  Dealing with my delinquency has been very stressful, but very necessary.I have not made great decisions along the way.***, *****, and team have been professional throughout.This is a stressful process. Trust them and treat them as humans. They'll return that treatment and have done so for me.

  WATAX saved me over $45,000 with the *** by providing me accurate counsel that my own accounting firm (located in another state) did not. The WATAX team member I worked with is simply brilliant when it comes to *** regulations. And she is most effective in getting results most economically. Her ability to gain access to the *** and communicate with them is most effective to the point I do not know how it could be any more effective! I highly recommend WATAX and specifically ***********************************!

  I moved to ********** in August from ********. Running a small online business and moving across country mid year with new tax regulations gave me anxiety. I planned to finish out 2022 with my ******** accountants that I had been working with for three years, but in December they completely dropped the ball and totally crashed my online QuickBooks account.Needless to say with one month left in the year, rather than try and re-do everything with a ** based firm, I reached out to *** at ** Tax Services and explained my situation. I was extremely worried about having my business and personal taxes done properly but he walked me through all of the steps, made time for phone calls as needed so that I could make a smart decision in switching accounting firms.Their entire team was phenomenal with helping me provide all of the documents needed to file my year end taxes, pay any ** state obligations and make sure I was set up for *** taxes, which was completely foreign to **** have been working with **** ever since and she is amazing. Back in ********, my accountants were kind of a pay us monthly, set it and forget it kind of thing. They never really explained anything nor did I have any real understanding of my monthly financials. It was hard to get answers from my ******** firm. So I had a ton of questions. **** has really gone above and beyond to make me comfortable and help educate me on the ** laws as well as teach me how to better use QuickBooks online so that I can self manage as much as I am comfortable with while she handles all of the heavy lifting / accounting needs.I am very pleased with the service of this company and it's employees and look forward to a fruitful partnership

  I appreciated the quick response from WATAX once I was referred to them. Within 15 minutes I was contacted, and an appointment was set up to discuss my tax concerns. The process of providing documents to be reviewed was seamless and the fee for the service provided was reasonable and well worth the peace of mind in having a professional go over 8 years of tax returns to ensure that everything was in order. They also provided useful information about other tax questions beyond the initial issue. I highly recommend them.

  We have been working with WATAX for 3+ years now and have nothing but praise. They respond promptly to all of our inquiries which is something that happens infrequently with most businesses. We are really impressed by their professional approach and over-the-top thoroughness. I would highly recommend it to anyone needing professional accounting services.

  i used WATax services to file my taxes and to assist with the Debt Relief program. The company never finished the debt relief portion and charged me an additional $1000. When I requested a refund they respond stating they were still processing my paper and waiting for additional information.After requesting a refund again, I was told I will not get a refund because of the time spent. I was never informed of this until i requested a refund again .
