When will you receive your refund? The answer depends on how you filed your return. The IRS should issue your refund check within six to eight weeks of filing a paper return. If you use e-file, your refund should be issued between two and three weeks. If you chose to receive your refund through direct deposit, you should receive it within a week.
Preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers. According to a study released by the US Government's General Accounting Office last year, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million taxpayers) believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer. Whether we like it or not, today's tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple return can be confusing.
Planning is the key to successfully and legally reducing your tax liability. We go beyond tax compliance and proactively recommend tax saving strategies to maximize your after-tax income. We make it a priority to enhance our mastery of the current tax law, complex tax code, and new tax regulations by attending frequent tax seminars.
Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited should be required reading for anyone thinking about starting a business or for those who have already taken that fateful step. The title refers to the author's belief that entrepreneurs--typically brimming with good but distracting ideas--make poor business people.

I have had my taxes done at VerBout three years in a row now, but this year was my last. I scheduled my appointment for February 24th (I am confident in this as it was repeated back to me), but when I arrived I was informed that my appointment was actually March 24th. I imagine that since the days of those months are the same, the receptionist either told me or recorded it incorrectly. I will give credit with this situation, however, as my preparer nicely “squeezed me in” so I wouldn’t have to come back. There was an item that needed to be double checked by my preparer, so I left the appointment

I am absolutely shocked at how poor the customer service was that I just received from Karl. Go somewhere else, anywhere else.
I provided all of my documents via their portal. I then, received a call from an office Admin letting me know that my taxes are done. I asked to speak to Karl to ask a man for few questions, being the ONLY direct interaction throughout the process. He said that “he didn’t have time for this” and “that I called him at a bad time.” In fact, they called me two times in 10 minutes out of the blue on a Sunday, where it was me trying you accommodate their time.

My husband and I have used Kerry at VerBout for our taxes the last two years and she was incredible to work with. I just had an appointment for my own small business, had to bring my two small kids, and she was the best. She was patient with my kids and showed grace and understanding to me when I really didn't know much about the tax/business side of my creative small business. Highly recommend working with her.
