Best tax preparation service in Cranberry, Pennsylvania (PA) 2024

We have used Booksmarts in Cranberry for our taxes for about 5 or 6 years. I am self employed and opened a Simple IRA plan (on their advice) for a retirement plan. The first year of the plan when they did the return, I received no tax benefit. When I questioned that, they said, no we were still exceeding the income limits. The second year was the same, but around that time I changed custodians for the plan and the new custodian told me I should definitely be receiving a tax benefit. I requested a meeting and at that point they agreed and completed amended returns for 2009 and 2010. When I picked up my 2011 returns they treated it the same way they had initially, and completed forms under my husband's ssn for the plan. This time I requested a meeting right away. I had to explain to the tax preparer why they should not have used a particular form. Another amended return. When I complained to the office manager, her suggestion was basically that maybe I should use Turbotax. I have since had the last three years of returns reviewed by a CPA firm. Federal looks OK, but they found that Booksmarts did not include our 529 contributions on our state return for the last two years. Two more amended returns. I would not recommend Booksmarts unless you like to review your taxes line by line after you have paid them to do it. ~Joanne
