    Hi,

    I need to get my taxes done...

    If you have a good CPA that you could recommend and hopefully they charge reasonably too :) I would greatly appreciate it. Our taxes are fairly simple.

    Thanks in advance!

    I second that. I started working with Irv last year based on a forum recommendation. No regrets - he's worked out very well.

    One of the best we've found is Darrin Payne (202) 297-0979 Cell He's done our taxes for years now and the money he's saved us has given us a very nice family vacations. He's not one of these who doesn't have time to answer your questions....he makes time. He is up to date on all the the IRS changes and believe me there are tons of them!!! Give him a call and just talk with him....you'll see for yourself. Thank you. Lynne

    For all those that used Irv A, can you give me a ballpark estimate on how much he charges for joint filings for taxes. Has anybody done small business (S Corp) taxes with him and what are the charges like?

    Thanks much,
    kal

    I've been with him for 10 years. Based out of a home office in Sterling. Very personable and very reasonable. I know he doesn't give quotes, but all his new business is from referrals. His strongly believes the reason he gets so many referrals is he charges a fair price and does a good job for his clients.

    So what I meant to say was my quote would not be the same as anyone else's. Everyone has different items and it's hard to give an estimate. It could range from $300 to $800 or so! (and no, those aren't Irv's estimates...it's just what I've seen/heard from friends/family). Bottom line is that most of his business if from referrals and he wouldn't be getting so many referrals if his price wasn't fair.
