I would give it 0 stars if possible. They do not listen to you. If something goes wrong or they are not able to help with your tax problem they will not be honest about that and tell you. Instead they will string you along. Also, I am not sure if they don't take notes about what clients are asking for, if they don't read them after, or what. These people are expert level gaslighters though. No one seemed to know about any previous communication with anyone. Not only that they were not able to deliver on any stated reason we hired them for. Instead we got a list of things they billed us for, some of which we said we did not want and some of which simply was never executed on correctly. Currently I'm waiting to see if they fail to deliver my requested records, as finance is a heavily regulated industry. They have 45 days to respond and I'm currently on day 44. If anyone needs it, here's some info I found helpful: Tax professionals have strict guidelines for responding to records requests, depending on whether the request is from a client or a regulatory agency.Client Requests: Tax professionals must generally provide a client with their records as soon as practicable, but no later than 45 days. This applies to documents pre-existing to the relationship, such as original receipts and prior returns.Regulatory Requests: If the IRS or state taxing authorities issue an audit or summons, response deadlines depend on the specific Information Document Request (IDR) issued, but typically range from 10 to 30 days.The rules governing these requests outline different requirements:1. Returning Client Records (IRS Circular 230)Under IRS Circular 230 (31 CFR 10.28), a practitioner must promptly return any client records needed to comply with federal tax obligations.Disputed Fees: Even if a client owes money for services, the tax professional must return client-provided documents. However, state laws may allow the practitioner to retain their own working papers (schedules, analyses) until fees are paid.Timeframe: The AICPA recommends returning or providing requested records within 45 days, absent extenuating circumstances.2. IRS or State Agency AuditsIf the IRS or a state taxing authority (like the Colorado Department of Revenue) requests documents from a tax professional during an audit or investigation, they will set a strict, legally binding deadline:Information Document Requests (IDRs): These typically demand responses within 14 to 30 days.IRS Summons: A formal summons generally allows a minimum of 10 days from the date of the summons to produce records or testify.3. Record Retention RulesTax professionals are not required to keep all files forever, but they must retain certain records to prove due diligence and aid clients during audits.IRS Requirements: Paid preparers must keep copies of returns (or a list of taxpayer names/ID numbers) for 3 years after the close of the return period.Professional Standards: The AICPA recommends tax practitioners keep records and files for 7 years to ensure coverage for all potential statutes of limitations Just from the Google. I'm not an expert. They are a regulated industry and not only did they mess everything up in my case, but I believe I caught them breaking the requirements established by their regulatory agencies. Also, I've seen other people comment about being ignored. They are currently ignoring me rather than responding despite the fact that I've never yelled or sworn at them. Just relayed what my experience was. Mostly girls in their complaints resolution team that seem to think they can answer once in awhile and choose what they want to reply to rather than just do their jobs like adults. It's embarrassing for women everywhere. So incompetent. Also helpful: They can't ignore you if you have paid them for services. They can be reported to your State Board of Accountancy or the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility. Licensed and professional organizations in finance are set up in such a way that paying clients do have rights and ignoring clients is a reportable thing. Update: TNUSA responded.I now provided my specific details for them, and they are saying they can not find my case, and referring me to their aforementioned team of girls who selectively answer what questions they feel like answering. I talked to Ava and Valerie. Maybe they can provide you with my case number since you can not use my phone number, name, and email address, apparently???
