Claude H. Estes + Company, P.C

"Giving a 3 because the actual tax preparation work done was competent. The points off are for the billing. Going into getting my mother's taxes prepared [1], we could not be told an estimate on how much her fairly simple return would cost. It turned out to be $425, again, for a fairly simple return. This seemed pretty exorbitant for doing such a simple return. When I went to pay the bill, I was told I could not get a breakdown of what went into that figure, unless I spoke with Mr. Estes himself. Of course, he's out until the next week. My bottom line is, the work will be done well. Just be ready for a pretty big expense for that work.
