her effective and efficient expertise has truly provided emotional relief and lifted the burden that makes anything IRS-related so daunting. I am grateful to have found an honest and hardworking professional and I will continue to support her business going forward! read more

Stellar service with a smile. Highly recommend Natalie for personal and our small biz needs.

Excellent experience with Natalie. Ok, so I hate the IRS but I really don't fool around when it comes to taxes. This year I needed a professional because the online tax program I used was not applying my exemptions correctly and it looked like I owed (yikes! blood pressure spiking here). I Yelped first and found TaxGuru was close by. I called and made an appointment for Saturday. There was ample parking and only one flight of stairs to reach the office. Most importantly, Natalie listened intently as I explained my concerns about this year. She offered to review my taxes and if she couldn't save me any money she wouldn't charge me. That's what I love about small business owners, they are focused on the customers and what's best, not just the bottom line. Natalie reviewed my documents and processed my taxes in less than 30 mins. Thankfully not only did I not owe (phew!) but I got a refund (winning) and the answers to some tax questions I had about 2019. Natalie allayed my fears and got me some money back. I'll definitely return. read more

Natalie is an energetic and driven tax professional. Scheduling an appointment was easy. Parking is a breeze. Finding her office wasn't an issue. What truly impressed me about her was her ability to do all my taxes in the 15 minute first appointment we had AND give me a number of my expected refund. I did come 90% prepared with my paperwork. She scanned what she needed as we went. Out of the two accountants I have worked with in my life she has been the best yet. I highly recommend her. read more

They are extremely great. They listen to you and help you with any questions you have and explain everything in depth. They make taxes seem extremely easy and pain less. read more

Been using Turbo Tax for the last 4 years. But last year there was a problem with my federal return so I decided to have a professional do them this year. I decided to give TaxGuru a try, which I'm glad I did, they help me file my 2018 federal and state no problem. I was so happy with the results, that I came back a few weeks later to see if they could help file my 2017 federal return. Sure enough they were able to e file it and help me. Only minor issues I had was I was charged more to file my 2017 federal return not including 2017 state since I had already done it the year before. Compared to what they charged me to file both my state and federal for 2018. And the owner has to approve the file so if she is busy with another client you kinda have to wait so she can check what her assistant did. Other then that very happy! Thank you read more

For the past couple of years, I've found myself being dubious as to which tax preparer I'd be filing with, and every year i went to a different tax office, feeling like a nomad. I've had my reasons as to why I wouldn't be a repeating customer at any of those former business. Wether i felt the preparer was incompetent, or just horrible customer service. Well 2020 that all cane to an end, i found my home, and i was no longer a nomad. Tax Guru was everything i could ask for. From Natalie and her staff's customer service, which was exemplary, to the knowledge and information in which i received. I felt as if Natalie listened to every financial aspect; my budgeting, savings, investing. You name it, she listened. She explained all the possible approaches and gave her advice. When it was all said and done, i walked out of there with such an inexpressible euphoria, weight lifted off my shoulders. And the price, if I'm totally honest with myself, i think she's selling herself and her services short! read more

My tax advisor of 15+ years decided to abruptly retire this year, so it left me in a bad spot, after being unable to contact him for 3+ months. Anyway, I turned to my always dependable "Yelp" and it didn't let me down. Tax Guru was rated a 5-star with no negative comments, so I gave it try. Even though it was late in the tax season, Natalie was able to take me on as a new client. She was very thorough asking questions about deductions that I wasn't even aware of, nice clean office, a little further away from me that I would like, but who cares if you need to drive 45 mins once a year on a nice Sunday morning. She did us a great service, although she was a bit more pricey (around $400) than my previous guy (around $200), but still ... going to a Tax Preparer as knowledgeable as Natalie gives you peace of mind and you know all of your preparations are accurate, unlike the Liberty, HR Block and others who normally hire and train people for a single tax season, so I know better than to go that route--you seldom see anything positive about those types of companies. Natalie was able to take me on a weekend which is always better for me and her shopping center even has a band playing on Sunday for brunch, so you can enjoy the music bleeding in (smile), although she's moving in the future, so this will no longer be an option. Overall I very pleased even with the longer drive and slightly increased invoice. Thanks so much Natalie! Looking forward to an extended tax relationship going forward. read more

TaxGuru literally saved my life! I made a mess of my taxes doing them myself on TurboTax over the last few years. Recently, I received an audit notice from the IRS saying that I owed over $8k due to incorrect deductions. A friend referred me to Natalie at TaxGuru so I gave them a call. Natalie was very professional and seemed genuinely concerned with my problem and eager to help me fix it. Although I live in NYC, I was able to email all my documents to Natalie then she in-turn worked her magic. She explained to me what I did wrong and how she was able to fix it. I really felt like I was part of the process as opposed to blindly letting someone take control of your finances. I was really impressed by the personal attention, friendly demeanor, attention to detail and great price. Highly recommend! I will definitely use them this coming tax season. read more

I called the office and I was able to schedule a same day appointment. They allowed me to email my documents to the their office which was super convenient. Once I got ther, Natalie had already reviewed and printed out all of my documents. I was given a fair price and my taxes were done in record time. She even took the time to thoroughly answer all of my random questions about future business endeavors. I look forward to working with TaxGuru for many years to come. read more

Like many people I've used TurboTax to file my taxes for years. This year,however,we had a bit of a complicated situation and it looked like I was going to be paying way more money than made sense. So I went on over to TaxGuru because of the wonderful reviews and after doing my own research on Natalie. PAUSE. Before I selected Tax Guru I had my eye on another CPA and the day before my appointment something told me to google and whata ya know,they were involved in a tax related lawsuit. NO THANKS! So. FAST FORWARD. Natalie wasn't in so Denise took care of us and that was THE BEST TIME IVE EVER HAD FILING TAXES. lol. Seriously. I'm not going anywhere else. We had wonderful conversation and she got all those extra forms handled that seemed to break TurboTax. Afterwards Natalie reviewed our paperwork and found us a little bit more. These ladies are awesome. I'm so happy to support a woman-owned business. You'll see us next year for sure! read more

Great experience with Natalie Parchment (owner). I sat down expecting a long wait, but was in and out within an hour. Her organization stand behind their work, and is very professional. I am recommending them to everyone I know. read more

I want to thank Danielle and Denise for being my tax heroes. I walked in their office with fear and left with a smile. I will definately be coming back next year. Thank you ladies read more

I have been a client of Natalie's at TaxGuru for almost 5 years and I will continue to be her client for life! She helps me every year get the most out of my taxes and what differs her from my past accountants is the customer service she provides. I have gone to stuffy accountants before who just plug in the numbers and keep it moving or when asked a question answers me in terms that I do not understand and are intimidating. However, Natalie provides thorough explanations of the tax process so I can understand when there are changes in my life like when I bought my first home and even provides advice for my future plans. She always remembers me when I walk through the door and even though I only see her once a year. TaxGuru is definitely a place I recommend to all friends and family and I will continue to use after my move to California since Natalie provides taxes for all states and does them through email as well! I am definitely happy to have found TaxGuru! read more

Natalie is amazing at what she does. She found deductions that I never considered claiming because I didn't know if I qualified. I recieved my tax return within WEEKS compared to months using a different service last year. If you're paperwork is complicated or not, hit up Natalie for all your tax service needs this season! read more

Natalie was great! I've done my own taxes the past couple years and decided to have someone else do them this time since I have a bunch of different forms that I have to submit. When I tried myself online it said that I owed money and Natalie was able to get me a good amount back and help me understand what I was doing wrong on my own. She was very patient & thorough! Thanks you all! read more
