First time using Hicks & Co. Since we moved from out of state we decided to use a tax service. Had a great experience - got in quickly to have them review all our paperwork, did quick work on the return and got back more than expected. We ran into one problem but they resolved it quickly.

John Hicks is the perfect tax preparer with the highest integrity and expertise, staying up with ALL the new tax law developments throughout the year - and there have been a lot of changes under the Obama administration. I've had John doing my taxes for the last 8 years or so and have not once regretted it. I'm a retired USAF officer and have a couple rental properties; the depreciation tables/forms for the properties are too complicated for me but a routine process for him. And he takes care of all four levels of taxes I have to pay in Ohio: federal, state, school district, and RITA. Every month I update my income & expense data on an Excel spreadsheet I put together myself, based upon questions John asked me the first year. Then when my 1099R comes available online from the USAF in December, I download it and email it to John along with the Excel spreadsheet. I think I'm the first to get him my tax data each year and am always glad when that time comes around. I used to dread doing my taxes because of all frustrating hours and days I knew it would take. Now I just send the info off to John Hicks and wait for him to call to tell me to come sign so he can e-file. I tell all my friends and family about him, local and even out of state! My son is in WA state and John was happy to do his taxes, even though my son waited until the last minute to submit his tax data. John also sat down with an elderly widow friend of ours to discuss possible tax concerns without charging her anything. Now she & her daughter will be having John do their taxes this year because they were so impressed with John's knowledge and his kind, patient demeanor. His fees are VERY reasonable, too, probably less than most any other tax service, even those with much, much less experience & expertise. I have no reluctance whatsoever in recommending Hick & Co Tax Service because I know they will not disappoint!
