Report
I haven't been able to speak with Chris Ruggiero since October, my 2019 return is still un-filed. After multiple rate lock extensions, my lender finally dropped my 2.375% refinance because Chris couldn't get my 2019 1040 filed in time (it is still not filed). I call or email every week and although his assistant Alison has been responsive, no action has been taken to resolve this situation. I would rate 0 stars if I could. This has been a very upsetting, stressful and costly situation.

CHristopher Ruggiero has advised me and prepared my State and Federal Income tax for the past 15 years. I always feel confident when I act on Chris' advice. I highly recommend Mr Ruggiero for all accounting and tax matters.

Refuses to get back to me after many many attempts at getting updates on my delayed tax refund - almost 2 years! Do not use this guy for your tax work.
