Jul 31st, 2019

Hired Chris to do my taxes in 2019 due to a complex Roth IRA issue. Gave him all relevant information and paperwork well in advance of the normal April tax deadline. His office went silent for months. I had to nag to get my taxes finished and had to continually reach out to find out when they were done. We finally received our completed taxes just ahead of the extended deadline in 2020. We filled out all the paperwork as we were instructed and mailed it and checks to the IRS. A few months ago (Oct 2021), we started getting letters from the IRS informing us that we owe them MORE money for the same years in question for 5329 (IRA) issues. I contacted Chris's office immediately. His assistant requested some IRS paperwork from me which I provided that very day. Chris himself called me back about a week later. I explained the situation, and he said he was willing to look into it to see if he'd made a mistake. He then said that he needed to send me some paperwork so he could call the IRS on my behalf. It's been 2 months since those emails and phone calls, and I've heard nothing from either of them. I paid a non-trivial sum of money to have my taxes done by Chris. If a mistake was made, I expect it to be taken seriously - especially given the quantities of money involved here! I'll not be using this CPA again.
