Client Review on Daniel P. Allen CPA - A CPA Firm

Feedback:

Mr Allen and his associate James did our 2012 and 2013 LLC and personal returns. We have always done our own taxes but in 2012 we formed an LLC for an apartment we bought. For our 2014 returns we decided to give it a go and do them ourselves. Remember just because you hire a CPA doesn't mean your taxes will be done right! We have to file amended returns for 2012 and 2013. You see we didn't know how to file LLC taxes so we hired someone who we thought, would look at everything and guide us.One error, so basic that even I know now, you cannot depreciate land associated with the apartment. They depreciated the entire amount! His response was, "you didn't give us a value of the land".When in my opinion, he should have said, " we need a value of the land". If we had know all the ins and outs in 2012, we would not have needed him and his associate!He did send us an email asking for other information, so I know he could have easily included this question!There were other errors like entering the wrong amount for our 2013 mortgage loan and such.Just beware! If you are going to hire this firm, PLEASE review everything before it is sent!!I take the blame for trusting a professional with very easy LLC taxes.Yes, he does seem like he has a wealth of knowledge, I think he or his associate just didn't care enough to put in the effort.PS. He didn't even offer to help with an amended return! Now we are in tax hell!!
