Americas took over Pats Tax Services a few years ago, so I stayed on and havent been disappointed yet. They complete my taxes within 1-3 business days of my turning in all paperwork. Their fee is reasonable and Stephanie is an absolute gem and a light in that small office.
Paul & his company are honest & extremely friendly. I am so glad he did my taxes this year. I usually end up owing but he took the time to go through everything extensive and was able to explain in simple terms anything we were unsure of.Thanks so much I highly recommend their services and you know I will be back next year.
I have used Americas Tax & Accounting in Lakeland for two years and I never had a problem, until this year. I started working as a Real Estate agent in 2015 and prior to doing so I called Paul to find out how much money I would need to be setting aside for tax season because it was my first time that my taxes would not immediately be taken out of my paycheck and I did not want to end up in a mess come time to pay my taxes. Paul told me 15% should suffice. I repeated that amount to him at least 5 times throughout our conversation. He was sure that I just needed to set aside FIFTEEN PERCENT to cover my taxes for the year. I specifically confirmed that if I was sure to set aside the 15% that I would be completely fine come tax season, NO SURPRISES. After much consideration in January I decided to use a CPA that specializes in small businesses and Real Estate. My new CPA informed me that Paul left out the fact that I would have to come up with an EXTRA 15.3% to cover Social Security and Self Employment Tax! So thanks to Paul I am in a crunch to produce 15.3% MORE of last years income. I cant help but wonder how many other people have been put in this same situation because of Pauls lack of knowledge.
Great business that is honest and gets the job done right the first time!
