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 chose to receive your refund through direct deposit, you should receive it within a week. If you use e-file, your refund should be issued between two and three weeks.

I worked with this firm for one reason, Mr. Lee. The other accountant is nice too, but not as competent unfortunately. Mr. Le is gone now. But for over a year I had to put up with the nastiest receptionist I've ever had to deal with in my life. Every conversation involved her using a condescending tone, brushing me off, or blatantly snapping at me. With Mr. Lee, gone, I finally mentioned it to her and tried to laugh it off, I even try to make her feel better, only to have her hang up on me. As much as I like the accountants, I just don't have the continued patience to deal with someone so emotionally

We paid for a service that was not completed. After searching for an accountant to file our personal taxes as well as estate taxes for a deceased family member we were reassured that Innovative tax would be able to take care of everything for us. We ended up paying more than we were quoted by a lot, which we didn’t argue with. However after not receiving any paperwork back from the personal state taxes for the deceased family member, we checked the state website and realized the taxes were never filed. When I called innovative tax a month and a half ago, I was told everything was all set and

I highly value James and his team at Innovative Tax. I've used their services for years and they are always patient with me (as a non-tax pro taxes are not my favorite thing).
They offer personal service at a great value. They have taken the time over the years to get to know me and my family and know our unique situation. The peace of mind it gives me around filing taxes for our business and personal affairs is invaluable.
We highly recommend!

They started talking a good game prior to me giving them my documents. Then when they gave me the return they had my information wrong and got an attitude with me when I checked them on it. If they are the professionals, I shouldn't have to tell them their numbers are off. They took forever with my return, then it was wrong. A complete waste of time!!!

What an excellent group of professionals. We have been looking for a professional group to guide us through some unknowns in relation to tax codes and owning / operating businesses. This group knows how to guide you through the process as well as point us toward areas of saving Money and being more successful with our businesses. They are very responsive to questions and get the job completed in a timely manner. My only regret is that we did not find them sooner!

I approached Innovative Tax & Accounting after constantly being ignored, put off, and mislead by other accounting firms. Adam, James and Kristina have all been outstanding in regards to my pain points. They are proactive, responsive and very educated when it comes to business planning and taxes. The ROI with Innovative is well worth the investment which is very reasonable for the amount of value you get with this team. They make taxes easy and as painless as possible.
