Eric Yankwitt , advisory tax services My tax Guru He is nowhere to be found and he has filed wrong returns for years. IRS is chasing me and I am working on it personally with IRS now. He is not even releasing my tax returns of the past years. He is n wilton manors, Florida

Eric Yankwitt Liar!  I just looked you up on the Ft Lauderdale BBB, "Tax Advisory Service" specifically is not accredited.  Stay away from that argument.  Speaking of arguments, are you an attorney?  Or do you collect a salary from Ft Lauderdale in the Planning department?  ARe you still part of the travel scam?    insurance agent? An Accountant? Politician?  What the heck are you up to???

Yankwitt claims he's in excellent standing with the BBB for 25 years. This link proves he is not BBB acredited and he has 2 complaints filed against him with the BBB. This man is blatantly lying.

He also tries to worm his way into local politics and charities, most probably to make up for the immense guilt he has seeing as he cheats people and also it's a way for him to earn some respectability, new clients, more money.

He should be ashamed and the Lauderdale By the Sea Chamber of Commerce, local charities and businesses in Fort Lauderdale should be very careful when dealing with him. He's very charming, quiet and has an air of humility about him that makes him the perfect con artist.

He ran for a seat on the county commission this year; probably the worst thing that could possibly happen. Good thing he wasn't elected. He presently sits on the planning and zoning board.

If anyone from the Chamber of Commerce or local government would ever confront him with these allegations he would no doubt use his "quiet/nice guy" persona to brush it off as disgruntled, cheating clients. 

Let's remember; if someone does their job well, you can find accolades somewhere on line. If they're rip off artists, that's what you'll find on line as well. Do the math.

Tread carefully, this man is a predator.

I cannot copy/paste the BBB link in this box. If you would like to see his Better Business Bureau report on line please go to the BBB website and search for Advisory Tax Service Inc. in South Florida. This is the name he's registered under. It lists his office phone which proves it's Eric Yankwitt. 

He never decided not to work for me.

When I called him and told him that IRS had seized funds from my account and that I am going with other people to do the work for me he told me at the phone : Why you will pay 2500 dollars to someone for somethhing that I can do for free for you! you know why free??? I know and he knows, the rest is for you that read that to understand!

Jesus do you remember anything from what happen? That is ok , others are happy with you,  me I am not.

Your ex client

Which I forgot to respond.

HE IS LYING, he never never never never told anything about collections that is a joke. These are statements to make an impression. Why he did not kept quiet I don't understand but so be it.

So A collection for what 500 for corp or another 500 for personal? Really Eric do  you think that you have any power on me,

Show me your records or you haven't gone through them yet. I have what I have paid you since 2000, do you?

You threaten me with collection! now that is entertaining! The only reason I went to the RIPOFF report is because you neglect to follow up, and again if you had so much of complain about my paying habits to you, why you just didn't fire me?? just say, no I am not doing anything! You are fired mister for non payment! But no you like those 200 dollars in your account every month for nothing didn you.  

People mature and people know how to find back with the same weapons that you have.  I have no problem to go in a legal battle with you. Get your records straing and prove me wrong and I will recall everything back.

And by the way I never asked for money back! Not that I recal but I am pretty sure. If you recall, which you don't the payment was for the 2009 and 2010 bill not for the 11, I never paid you for 11. Why I will ask for money back when you had filled the 09 and 10?

Anyway no reason for a lost case, I am done...

your ex client!

1. Empty promises statement:

You have been paid approximately 9000 dollars for filling me taxes corp and personal for 10 years.

You were on payrol of 200 even if I had paid you off. Look at your records (whcih probably you have none in a mess that you have for an office,). Anyway if that makes you feel better so be it,

2. You had said repeatedly that you have called IRS but you couldnt reach anyone, That is a lie.

My new accountants (the first ones and my current) that I paid 2500 (the first ones) to speak with IRS told me that you had never called IRS and the IRS agent told them that nobody had contacted her. There fore they put a lien and empty my account.

Why? because for four months that I was calling you and asking you to call them you were saying yes I am (as a friend that you stated that you were) but you never did. You just hang me. To busy with the law, too busy with you politics, who knows definitely had nothing to do with empty promises and you being tired of it.

And if you were tired of my bull... why you just didn't tell me so. just tell me, I don;t want to represent you, not just say that you are and then you don't, which costed me about 6000 in fees and penalties till I short it out. Any person that read your respond I am sure that he thought the same. Why he didn't let go the guy? Something doesn't click right here!!!

All is paid and IRS if fine with me and my company. My new accountant short out everything with me, got paid on flat fee according the time she puts on not because you think that here in Florida we are all idiots and crookness is part of life!!!!

IRS is not a monster they just want someone to come in contact with them and you never did!

3. Bankruptsy: You should know better not to mention that. Why because you know the reason. You know about the illegal loans taken on my behalf and me not having the financial power to fight a bank. Paul the laywer that was in your building handle it and I have all the records and depositions. It was a tactical move not that I had trouble. Shame on you, desperate measures for desperate people.

4. IRS had no record that you even called them. The solution was so easy. Make a payment plan the first time I called you and I told you that the bill that they sent me made no sense. You had advice me that I pay ADP a certain amount every month plus their fee (and that you will drop your fee down if so, which you didn't) which I was doing and IRS couldn't find the payments that I was paying to ADP. I had to get involved personally to find out where my money were going for a year and a half from ADP.

6. You formed my corp, you applied for my tax ID number you had the records of everything. So you were the one that were placing the numbers on the tax returns. But I have to be honest. The TAX ID number at the end didn't make any difference. the first number 551 or 651 don't change where funds are applied or what IRS is working with so at the end on that no harm done.

But again, you stated that I gave you the numbers when you were actually the one that had give everything to me. You had the power of attorney to do so. 

I am really sorry but I have moved on, mistakes are done, people fail, life is too short to keep on going with grudges.

And I don't have time to spent for something that happened 2 years ago and that I have taken care off, 

I am ok with your service provided it up to 2011 cause till then one way or another the job was done, but when you cost me money don't expect me to be nice.

Regards,

Your ex (Thank GOD!)  client

I have used Eric's services the last few years and have never had any kind of issue with him. He was very courteous and handled everything in a timley maner...never had any kind of issue with him and will continue to use his services.

He stole my deposit money for work he never performed, I'd love to know if you ever tracked him down or if this was resolved for you.  I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau on him for my own issue with Eric Yankwitt, but that does not get me back the money he stole
