Advised on Tax Penalties, Tax Return Mistake | Jun 21, 2025
Bonnie and her partner Atilio were a big disappointment. Not only did they take quite long to submit my son‘s return but made a huge error. He was contacted by the IRS and had to figure out the mistake on his own. They offered no apology and never sent him a copy of the amended return.

Advised on Unpaid Taxes | Oct 30, 2023
Terrible attitude!! I’m still surprised how did all this happen but like how dare you could laugh at someone for couldn’t take care taxes because of family emergency?? All I wanted to do was just solve this one little question that I had about me owing taxes, and ended up being disrespected.
I even apologized for not being aware of this situation because i’ve never had this kind of issues before. She was constantly talking over me on the phone and at the end, she just decided to laugh how broke I was just because I said no thank you when she asked me to see if she can file my tax! I’m very glad I said no after this I hope you’ll never talk like that to anyone ever again!!!
Professional's Reply On Nov 03, 2023
"Sorry. That was not what I meant at all. All I intend to say is that if your tax return is late, interest and penalty will start accumulating and the amount that you owe can multiply quickly. This has to be resolved ASAP. You can ask another professional. I hope you don't take it offensively, but I have your best interest at heart."
