It's always great when you know someone is going to take care of things and you can relax. My first visit was a good experience.

Customer service here is extremely disappointing and irresponsible. They did not complete our taxes on time and weren't even going to communicate about it. Apparently having the annual party (on Tax Day!) is more important.

NMS has messed up several aspects of my taxes and even messed up my amended return. Please consider someone else for filing taxes.
