Ive had them prepare my taxes some time ago because I was new to the Houston area at the time and looking for someone who was at least familiar with capital gains from cryptocurrency trading. They were friendly enough and prepared and handled everything fine at the time. Then later I got a consultation from a reputable tax attorney that said I should be able to amend my returns to treat some exchanges during that year as Sec. 1031 like-kind. I contacted My Tax Guy about this and they completely refused to amend the returns per my request even with this backing. The response they gave me was surprisingly dismissive after I explained the whole situation to them. It baffles me because they had the nerve to say they know more about taxes than a practicing attorney with a LL.M. in Taxation Law. In short, I would definitely NOT recommend them if youre looking for someone who specializes in taxes for cryptocurrency trading, or for any complex tax filing for that matter. For that, look elsewhere.

Definitely the go to guy for tax returns. I have sent him several close friends and they all say the same things about him. He gives us peace of mind, hes responsive, and he is extremely competent! Highly recommend.

When I started my company, I was stressing out about taxes. When I met Doug, he immediately put on ease. Before I signed on, I asked several of my friends and they had nothing but great things to say about his character and his tax magic. Since signing on, I’ve been impressed with his work. My stress is non-existent.Doug’s also a great person and friend! You’ll always be greeted with a hug and a smile.

Sure the AMT is great, but theyre even better when Doug uses the 8801. Yay for tax savings! The 6251 looks daunting, but Doug eats them for breakfast. Finally, if your capital gains look like mine, youll be amazed at what Doug can do; in fact, (and its true) that the IRS named their tax form after Doug at My Tax Guy in Houston: the beloved Schedule D!

Doug has been handling both my personal taxes and my law firms taxes for over five years. Every year it is a huge weight off my shoulders to know that Doug and his team will handle everything for me during tax season. To be blunt, I dont have a clue about taxes. Every year, I am provided with a list of documents they need from me and we go over my return together. They make the entire process incredibly easy and pain free. I highly recommend Doug for anyone who needs help with their personal taxes or business taxes.

Ive been coming here for the past 4 years and love it more each time. Their service is absolutely phenomenal, and Doug has an uncanny ability to explain things in such a way that I actually understand the implications, and can work towards improving my tax liability for the following year. Thank you so much Doug and everyone at My Tax Guy In Houston!!!

In 2009, I took my taxes to My Tax Guy in Houston based on the recommendation of a friend, and I was not disappointed. Douglas was not only able to quickly prepare my tax filing, but also explained how to detail my deductions and consolidate my student loans saving me money. Since then, I have been trusting them to prepare and advise not only my persona/small business taxes, but also my 501c3 filings and returns. This year they were in a new location on Shepherd and the new office is great. They had much better parking and they were so much brighter and welcoming. I went in to drop off my forms and was really impressed when they handed me a tablet to check in and confirm my information, like at my doctor’s office. They immediately scanned my forms and handed them back. I was advised I needed to get the new insurance form, but instead of bringing it by or emailing it, I should instead upload it to their new secure portal. When I logged on to upload the form, all my other documents were already there, along with a draft review of my filing, so I was able to check all of my information again. That was really amazing! I highly recommend My Tax Guy in Houston based on the consistent experience, advice, and friendly environment.

Thank GOD for Doug and his team! I received one of those dreaded IRS letters informing me that my previous tax preparer had royally messed up my 2017 filing. Honestly Id consigned myself to just accept the fact that I was probably screwed and there was nothing I could do about it. But after consulting with Doug not only did he lay out a clear plan of how to resolve my 2017 issues, but he also made my 2018 return WAY EASIER than my previous tax preparer! My experience with these guys was nothing short of amazing, theyre truly miracle workers.

I found myself in a pretty serious jam after doing some crypto trading last year and failing to report it on my return. I looked everywhere for a firm that specialized in crypto taxes, but Doug at My Tax Guy was the only one who seemed like he legitimately knew what he was talking about. After sitting down with him and describing my situation, Doug did an excellent job of explaining the full range of possible outcomes--from worst to best case scenario. And then wouldnt you know, he ended up getting me the best case scenario possible! My entire experience with My Tax Guy was impossibly amazing, I might name my firstborn Doug after this kind of treatment. Ill never go anywhere else.

Youre better off doing taxes via TurboTax, on your own, or another service. Multiple reasons why I say this:(1) I had to keep following up with them to ask about the different forms I thought I needed to fill based on our in-person convo. When they finally responded, it was snarky: check the online portal. weve uploaded it all there. But they hadnt.(2) They charged me more than they said they would during the in-person meeting. Much more. And when I pointed it out, they reduced the fee. And then adjusted it back. I had to take screenshots to point out the discrepancies in the amount I owed to make them realize they were trying to rip me off intentionally or unintentionally. And then I had to ask them to file my out of state taxes, which they completely missed somehow.(3) You are paying them for just filing taxes -- theres little to no advice on managing for filing taxes. I just started a LLC and thought it would be good to have a tax-person who can give me some advise and then file my taxes. All they did was file. I had to do the work of manually entering all my expenses, figuring out the right way to account for company expenses vs. personal expenses vs. company income vs. company expenses. I might as well have used TurboTax.Disappointed in this service.

This tax company will put your taxes in jeopardy every year you use them . The cost me $2000.00 last year and did my taxes wrong then tried to blame the client .they couldnt remember that my wife committed suicide and thought that I went through a divorce and filed my taxes single when I was a widower it cost me money and then they also did not know that I was an s corp instead of a c Corp when they clearly had my tax returns from the years before to look at and review. This is something that I was willing to look beyond until this year now Im bringing it up because they really did mess my taxes up last year big time. the guy that handles all the appointments is not necessarily very nice and very rude to people. His name is Gregory. I believe theyre prejudiced toward straight conservative people. They should be advising me not the other way around. I received a email from Gregory less then 24 hrs to respond on weather or not they will be doing my ll c taxes this year. Why would I have a tax company after using you for 2 times now on the 3rd go around they are asking if they want me to proceed but only giving me 1 day???????? How as-sine is this???. I think this is a prejudiced company and i would highly recommend that you go elsewhere to find competent tax prepares.

Friendly staff, in clean, modern offices, with efficient, same-day service. My tax return was prepared while I was there. The US Treasury check arrived on the predicted day -- the money 💰 from my refund is in the bank❗️

If I could give this company a 0, I would. First of all, they failed to provide us with a voucher and instructions on how to make our tax payment. My state returns were done completely incorrectly. When I reached out to them to ask about this they refused to take any responsibility for their negligence.

Very unprofessional, I dont recommend this tax office. They messed up my taxes and he wasnt informed of the IRS changes at all.I thought I found someone to relay for years to come and it ended up being a nightmare.I tried talking to him about this complaint, but he hanged up the phone, after answering he is not supposed to be informed about any policy changes from the IRS changes.
