    Naresh Harnal is a CPA. On January 2023, he agreed to do payroll for my home child care that I have 2 staff. He agreed to do my business and individual taxes for 2022. I gathered all my tax paperwork and he picked them up from my home on ************************************************* And I emailed the rest of my tax paperwork that I gradually received during months of February 2023.The deadline for filing taxes was April 2023 for the year 2022.End of April he told me I am busy and cant file your taxes. Lets have an extension. I agreed ( he did not inform me that if I have extension, I still have to pay for the interest) but this is not the issue since I was agreed to extension.Then time passed until September 2023 and I followed up with him to see when he is going to do my taxes. I asked him to file it so I can apply for a loan to purchase a house. He did not and always assured me that he is going to file my taxes soon.I asked him when is the deadline for taxes extension? He responded October 30th 2023! Then when it was close to end of October, I started to become worried since my loan officer ***** receive any tax return from Naresh despite of all of our emails and phone calls and texts massages. Finally, he responded my phone call and told me:dont worry! I will finish it soon and email it to you! He never filed my taxes and without my permission, he returned my tax papers to my previous CPA at the beginning of November 2023 which already was too late and IRS charged me $660 for being late on filing my taxes.I asked ****** Harnal to pay me this amount since he was the cause of it, he refused. He caused me lots of damages. He caused my taxes becoming late and he caused me to pay IRS $660 for penalty. He caused me not be able to buy the house that I wanted because he ***** not file my taxes and refused to give my tax papers so I can go to another person to do my taxes and not being late on my tax returns.I hope you can help me with this issue and he will not do it t

    My complaint is against CPA Maresh Harnal

    his email address is:

    ********************************

    his address is:

    26833 166th SE pl

    ********* ** 98042

    he got my tax papers on January 2023 in order to prepare my taxes for 2022

    around April he told me that he can not finish my tax by deadline April 18th so he is going to ask for extension. He lied to me that deadline is October 31st. And he DID NOT request the extension ( I found out he never did)   I found out later that the deadline for individual tax was September 15th and for business was October 15th. ( I own small business/ home child care)

    he kept postponing my taxes despite i begged him to finish it on time. He did not and I ended up paying IRS $660 late penalties.

    I told him it is his fault and he owed this money to money to me. He ignored my request and ignored all means of communication.

    I found his address and went there personally but he didnt pay me back.
