Would give no stars, charge as much as a national chain, that's fine I thought well they must give great customer service, wrong! Horrible customer service, no help, pay there outrageous fee's given my papers and that's it, thanks for the help, paid your outrageous fees for nothing, I could have got more help from the big tax places, now I have to call the IRS to pay over the phone or online, this place is trash.

No notary. I called to verify, and the previous reviewer is right: Race St Tax & Bookkeeping has no notary.
