Report
I found Art to be incredibly unprofessional and I would not recommend using his services. He filed my taxes and informed me what I owed. All I had to do was sign the papers. Within the hour he sent me an email saying find someone else to do your taxes. When I asked for and explanation, his response was that I wasn't happy with the amount I owed. I cant understand why thats a reason not to file my taxes. No person is happy with paying taxes but its a legal obligation I abide by. Even prior to this, when I asked him if there was anything I had missed, that I can claim under business

Report
Tried to file my taxes with Art and he couldn't answer a single question I had about best practices for filling out a T2200. When I asked him how to claim certain things compared to one of my coworkers he replied with a two word email "Go Away."
