We normally use one of the online tax filing services for our yearly taxes but I never feel 100%…read morecomfortable I have done everything right when I'm done. This year we installed a grid of Tesla solar panels and PowerWall so we could make use of the clean energy tax allowance. I felt just a little out of my depth and with 'significant' tax liability the last thing we wanted was to mess up our filing so we did not get the full benefit of the credit. I discovered J & S on Yelp and I'm so glad I did. Hugh was so easy to work with, friendly and approachable, and highly capable taking our best interests to heart. I've never seen a more complete and methodically assembled tax filing and he discovered errors in one of our previous year's filings which we will be refiling for since we are still owed a refund. This tax year we are looking at a very sizable refund from our taxes and we are a peace knowing it was all done correctly and nothing we could have benefited from got over-looked. We won't be doing our own taxes from now on but will depend on J & S to take care of our tax filing needs.

He takes his time in making sure that you are fully aware of the process when filing with him. He took the time to reach out to me today in regards to my negative review. We spent a great amount of time talking through the details and that's respected of him. I applaud his concern for reaching out to me. There wasn't much that he could do in regards to my taxes that were filed late but he did explain their process. I do believe him to be a fair, honest and just business owner. For that reason I would say see Terry and his team. Be sure to keep an open line of communication with them and you will be pleased. Five stars for the firm for Terry's concerns.

I am beyond frustrated…read more My business closed. I have been trying to cancel my Avalara for over a week (and trying to get information for over 2 weeks). The Avalara account manager set up a phone appointment, but then didn't call me or return my emails. The next day she set up another phone appointment, but didn't show up for that either. Over the past 3 days, I have contacted technical support over a dozen times trying to cancel my account or get information or be transferred to someone else who could help me. (I also asked tech support if there was a link where I could cancel on my own, and they said no, that I needed to speak to the account manager). Today I received an email from the account manager saying that it looked like our timings were not "aligned" (wtf?). No acknowledgment, no apology. She sent me a link to cancel the account on my own. Why couldn't she have sent me that in the first place, rather than making me wait a total of over 2 hours for the phone appointments that never occurred. Why does Avalara make it so difficult to cancel? (Turned out the link doesn't give me the option to cancel my type of account.)
