Gamett King & Company

Amy was I guess as professional as an accountant should be; slow to get our taxes back, didn't mention that they were billing hourly instead of by the form. We normally use TurboTax but because of the 1031 exchange, we couldn't figure out how to do the exchange. We had to file an extension and seek out professional help. I was very dismayed to find out they charged me $3300 for personal taxes with a 1031 exchange. They graciously gave me an $800 discount (I guess to make me feel better about spending $2500), but $2500 is still way way to much for what they did. When I questioned why the fee was so high, Amy just said it is for time spent, no negotiations whatsoever. They charged me $480 for a 40 min consultation and about 3 emails they termed "constant communication". I'm very unhappy with the fee but I hope my taxes are correct and filed. I feel H&R Block would do the same job at a significantly lower fee. If you like to spend ALOT of money in fees for your taxes with little fanfare, slow communication, working with an assistant and not a certified accountant, then this is the place. I think I just made Mr. Gammett or Mr. King's next Lamborghini payment. Shame on me for that. Better luck next time I guess.
