This place messed up my personal accounting so terribly that I have had trouble with the IRS for the last three years recovering from it.

Incompetent. I gave them all my tax info. ALL of it. They messed it up and I had to pay the IRS for incorrectly reported taxes AND interest and when I told NHC this, they just said they didn't pay fines or interest. So in other words, they don't stand behind their work. They'll do your taxes wrong and leave you to clean up the mess. Oh and they're expensive too. Horrible all around. If I could give them zero stars, I would.

Elaine M Norton CPA is a GREAT CPA!! She has the unique ability to be technically savvy, yet down to earth and able to communicate the complexity of the tax laws as they applied to me. Well worth the price to use her services.

on Taxsmiths
THE OWNER IS INTELLIGENT, PATIENT AND COURTEOUS. HE TOOK THE TIME TO ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS, AND HE EVEN INFORMED ME OF PERTINENT INFORMATION NO OTHER TAX PREPARER DARED TO TELL ME. THE OWNER/PREPARER WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH QUICK, ACCURATE SERVICE. I EVEN GOT BACK A SIGNIFICANTLY BIGGER REFUND... I AM SOOOOO HAPPY. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CO-WORKERS. THERE'S A SECOND OFFICE IN NEW YORK WHO ALSO PROVIDES THE SAME SERVICES.
*****  Treated Fairly

on Upton Accounting, Inc- James Upton Accountant
I am always treated fairly at Upton Accounting, James Upton and his staff provide a good service for reasonable rates. James, Joann or Pat or anyone else working is always ready to answer my questions. When I thought I was not receiving as large a refund as I should I questioned James and he was able to clearly explain the law that costed me $1000 because my child was now over 17. Even though I was not getting as much back, at least I understood why, and felt like I had been treated fairly.

Tax Preparation Infomation

The traditional method of filing for taxes is by contacting a local tax accountant's office. They can help you file your income taxes and understand the laws; all while providing a complete service and minimal fees. Simply contact several accountants in your area to compare fees and turnaround times. They can help with personal, business, LLC, military and student tax forms. A tax account (typically a CPA - Certified Public Accountant) is trained each year to keep up with the evolving tax laws.

With the advances in the internet and computer age, many people now opt to file taxes online. Online tax services can be performed over the web from your own home. Professional tax preparation software is available to run on PCs and Macs that can allow you to perform your own taxes and print out the required forms. The cost of this type of software can vary from state to state.

Be wary of any tax preparation services that offer their services as "free tax preparation". These types of services often prepare your taxes, but then charge you to file them with the state and federal agencies.
