Taxamize Accounting LLC Andre Amos Company had no office space to file tax returns. Address on returns- residential home. Tax Preparers not licensed by IRS. Company claimed IRS had freeze on TPIN#. Misleading advertisement Atlanta, Georgia

 I HAD MY TAXES PREPARED IN FEB 2013.  I LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE SO MY TAXES WERE PROCESS VIA EMAIL AND FAX.  I DECIDED TO HAVE MY RETURN PUT ON A PRE PAID CARD.  I WAS TOLD THE CARD WOULD BE MAILED TO ME BEFORE IRS SENT THE MONEY TO THERE BANKS AND THIER BANK WOULD RELEASE IT TO PRE-PAID CARD.  COUPLE OF DAYS WENT BY AND STILL NO CARD.  I CALLED AND THEY SAID THEY SENT IT TO THE WRONG ADDRESS AND IT WAS RETURNED TO THEM.  SO I THEN TOLD THEM JUST PUT IT IN MY BANK ACCOUNT.  THEN TAXAMIZE SAID THEY WOULD RELEASE A PORTION OF THE MONEY TO MY BANK BUT THE REST HAD TO BE VERIFIED BECAUSE SOME DOCUMENTS WERE MISSING( WHICH TOTALLY DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME).  A PORTION WAS RELEASED TO MY ACCOUNT.  THEN ADDITIONAL FORMS WERE COMPLETED.  I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT HADN'T RECIEVED THEIR REFUNDS YET.  THE COMPANY DECIDED TO RELEASE THE CHECKS INORDER BY LAST NAME FROM MAY 2013- AUG 2013.  I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE REST OF MY RETURN.  I CAN'T GET ANYONE TO RETURN MY CALLS OR EMAILS.  I CONTACTED THE FRANCHISE OWNER VIA EMAILS AND FILED A COMPLAINT. SHE RESPONSED TO MY EMAIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO SAYING SHE WAS FIXING THE PROBLEM AND WILL BE SENDING ME MY REFUND AND A 500 GIFT CARD FOR MY INCONVENIENCE.  I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS THROUGH EMAILS.  I CALLED STATES ATTORNEY TO FILE A REPORT.  WWW.CONSUMER.GA.GOV . 

I DID A LITTLE MORE RESEARCH AND CALLED THE BANK ADVENT FINANICAL SERVICE.  THEY TOLD ME THEY RELEASED THE FUNDS TO A PRE PAID CARD IN MARCH.  THEY CHECKED THE CARD AND IT HAD A ZERO BALANCE.  IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE TAX PREPARER OR MANAGER OR BOTH NEVER MAILED ME THE CARD.  THEY WAITED UNITL THE BANK RELEASED THE MONEY TO THE CARD AND WITHDREW EVERYTHING AT ONCE.  THEY GOT TIRED OF ME CALLING ABOUT MY MONEY.  THEY PAID ME A PORTION OF MY MONEY TO GET ME TO STOP CALLING BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK.  I AM NOT GIVING UP ON THIS AND IF I WERE YOU READING THIS I WOULDN'T EITHER.  SO CONTACT THE STATE ATTORNEY WHERE THE COMPANY IS AND ALSO CALL THE BANK ADVENT FINANCIAL AND PUT IN A CLAIM.  WE AS CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF YOU HAVE RIGHTS. 

This company has not delivered on any of their promises. There has been no changes on original complaint filed. Company claimed to give Tax Preparers trip to Bahamas for doing a certain number of returns. they never came through on their advertisement. Beware when doing business with this company. They will rip you off and have Clients and Tax Preparers do business with them and not stadn good on their promises.

It is a shame the company entices people to do business with them and flake out. Andre Amos Crooks does not use his last name and I see why=Crooks indicates exactly what they are. Talk to the many people involved with them and you will have quiet a few of them upset about the way they handle business. but it is fine cause am filing a lawsuit against them demanding my money back for misleading the public and preparers thinking they were doing business with a reputable company. Stay away from them!

I want to make a correction about my review about Taxamize. I was extremely upset and disgruntle with this company, because I faulted Taxamize for the delay of my tax refund. I did not know what else to do exept make a Rip-Off Report, but I later found out that the IRS had started to carefully evaluate tax returns midway through the season. 

The IRS delayed the disbursal of returns due to stricter policies. I want to apologize if I have cuased this company any problems because of my momentary anger.

I have received my tax return and was satisfied with the result. I was upset about it coming later than expected, but I now realize after speaking to the IRS, that tax preparation companies cannot control the review time of returns. 

I will make sure to thoroughly check up on the status of delayed returns with the IRS before jumping to conclusions and making faulty claims about tax firms. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings. 

Thanks
