Linda sees her clients in her home… Her living room is a waiting room jam packed with people and her pets. Linda is booked pretty much all of tax season and I believe that she is so popular because people leave with decent sized refunds however, she achieves these refunds by fudging numbers on your return.
She added reported almost 7,000 in excess social security for our federal return and then insisted that we only need to accumulate our wage income to the state we live in and not the states we work in which we now realize is COMPLETELY FALSE. I have paid another CPA to do my entire return over again and am still dealing with paying back taxes to three states!
To top it all off she is COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE… I have called and emailed her several times with no response. She finally responded to one email months later saying that the email had gone to her junk mail and she would look into my tax issue but I never heard from her again. I have even gone as far as to go to her house and she elects to not answer the door. It is so ridiculous … She really shouldn’t be doing anyone’s taxes!

She underreported our income for 2008 by more than $ 40,000. It wasn’t caught by the IRS until more than a year later. Resulted in us owing more than $ 1000 in penalties and interest. The only thing she did that helped was, filed the ammended return for us (correcting the error). She made NO offer to help with followup phone calls, emails or forms to the IRS in regard to this incident. She made NO offer to compensate us for ANY portion of the penalties and interest (would have been nice if she had offered to pay half). Repeated voice messages and emails — no use. Not responsive at all.
