I called Starks for help on tax situation I was not familiar with. Susan seemed to know exactly what to do. I asked about cost after we discussed what I needed done and Susan quoted $200.I scheduled the appointment and brought my documents to her and was surprised to have her do my taxes while I waited. She said it would take about 20 minutes. It took about one hour to complete because she had software issues and I was then handed a bill for $325. I questioned the billing as I was quoted $200. Her explanation was a Schedule C was necessary to file and no other explanation as to why she didnt include the additional fee in the quote she gave me over the phone. As my taxes were complete I did not argue and paid the $325 for the one hour worth of work. $325 per hour seems quite high for simple taxes consisting of social security income and part time work for Instacart especially after being quoted much less. If you choose this company and are quoted over the phone I would recommend requesting an email before you go to your appointment to avoid an overcharge. Or just choose another company. It isnt worth it. And they dont seem to care or value integrity .

We met with Susan and honestly walking in and just seeing her 100$ bill carpet just showed us that we were in good hands. Susan was super friendly and made this whole scary situation seem fun and light and we walked out of the office with all our questions answered, our taxes filed, and a new place that we will come back to next year. Thank you Susan!

I’ve been seeing all kinds of tax professionals for the last 18 years- from non- profit to corporate preparers. When my previous tax consultant sold his business I was in search for another honest professional in the tax world. After several weeks of researching different tax preparers I came across Stark Tax Services, after reading his reviews I felt like he was the type of tax professional that I would like to do business with. I placed a call in, and was routed to Chris Stark (the owner of the business) within 15 minutes he was able to evaluate my previous 18 years of tax records, and proceeded to schedule an appointment for me that same day. Unlike the other big tax corporate competitors Chris took his time to learn about all facets of my life to include; martial disposition, child custody/child care credits, rental properties, military overseas service, and college credits (where applicable). I never felt like he was rushing my return, but rather his services were predicated upon the quality of the product. With that being said, from start to finish Chris was able to process two years of tax returns in exactly one week. I can’t speak highly enough about the Stark Tax Services professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the customers expectations are met. I highly recommend Stark Tax Services for anyone searching for an honest and reliable tax preparer.

I am the executor of an estate for my family. New to this, I needed forms for my siblings and myself, to file with our individual taxes. A north Colorado Springs tax service said that they could help me right away, so I brought them the requested paperwork. After 2 weeks, they said that they needed the original IRS form granting the estate tax ID. This seemed odd, as they had the estate tax ID on the 1099s Id provided them, and they took my word at my siblings and my SS account numbers. Well, the estate tax ID number form had been shredded / was unavailable. After quite a runaround, I drove in and picked up all my tax info from this tax service. I called BBB recommended Stark Tax Service. Chris Stark reviewed my tax papers and got to work immediately! No, I did not need the original estate tax ID form, as the correct ID number was present on 1099s, etc. Chris had this problem solved in 5 days. He took my urgency (due to dithering, time wasting previous tax service) seriously. Stark Tax Service was: Knowledgeable, fast, in constant contact, courteous and EMPATHETIC! Such genuine customer service is rare in this day and age. Yes, I would recommend Stark Tax Service to anyone.

Chris was integral in my nephew being able to be completely enrolled in the university he had already started attending. My nephew was told he needed tax documents concerning his parents by a certain day or he would be dis-enrolled. My nephew was extremely upset as he had already placed all the scholarships and grants he had received from different places as well as the financial help the school was giving him “dependent “ on his parents’ tax history. Chris is very knowledgeable about laws governing taxes. He called the school and explained the reason my nephew couldn’t supply the documents they were adamant about getting. My nephew’s parents were exempt from filing taxes due to laws governing income/type of income. Chris made the phone call to the school immediately after I called him and explained my nephew’s situation and explained the reasons why the requested documents were unavailable and the tax laws covering those reasons. The school immediately called my nephew to the office and withdrew their demand for the documents and gave my nephew everything he needed to be FULLY REGISTERED and a FULL TIME STUDENT! My nephew and I are very grateful to Chris for his efforts on my nephew’s behalf. Chris is not only extremely knowledgeable in tax law; he is also a very personable man and works for his client’s best interest. We will go to Stark Tax Preparation for anything concerning our tax issues!

Mr. Stark is what all businesses should be like. I had a mess of taxes from another tax service and was stress and frustrated. With his wonderful sense of humor and extreme knowledge, I felt so much more relax. He took his time explaining everything to me in a way I could understand, without charging me! He was very kind and genuine. I saw his compassion for helping others way above just about the dollar. Its people like him we need more in this world, not just because he provided me with great advice, but cause he is the change the world needs. I definitely can say I will be using his service for now on.

Chris was more worried about talking about his glory days and getting referral fees for his payroll company (that he admittedly doesn’t even use himself) than he was about helping us. While trying to pay our taxes, we had one simple question about which button to press that he definitely should have easily known the answer to. He told me that I should pay $200 a month to his partnered payroll company to get that answer. We weren’t in a position to do that so we tried to figure it out ourselves. Now we are facing issues with the IRS because we paid our taxes incorrectly.

The tax firm I had been using for several years went through some personnel changes and I found myself looking for a new company. I researched several possible companies and was surprised to find only one company whose owner took the time to personally respond to every review posted about his company….favorable or not. This spoke volumes to me about the level of professionalism one might get on their tax returns so I gave Chris Starks a try. I was impressed by the fact that I wasnt treated like a cattle call as I had been at my previous tax preparer firm. I was even more impressed by Chris proactive approach to preparing my returns and in depth knowledge of tax codes that allowed for more deductions than ever before that reduced my tax liability to practically zero…. first time ever in years! Heck, I even got back a State tax refund (can’t recall the last time that has happened). My only regret is that I have not been using Chris Starks firm to prepare my taxes for the past several years. Would I recommend Chris Starks? I think the answer is hands down obvious…hell yeah!

As repeat customers of Stark Tax Services my wife and I highly recommend Chris and his staff. They handled our taxes involving multiple states and properties making it easy for us.

Chris was super great. I was worried because I had 3 states I had to file with, and he just dominated my taxes! I was amazed at the speed he filed them.... literally in the same week and got me double what I made the previous year. Not only is he great at his job, but he is super personable and a very very nice man. I would recommend him 100%!Rachel

We had been doing our own taxes for several years using TurboTax but wont go back to that again! Chris was able to find us some deductions that we didnt even know about and hadnt considered.

My wife and I switched to Stark Tax Services for the 2018 tax year after being with another renown tax service for the last 8 years. The results were immediate as it was easy to get an appointment, and Mr Stark was straight forward, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The preparation of our taxes took only days instead of weeks and the results were far more satisfactory than have been for the last eight years. We shouldve switch to Stark Tax Services years ago.

We trusted this other tax prep company to prepare and file our back taxes for us, we discovered that after a year later, our taxes STILL WAS NOT COMPLETE, let alone FILED. All we got for the money we paid, was excuses, missing and bad information and how we need to do the leg work which we paid them to do. Needless to say, we found another tax preparer ( Mr. Starks Tax Services ) and he got our tax situation prepared, filed and resolved within about a month. And with the promise that if any questions come up that hed be there to help answer them form the IRS. His professionalism and hard work and actual concern for his clients is evident. Id highly recommend Starks Tax Services Inc for tax needs.

Chris was great! We have some tax situations that are a bit complicated with owning a rental property and selling our house after owning it for less than 2 yrs. and having capital gains taxes to pay because of that.... Chris was so knowledgeable and wonderful about explaining things and finding ways to lessen the impact and get the maximum on our returns. Highly recommend him!

We have enlisted the services of Stark Tax Services for two years now—three if you count an amended return. All the returns were completed quickly and were accepted without correction by the IRS. This year we gathered our necessary documents less than a week before the filing deadline and, despite being busy with all the other late filers, Stark got the return done with time to spare. In addition to receiving professional treatment we enjoy our meetings with Chris Stark who makes us feel like more than customers; he treats us as friends. Our dealings with Stark make accommodating the requirements of the IRS a bit less painful.

Had a really good experience with Chris at Stark Tax Services. In the past I have always done my taxes myself but this time needed to talk thru a complicated tax situation and Chris was a great help. It was so refreshing to speak with someone that knew the tax code inside and out. Chris gave me some solid advice about the way forward. I was a bit apprehensive about picking a firm off an internet search, but then I read a rating where Stark was rated in the top 20 tax companies out of 103 in Colorado Springs. I also like that they are upfront about maintaining the highest ethical standards above all else. If you have some tax needs, give Chris a call!

My husband and I attempted to file our taxes on our own this year. After spending time trying to do so, and becoming increasingly more frustrated and confused, we decided to contact Chris Stark. He welcomed our family into his office, lightened the mood with his sense of humor and did a spectacular job with our tax preparation and filing. He’s professional and thorough. We truly look forward to working with him in the years to come.

Review №27

I hadnt filed taxes in quite a few years. I went to Chris and he was able to not only get my taxes filed, he got my penalties reduced to nearly nothing. Chris is an absolute master when it comes to nuances in the Tax Code! That alone makes him an incredible asset to have in your corner.I would recommend Chris Stark to anyone who needs tax work done; whether its getting caught up on a few years of being behind to simple, everyday tax filings. He makes it look easy. He also makes it affordable.

Review №28

When I walked into Chris Stark’s office, I was years behind on my taxes and carried so much overwhelming anxiety and fear over it. It had grown into this big monster in my mind and I didn’t even know where to start.First was the consultation and full tax interview with Mr. Stark. He didn’t rush me or gloss over anything, he really tried to get an understanding of everything he needed to know to get a full picture of my tax situation. He helped me understand exactly what information I needed to locate and broke it down into a manageable list of small, achievable pieces. He explained how the IRS works when it comes to payments and payment schedules and really eased my mind about that part of the process.During the tax interview, Mr. Stark typed up a quote for me that broke down the cost and outlined what would need to be paid when. I knew exactly what to expect and the final figure didn’t deviate at all from the original estimate. Their rates are very reasonable.After the interview, Mr. Stark checked in with me every week to ask about my progress in gathering information. He was prompt and thorough in answering any questions I had, and he was always kind and pleasant to speak with.They said the work on their end would take about a week after I had gotten all of the necessary information into them, and it didn’t take even that long - I got the final info into them on a Tuesday evening (with that Thursday being the 4th of July and the beginning of a holiday weekend) and it was completed on the following Monday. And just like that, years of slow-burning panic and overwhelm gone.Furthermore, the deductions they found were amazing and reduced my tax liability down to figures I didn’t think possible. When I asked how they did it, Mr. Stark’s response was “Just by using the tax law.” They really know their stuff!Stark Tax Services is a family business, with the personal touch and care of a small business that truly values their clients. They are something very special. I am so thankful I found them and I will absolutely be returning to them for all of my tax needs in the future.

Review №35

I use a gentleman to prepare my taxes named Jeff Fry. He works for Chris, the owner, who was very knowledgeable and accurate about his services and how my taxes work. Suffice to say, his fees are pretty reasonable. The fees he charges to do your taxes is all based on the amount of work he needs to do, but I can tell you that he is cheaper than the big boys like H&R Block, T Rowe Price, or Charles Schwab.Something also worth noting is that Chris also went above & beyond to try to get the maximum refund back for me by asking for any educational, child, and/or home improvement credits I had in the year. I find that very refreshing, as there are many tax preparers out there who will forget or simply not care about those items - they just work with what you bring them only. If you live in the Springs and dont know who can do your taxes for you, give this guy a try. Good experience.

Wonderful customer service!!!My husband and I procrastinated getting our taxes done. So the end of May we made a appointment and was asked to leave all my tax records. Although hesitant, we left them. We were told maybe we would get our taxes done by the due date, but if not Mr Stark would file an extension. That made me worry because every year we have had to pay taxes in CA for a rental and have not gotten a refund in over 5 years.Well I got a call a couple of days before TAX DAY and my taxes were done. The better news no taxes had to be paid in CA and I got a good chunk of change from the IRS. So look on other review boards This guy is HONEST and knows the business very well. Dont go to the supermarket Tax guys, you do not mean nothing to them, Chris is personable and works for You and your I interests.Toni n RayUpdate...We are so sorry to hear that Chris Stark passed away on Monday. The business lives on, but its not the same without you Chris.Rest in peace.Our condolences to the Stark family.

Mr. Stark has been the most unprofessional tax preparer I’ve dealt with. He didn’t even complete my work correctly. When I showed up to his office it looked like a tornado went through it. There were papers everywhere and it was completely disorganized. I personally think hes living in his office. I’d stay far away from this office and go find a reputable CPA to work with. I honestly think he believes he’s better than all the people he encounters. I’ve honestly never met a more condescending and pompous person in my life. I think hes making up for his extremely “small” hands. As far as I’m concerned I’m surprised he’s even still in business last I saw his trailer was in foreclosure...I would never trust someone that can’t even manage their own finances. I’m sure Mr. Stark will claim he’s never done business with me and he has no idea who I am and has never heard of me that’s currently his MO.

Terrific experience in dealing with Chris Stark!! Very seldom, at least in my life, do I happen to come across a true professional who takes your concerns to heart and diligently works on the issues and informs you of each step along the way! Thats how Chris Stark worked with me and, from word of mouth, seems to comport himself with his clientele. After our transaction was concluded, I felt so comfortable with Chris that I now feel as thought I have a friend in the business! Thats a reassuring and comforting feeling!I cant speak highly enough about Chris and Stark Tax Services! Actually, I had dealt with several other companies, but Chris Stark was the only tax professional to provide the level of insight that was needed for my complicated situation. His knowledge made all of the difference in getting a resolution to a nagging problem that NOBODY else could get resolved. I was so very fortunate to have come across his path!

Stark Tax Service is aguably Colorado Springs premier income tax one stop solution. there are 4 reasons for this bold statement. First the owner Chris Stark has the advantage of 2 generations of Tax knowledge. this is not his first rodeo. he followed in the foot steps of his father who departed 30 years of technical and empirically learned knowledge to his son, Chris has seen it all. Second CHRIS is a very disciplined rigorous personality that employees the most sophisticated tax software. Third Chris has common since and is creative. In short he will get you the maximum refund without putting you in legal jeopardy. Last he is ethical. Anyone can make a mistake even Chris. If this rare occasion happens Chris fixes it on his dime. On my 2017 return he was able to prove to IRS a long term sock gain rather than short term, the result was a $700 tax reduction. I an sure Chris can meet your tax service highest expectations.

Chris at Stark Tax Services prepared my and my fiances income taxes this year. We have used big name tax services in the past, as well as the DIY software, and neither can hold a candle to the service we received from Chris. He worked diligently to ensure that not only were our taxes correct, but that we were taking advantage of the most favorable deductions, etc. He is both extremely knowledgeable and highly ethical and worked very hard on our somewhat complex return. He caught several issues that Im sure would have gone unnoticed by others (and certainly by ourselves), and because of this diligence we went from owing a significant amount to receiving a nice refund. We wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a tax preparation service that you strongly consider Stark Tax Services.

Review №71

I am HIGHLY impressed with the professionalism and integrity of Mr. Chris Stark. I went into his office on Saturday due to a complicated tax situation I had that stemmed from two years ago. The reason why I went in on Saturday, was because he has made provision for me to see him during the weekend so that I could get my issues addressed and resolved as soon as possible. Mr. Stark was very attentive and considerate of my needs from the very start. Although I had not given him much time to correct the amendments, he worked through the entire weekend to get my amendments corrected, sent to the IRS via priority mails and receive acknowledgement reciept from the IRS. I even learned that I will receive a substantial refund, due to the amendment. I will definitely return for my future tax requirements, as he has inherited my business from this point out. What a great experience from start to finish. Thank you Mr. Stark.Your professionalism shine through, and your silent motto are even more apparent: Great people as you would like to be treated.Thank you for treating my situation as if it were your own. I am extremely satisfied with your services. Your work ethic is refreshing, honest and unparalleled.

Im extremely happy with the decision I made to come to Stark Tax Services to get my taxes done. Chris is a solid businessman and an extremely likable person. He did an amazing job helping me with my taxes, and saved me a lot of stress and headache that I would have gone through otherwise. I highly recommend the services of his office to anyone, and I will certainly be using his services again in the future.

Stark tax service is second to none. Dont waste your time going any place else. You will probably pay too much and not get as good of a refund. Chris is awesome. Dont debate, use Stark tax service!

Mr. Stark turned what I anticipated to be thousands owed for my small business into less than one! Gotta love the type of tax man that is a constitutionalist, there is a stark difference from the rest, haha.

Very knowledgeable organization. Know the code very well and know who to contact to resolve any issues - complex issues. When I lived in California I would fly back to go over my returns. Not limited to one state, or one specialty.Highly recommended.Ryan Hiatt

Review №91

Showed up for my scheduled appointment time. No lights were on in the hallway. They had a sign on the door saying they would be back at my appointment time. I waited a few minutes, then knocked on the door. I could hear people talking inside the whole time, but they all hushed when I knocked. No one answered. They may be good with taxes, but I didnt stick around to find out. Very unprofessional.

Review №99

Incompetent and Unethical. I hesitate to write a review after seeing how Chris Stark trashed one of his other customers below who dared to be critical but feel that I have no choice. I had a very poor experience. He entered my social security number incorrectly on the return, missed a deadline to submit paperwork to the IRS and blamed me when I asked him to correct his mistakes. I ultimately gave up and the whole thing ended up costing me several hundred dollars more than what Chris calculated when the return was submitted the first time.I dont enjoy writing a negative review but Chris doesnt mind writing one even when hes not a customer just to damage the reputation of a competitor. He gave a one star review to my now CPA, Tax Preparation Service and Bookkeeper Sikora CPA who has, unlike Chris done an absolutely wonderful job for me and at a very reasonable price. In Chriss review of Sikora CPA, he didnt identify himself as a competitor. He purposely attempted to damage Sikoras reputation in order to make himself look better. You cant get much lower than that in business.I didnt write a review after my poor experience with Chris. Life is too short and he isnt worth my time. However, I wont stand by and watch him purposely hurt someone else.My recommendation is to stay away from Stark Tax Services. If you do consider using Stark, take a look at his office and at him. What you see is a reflection of the quality of tax preparation work you can expect.Update:Chris denies I was his customer. I wish that were true but unfortunately I was his customer. More importantly, he doesnt deny his completely unethical behavior toward his competitor. He admits giving Sikora CPA a negative1 star Google review purposely attempting to damage their reputation. Sikora CPA has been in business for many years in Old Colorado City. They only became a concern of Chris Stark when they purchased a building and relocated their office closer to his.Pathetic...Update 1-6-18Fake, unethical google review of competitor still not deleted by Chris Stark.Google Review Policy: Contributions must be based on real experiences and information. Deliberately fake content, copied or stolen photos, off-topic reviews, defamatory language, personal attacks, and unnecessary or incorrect content are all in violation of our policy.Chriss review was not based on a real experience with Sikora CPA and it was deliberately fake, designed to damage his competitor.I will continue to post updates until the fake post is deleted.Sad....1/29/18 UpdateThe Chris Stark fake negative review of Sikora CPA has finally been removed after I reported it to Facebook. I will not be removing my review of Stark Tax Services because everything I posted is true. Consider yourself warned about this unethical person.
