Services
We take great care and pride in helping people get the most tax deductions and credits on their tax returns. Whether you are an individual who has not filed for several years, or you need a business tax return filed for your sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, S-corp, or C-corporation, we will be diligent and thorough in looking for all the possible expenses we can take.
It can be a cause of great concern and worry when you receive an IRS notice. You are not sure what your accountant did, or how your tax returns were prepared, since the IRS usually takes a long time to contact you regarding a mistake or an omission on a tax return. The worst thing you can do is to do nothing, because you are paralyzed by worry or by lack of knowledge on how to resolve the issue.
The first reason for bookkeeping and accounting is to make tax filing as easy as possible. You want to be able to present an organized and clear spreadsheet or financial statement that shows your income and expenses for the year. The second reason for clear and detailed financial records is to analyze your cash flow and to see where you can improve your business financial health.
If you are a nonresident and have a tax filing requirement, but you are unable to receive a social security number, then you need an ITIN. As an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent, John Ro is able to help nonresidents with their ITIN applications. Give us a call and we will see if you, your spouse, or your children qualify to be included on the tax returns.

I was extremely remiss about the small amount of reviews my Yelp community has posted about John Ro, EA. In case you don't know what an EA is compared to a CPA. An EA is a Tax Practitioner whom is licensed at the federal level by the IRS and it is the highest credential awarded by the IRS. With that said, I've used many CPA's and a just a couple of EA's and have gotten substantially better returns from EA's. They truly know what you can do and cannot do in regards to the IRS as they are specialists with the IRS. CPA's are only licensed by their State Boards of accountancy

John is extremely knowledgeable, fast, and efficient. He was consistent with his follow-up with me, and could not have been more professional. It was an extremely stress free experience which I was worried about. I relocated myself, and my business last year, so there were multiple items to be itemized. I also wasn't aware of many of the new restrictions that were put in place in 2018/19, and John explained the changes to me. I highly recommend John, you will be very pleased!

Still getting my taxes done here every year. Still pleased. John Ro is helpful, efficient, and friendly. He makes the necessary evil of getting the taxes done easier and more pleasant. His rates are also reasonable especially for this part of town. His office has moved to Michigan Avenue near Lake Street, and I prefer this location to the location of his previous office.

Very professional - completed our tax reports in the speed of light. Was super helpful and responsive and saved us a lot of money! When one of our tax reports that we sent got lost in the mail and never reached the IRS he quickly prepared all of our documents again, even the envelopes with the addresses on, with no extra charge. Great guy. will definitely work with him again next year.

Best find in Chicago!
After a new job, corporate move, new home office, two state income tax filings, and an increasingly difficult federal tax filing this year due to all those changes, I sought out John Ro for tax preparation assistance. He is great! Not only were all my tax returns prepared efficiently and quickly, but he helped me understand how to think about home office/business deductions and plan for 2015.
I usually dread tax season and obsess over all the possible savings I may have left on the table, but with John, this year was worry-free and painless. He offered me a $50 discount

Very poor experience . Made my appointment at 9 am on a Saturday morning , should have know he was unprofessional when he showed up late. I asked up front the cost , and was told $150 for personal returns and $75 per extra form. My prior year returns were two from a ( personal and small business ) so I was expecting a $225 bill. After meeting with him and sending all my information, I notice there is a very careless mistake amounting to a meaningful amount of money. I made an appointment to see him again to discusses this error , and once again , he was late. I had to point out the error to him

I probably called 10 different tax places, before I decided on John. I was sick of heading out to the suburbs to get it done, and really wanted to find someone local in the city but prices seem super high in comparison to the suburbs. I found John to be very reasonable and loved that he was downtown. He did mine, my boyfriend's, and my parent's tax returns. I appreciate how thorough he is as he summarizes the form afterwards and explains where the numbers were coming from. He provided printouts of information in regards to the additional questions we asked. He was very flexible and accommodating
