WorthTax

The Worst Experiences

I like or dislike what I like or dislike and I’m satisfied with that. Particularly, I’ve never wanted to negatively review anyone; I believe that people are people, and as long as you act in good faith, bad experiences happen (mostly never intentional) and it’s not being a good local citizen when you decry someone’s business when they’re trying their best (or even having a bad day).

All of that ended today with my experience with WorthTax, the worst and most unprofessional experience I have ever had with a financial institution in my life.

Our initial meeting was fine, if not a bit casual. We spent an hour going through my finances with a fine tooth comb.

I had recently moved from NY so had dual state income and in addition my wife worked remotely – so continued NY income while working in MA.

I also bought a house this year in Weymouth (beautiful area) and had dabbled with cryptocurrency as well.

I’m a TurboTax guy and given my particularly complex situation, wanted to rely on a professional.

My intention was to form a local relationship and grow that over the years, given a lot of upcoming financial events in my life i am anticipating.

Well, let me tell you: my experience SUCKED and I won’t be returning.

1. I received an email from my tax professional, asking for copies of my wife and I’s ID’s, about a week after our meeting.

My tax professional did not delete a previous thread in his email, and scrolling through, I saw that he had been condescendingly joking about my tax situation with other members of his team, IN AN EMAIL, and didn’t delete it.

I 100% get workplace banter and chit-chatting about clients – but seeing this chatter in an email to a client was highly unprofessional.

I ended up responding and making reference to the email.

I received a voicemail with an apology, but writing it off as typical boys will be boys type stuff.

I call bullshit. Not good enough. Am I really supposed to trust a guy with my financials that’s stupid enough to cc me on an email shit talking me?

2. In the same voicemail (after our hour long conversation and after he had worked on my taxes), he told me I should expect a return of about $3400.

When I went to pick them up, the return had shrunk over 50% to $1500.

He claims that “after diving deeper into my numbers the return ended up being less than expected”.

We had spoken in detail about everything in my tax return for an hour, he had looked at them before leaving me that voicemail (nothing changed from our first convo to today), and then all of a sudden they’re WAY lower than expected.

I don’t necessarily call bullshit, but he was off by over 50%. Eh, maybe a bit of bullshit.

3. Again, after spending over an hour going line by line through my finances (again, he was clear on absolutely everything and nothing changed), I was told my return would cost $400 – which in itself is astronomically high.

Went to go pick them up today – $635!!!!!!!! And that’s AFTER a $100 courtesy and $50 new client discount. Fuck that.

Look, I’m an easy client – give me what you advertise, be honest with me, and we can have a mutually beneficial relationship.

I’m not saying that WorthTax sucks – I’m sure that a lot of their folks are nice and are actually trying to build client relationships built on trust.

But based on my experience, as a new Weymouth resident looking for a tax professional I can trust and grow with, I will NEVER return to WorthTax.

They’re unprofessional, sneaky about pricing, and dishonest. Stay away.

Stick to TurboTax – the extra stress is more than worth the lies, false estimates, and unprofessionalism that exists there.

To recap:

1. I caught my tax guy shit talking my financial situation with colleagues in an email. Do you really trust your finances with a guy that’s stupid enough to do that?

2. Was told my return would cost $400 – it cost over $600. Liar liar.

3. Was told my return would be about $3400. It was $1500. Way off. Lucky for me I didn’t book the vacation I was going to with the expectation of a $3400 return.

On the plus side, the desk girl was nice.

  2. Bad Service Provide

    I understand the value of honest reviews, but have never been moved one way or another to offer my opinion on anything. I like or dislike what I like or dislike and I’m satisfied with that. Particularly, I’ve never wanted to negatively review anyone;

    I believe that people are people, and as long as you act in good faith, bad experiences happen (mostly never intentional) and it’s not being a good local citizen when you decry someone’s business when they’re trying their best (or even having a bad day).
