I was referred to Geisha through a friend and my experience was 5 stars. Finally I have someone dependable, and knowledgeable that I can trust. I even brought my mom in to do her taxes. We uploaded our documents to their server prior to the appointment. The process was fast and easy. JacobWise & Co. has gained a loyal client.

This was my first time using the company and I must say I was very happy with the service provided. Geisha was very informative and professional. She answered all my questions and more. Everything was done in a timely and orderly manner.

I was concerned at first about doing my taxes online. but this was the only option I had at the moment, due to my busy schedule. I contacted geisha Jacobs and was delightful surprised on her professionalism and knowledge of everything I asked her. she was polite and you can tell she does this from the heart and not on a cash grab like most of these tax places. I will definitely be doing future business with Jacob wise. thanks for getting me back the max and being so patient with me and all my questions..

I am disappointed with the printing sequence of the return pages for my records. It adds the filing instructions to the return itself. That is, if the filing instructions consist of one page, the first page of the return is included on the backside of the instructions, so that the second page of the return starts a new sheet. Worse, the pages of the return are mixed. For example, the 1040-SR consists of three pages. It printed the first two, thene page 1 of Form 8606. Then on the back of that was page three of the 1040-SR, then, on the next sheet came page 2 of Form 8606. I had to resordt to printing each page separately. When I did, Schedules 1, 2, and 3 printed as well, all filled with zeroes, even though these were not included in the electronic filing.

The software is simple to install and use. The walkthrough / interview is effective in covering all the bases for most users. Last year I had a problem because it wouldn’t let me electronically file the form to claim tax credit for an ev charger installation – had to mail it in, it took months. This year I had to wait an extra 2 weeks to file because the social security worksheet was “not final.” Like I said, there are some bumps.
