Anthony's egregious unprofessionalism is alarming. Based on other reviews that I have read, unprofessionalism is a common theme for him and it's unfortunate that he is still doing this to other people. I should have known that I was in for a ride when we met in the living room of his house, amongst a sea of toys and clutter, for my tax appointment. I went to Anthony to resolve an old tax debt. I needed to understand the amount that I owed and to reach an agreement with the IRS. Despite Anthony's pompous, know-it-all attitude, he was knowledgable and I felt comfort that I was finally going to get resolution for a lingering issue. He suggested that I file an amended return. Since I was already having one return done, I figured that I would support and have an additional return done. Why not support a small business owner who was helping me out? Those TWO returns ran me almost $800, which is extremely high. My tax returns are simple...I don't own any property or a business, and don't have a ton of investments outside of my 401K. In context, I filed for $70 with HR Block this past year. However, I paid the fee because I was happy to have the weight off of my shoulders. For whatever reason, Anthony wasn't able to e-file my amended return so he had me mail the returns myself. We agreed that we would chat again once the IRS had processed my return to discuss next steps. After three months, the IRS still had not processed my return, so I called Anthony to see if he could offer any insight. He said not to worry and that they were backed up because of COVID. Mind you, I was receiving threatening letters from the IRS every six weeks! Weeks later, after receiving the third letter from the IRS, I sent a picture of it to Anthony and let him know that I was growing concerned with the status of my tax account. Anthony never responded. I texted Anthony. Anthony never responded. After a couple of weeks, it was apparent that I wouldn't be hearing from Anthony anymore. I HAD BEEN GHOSTED! I ended up calling the IRS myself and they informed me that Anthony had me mail my amended tax return to the wrong address, resulting in the months-long delay. They also said that the amended return was missing supporting documentation, so they couldn't accept my reduced tax liability. Anthony was the cause of the issue and had the gall to ghost me! The delay resulted in additional penalties and an escalation of my account status with the IRS, so I was worse off than when I started. I would implore anyone reading this to take your business elsewhere. His prices are exorbitant and his unprofessionalism negates any value that his purported knowledge could offer. Buyer beware

I recently spoke with Mr. Anthony Blount, the President and CEO of Austell Tax Services regarding a tax matter involving my nonprofit, and he was both kind and knowledgeable. Therefore, I highly recommend Austell Tax Services for your personal and business tax needs. It is indeed a five-star company. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Anthony is a consummate professional and was great to work with to file my 2020 taxes. He was very responsive (within the hour) to my initial inquiry and kept up constant contact whenever I had a question in order to quickly and accurately file my taxes. He was also extremely helpful in giving me tips to minimize my future tax bill. I will be using Anthony's services for years to come and would recommend to friends and family.

I am an independent contractor and had about 5 years of back taxes that were owed. I felt hopeless/clueless about filing correctly and thought I would just live in crippling debt. I reached out to Anthony and immediately felt comforted and knew things would be okay. I can't stress enough how much he has helped me financially and honestly, mentally. Anytime that I have reached out, even just for a quick question, he is always responsive. He deserves 10 stars

Anthony made filing my 2020 taxes easy and worry free. He is extremely knowledgeable of tax laws, particularly with the new changes, and made sure I was able to take advantage of all credits I was due. Additionally, he helped me to understand how to minimize my future tax debt through easy steps. I will be using his services in the future and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Was told I owed a large amount and was told that he would charge another amount to try to settle with the IRS. When I called him to do the ammendment he said he couldn't do it. Took the same information to another tax preparer and ended up not having a large tax debt.No, Mr. Austell, the tax attorney told me to give you the opportunity to fix the error.....and it's funny that when you called me , to discuss my review, you didn't remember our conversation...but now you do. I never suggested to quote you " How to get over" with anything. I hired a capable tax professional to make a correction as instructed by the IRS and tax attorney. In response to supporting small businesses, the individual who fixed it has a small business and everything was filed correctly not to get away with anything but according to tax laws with documentation. I will continue to support small businesses...just not yours. I never attacked your character or integrity, so please don't attack mine for giving you this review. Have a great year! Blessings

Without a doubt, Anthony is the most professional tax consultant I've ever worked with. He has such a positive and upbeat demeanor that makes him so easy to work with and trust. He quickly handled my tax return and ensured that I got the maximum refund I qualified for. I'm so glad he was recommended to me because I will never work with any one else! Just hearing him talk you can tell that he actually enjoys doing taxes and takes the time to brush up on current changes in tax law and related current events. If you are looking for a competent, prompt and courteous tax professional, look no further!! You won't be disappointed!!

The professionals at Austell Tax Services are kind, courteous and (in my opinion) experts at what they do. Setting an appointment was seamless for them. I had the privilege to work with Anthony. We had a candid conversation about the services I needed for tax preparation and future services as I continue to grow my business. This company comes to you, which is a breath of fresh air for my lifestyle is very busy (that's a godsend for anyone living in the Atlanta Metro Area and beyond). I could continue, but I think you get the point. Austell Tax Services is a solid company to help you with your taxes.
