I have used Kaskie & Plude to do my taxes for almost 20 years. They have always done a great job. They also are kind, considerate, through and timely where service is concerned.

These people cannot file my tax return for months. They charged my credit card, but cannot complete tax returns. Calling, emailing, texting does not help. Also they have made multiple mistakes on tax returns for 2 years prior.

SUMMARY 1/5: Avoid this company. They are poor communicators and will ignore problems that they have caused. REVIEW: I had my taxes done with this company in 2017, to which i received a tax refund of $3,000+ dollars. However, it is now May 5th, 2019 and i have still not received my tax refund. I have followed up with them in emails several times; even emailing different employees to receive zero response.

After my accountant, Susan, blatantly ignored my emails, i reached out to the owner, Michael, to be mistaken for another clients and called a female. Needless to say, they did the job accounting wise but not with the follow through. Avoid this company as they are poor communicators and do not have any care for their clients.
