Tax Center

Was referred here by a (former) friend who recommended we meet with Pat Lahr. First meeting went well, but within a few days my wife and I began to worry.
Pat (who was hard to get hold of by phone or email) would call asking the same basic info such as DOB and SSN for me and my wife. This was the first info we gave her when we met with her. I saw her write it down! The fact that she could not keep track of basic info was our first concern. And every conversation the dollar amounts changed. From one phone call to the next how much we would owe or get back kept changing. And which it would be!
It was close to April 15^th, and we were worried it was too late to start over with someone new so we hoped for the best. Then Pat calls to say she is behind on her work, and she wants us to file an extension because she THINKS we won’t owe anything. Again, this is not reassuring.
We made it through the process eventually, and got some money back. However, there were larger issues that did not come up until 1 year later.
We just received a letter from the IRS about our taxes being paid incorrectly. It turns out Pat put the wrong name on some of the forms, overstated out income, and left out a bunch of deductions we asked her to add. We didn’t catch this the first time, because my wife and I are not tax accountants. This is WHY we hire someone else to do it for us!
We’re now having to completely redo our return, and pay someone else to do it, since I don’t trust Tax Center at all.
Avoid this place like the plague!

I read the two reviews I don’t know this Pat that you are talking about but I do know Karen Michel. We have gone to her for many years and we have always been very happy. She found things because she asks questions that no one else ever found. This company used to be called Triple Check now it’s the tax center. I can’t speak for anyone else who works there except Karen and we are very pleased.

Where do I start? Over 4000.00 in late fees to the IRS because Pat Lahr was unable to complete my personal taxes in a timely manner. What a joke… I rather go to H&R block and have some kid out school do my taxes. Trying to get a hold of her is like pulling teeth!!! And when you do get a hold of her all she says is «don’t worry» YEAh because it’s not her money!!! So now I’m left with a big mess she didn’t fix that I paid her in full to deal with. I would never ever use this place and Pat Lahr again!!! Fraud…

This is the new home of my CPA Pat Lahr. She is wonderful! She has gotten more money back for me than ANYONE I’ve ever used. The staff at this place rock as well. I got a leaflet that my girl had moved into her new office here, giving me the new address, phone number, and my tax apt date. I lost that thing and found it a million times before my apt, and couldn’t remember what my day or time was. I called and bugged non stop (to the point where I was getting on my OWN nerves! LOL) They never once got annoyed and were sweet each time. Once I got there, like a fool I didn’t read the parking sign on the street. I run in to get my taxes on with Pat,
un aware that where I’m parked is the towing/​ticket danger zone. One of the other CPA’s came in and told me that my truck was in danger and that the tow/​ticket is $ 450.00!!! I run… my truck was the only one left!!! YAY! I re-​park on the side street, come back in to find that my Pat was finished calculating! I’m getting even more back this year!!! I LOVE PAT!!! YAY!!!
