There was an ad in the mail where you could go to this tax service company and get a free tax consultation, if you are a new customer. I went there because wanted to ask the tax professional (his name was Earl Yancey) advice about whether I was preparing my taxes properly and what to do for future tax preparations. My goal was to avoid owing federal taxes this year as well as owing taxes for next year.
First of all, he really didn't give me a straight answer about what I should do, then he when I tried to show him what I did with my taxes he kept saying the only way he could help would be to actually do the taxes. So I just decided to let him prepare the tax form for me. Well, the first return calculation he got had me owing the Federal government more money than what I calculated on my own.
This is when I had him go over in detail how he got that amount and then he realized he didn't add one of my Forms information onto the form. To make a long story short don't go to this place and expect to get anything free. Also, watch carefully what the people are putting on your forms because there is always human error.
