I worked with Howard during this past tax season and he was extremely knowledgeable on tax issues and very easy to collaborate with. He was a good sounding board, easy personality and a good team player.

Howard is a true tax professional. His many years of experience show he has a detailed knowledge of US income tax law, forms, and tax software. He can quickly navigate the tax forms, including the less common forms, to ensure complete and accurate reporting. In addition, Howard, is a pleasure to work with and does a great job communicating tax results and explaining the rules causing the end of result.

Our local banking institution offered automatic RMD withdrawal from IRAs which my husband and I took advantage of starting in 2021 reporting tax year. The bank did do my IRA RMD but did not do my husbands RMD. We did not realize this until we gathered documents for our 2023 tax return. We were new clients with Howard Zarabet. He handled all the extra forms and walked us thru the filing of amended returns for 3 years. With Howard’s experience handling this very upsetting situation, the IRS accepted our amended returns without any penalties. I highly recommend HJ Zarabet and Associates, CPAs.
