Tim Mulgrew: I was uncomfortable with some of his suggestions even though he said he could win in court if the IRS would audit me. I consulted and the other tax specialist, attorney CPA offered, gave me and my family the Fed code to read for myself. We decided it was too risky for us and decline his recommendations. Later, I found is was a well know loop hole that the IRS is well aware of.
I think he tries to come up with good strategies, but I don’t want to be involved with the IRS. Or be at risk. Some might be ok with this plan.
Up to that point he was not for me, but then we caught him doing something UNethical and I was told from another attorney illegal. I am afraid he retaliated too, something I did not expect. I have contemplated for awhile to write this review or not.
If you choose to use his services be careful. Is he an accountant or CPA? This was my experience. In other circumstances he could be ok. Sad that I had this experience.

I have used API for a few years. I will tell you that I am leaving this firm to go elsewhere. This new assistant Tim has is horrible (Susan). You never receive a return email or phone call and when I’ve sent Tim an email to complain, nothing… No response, no follow up. I think Tim has checked out. I now get IRS and state notices of mistakes and taxes due.
Be afraid… be very afraid.

Would give them 6 starts if I could.
API was first recommended to me by a friend with a very complicated tax situation — full-​time job plus real-​estate brokerage plus multiple rental properties. All handled with aplomb. After I started using them, I’ve been happy to have API do my taxes for my much simpler full-​time positions and small-​business corporation for several years.
Great, quick, friendly, expertly detailed and totally professional.
