John S. Curtin, CPA Chartered

The first year things were fine. But then it got significantly worse each year. Last year I provided everything in April, and the return was barely filed by the Oct 15th deadline. Very little communication, lots of ghosting. Error on the return that we caught. And then Maryland said tax was done wrong and we owed additional money. Very poor experience, would not recommend. Went to TurboTax this year and everything was done in 2 days by a CPA and it cost less.

I was very pleased with the service I received with John Curtin, and his supportive assistant, Debbie. This was my first time to use Mr. Curtin's services, and I was anxious. He and Debbie were so responsive and thorough, and supportive!

John has looked after my tax needs for nearly 40 years. What more of an endorsement can one give? He has always looked after me and my business interests.

I'm trying to find the right words to describe my experiences and to avoid my review from being too influenced by my emotions. At the end of the day, my experiences with Mr. Curtin was shockingly disappointing. There was simply no communication at all between us. I just received an automated email out the blue saying that an extension was requested. Not even a heads up or a explanation on what was going on. Promises where he would reach out the following week to wrap up the return just came and gone. No response. My repeated emails were ignored, phone calls never picked up, taxes completed late (completed two days ago after sending in the documents in Feb.) and even after completing my taxes, when I sent a follow up question to gain some clarity, that email was also ignored. I had gone to Mr. Curtin due to the numerous 5 star reviews and I continue to wonder why my experience went so poorly compared to other customers. I really am confused and continue to ask myself if it was something I had done to receive the type of service I received.
