tax prep recommendations

Not sure how kosher this is going to be on the site, but I'm looking for recommendations on a tax preparer in the north metro area. Been using turbo tax the past few years, but just got married last year and tangled up in a small business on top of everything else - i'd like a trained set of eyes to do the work for me this year.

Anyone had good experiences with someone local? I don't want to resort to the walmart kiosk!

It might be against form policy to call out an actual name, please PM or email nelshawn (at) gmail.com if you could!

Thanks for all the great recommendations everyone! Now.. if I can just find one that isn't booked up through march, kinda shot myself in the foot waiting for my W2s to show up before scheduling an appointment!

For that person that I sent you, I dont even make an appt. I just drop off all of my paperwork and normally they call me in about a week with some questions. I tell them the answers and they have them ready in a day or two after that. I still haven't gotten all of my paperwork yet.

My wife and I use Kordiac in Columbia Heights. He's also the County Commissioner (?). He's good and a nice guy. Though I've never done my own taxes since the days of the EZ, I'm going to dig out last years forms and try and do it myself this year. I think.

A bit off your direct topic but I wanted to get the word out. Two of my kids and I have found massive problems with TaxSlayer when they get to the state returns. My son in NY result was a huge hit for state taxes. When I redid mine on Turbotax there was a $7000 swing from what TaxSlayer gave me as a result. We've used the product before and were satisfied but not this year.

Thanks again everyone, missed your PM Powerstroke since I didn't have email notifications turned on.. also was under the assumption that PM's didnt work here but I guess that was wrong!

I ended up giving turbotax a run again, I don't know why I thought it was going to be so complicated with a marital status change but it really wasn't. I'm sure a tax pro could have scored me a few more hidden deductions, but overall the return amount is right where I expected it to be. K-1 forms were handled by an accountant so that was no big deal either.

Now, why in the @!#$%( do I have to wait till the 14th for the IRS to even think about processing my return? That's a bunch of bull-honkey!

Normally I have my refund already by the 14th, but it should still be by the 25th. I already submitted the efile through Turbo Tax and it will go to the feds automatically as soon as they'll accept it on the 14th.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
