Advantage One Tax Consulting
Reviews and Complaints

I recently used AO Tax to file my 2017 tax returns, but unfortunately, I received a notice from the department soon after. I attempted to get in touch with them multiple times, but to no avail. Every time I contacted their customer support, I was told that the appropriate person would get back to me, but I never received a call. This experience was absolutely frustrating and left me feeling extremely disappointed with their service. I strongly advise others to avoid AO Tax as a result, to prevent any potential issues that may arise with the department.

I haven't had the best experience with Advantage One Tax Consulting, to be honest. It seems like they may have taken my stimulus check money without my permission, and now they've gone missing in action. It's really concerning to me that they would take advantage of someone like that. I want everyone to know that these people cannot be trusted! They claim to be dedicated to helping their customers, but I have not received any help from them. I've reached out to their support team but have not received any kind of response. It's really frustrating to be left in the dark like this. Honestly, it feels like they're running some kind of scam. It's just not right to steal from people who are already struggling. I really hope that nobody has to go through what I've been through with Advantage One Tax Consulting.

AOTAX is really quite a frustrating experience. If only there was a way for me to give a negative rating! I had high hopes going in, but unfortunately, their staff doesn't seem to have much knowledge about filing taxes in the US. It seems like their only goal is to attract new customers, and once they have you roped in, they don't offer any real help or support.

The worst part is that they don't give you any information or guidance in advance, so you're left scrambling to figure everything out on your own. And if you end up getting in trouble with the IRS (which is entirely possible, given how confusing the process can be), AOTAX won't hesitate to wash their hands of the whole situation.

My advice? Stay far away from AOTAX if you're looking to file your taxes. There are plenty of other options out there, and I'm sure you'll be able to find one that will actually give you the help and support you need.

I had some troubles with Advantage One Tax Consulting (aotax.com) recently. It seems like once they get your payment, they just don't care anymore. Plus, they don't even have a local office in the USA, which to me seems sketchy. I'm still trying to contact them about some audit case where they promised FREE after-tax services but I can't seem to get through.

Their customer service is terrible from what I've experienced and their auditing service isn't any better. After I filed with AOTAX, I got an IRS Notice saying my daughter's ITIN had expired. They should have caught that and helped me fix it. Instead, I had to pay another $50 to H&R Block to handle it. That's just ridiculous.

All in all, I can say with certainty that I won't be using their services again. It's very disappointing to see such poor service from a company that I had high hopes for. I would NOT recommend them to anyone looking for tax help.

I recently used AO Tax Consulting for my annual tax filing, as I have done for the past seven years. Unfortunately, this year was a very negative experience. The dedicated account manager assigned to me seemed to not have a good grasp on the basic tax rules, which was very frustrating and concerning. To make matters worse, when I reached out to them with questions or concerns, it often took days before I received a response.

I must say that I was very disappointed with the client relationship officers (CROs) at AOTAX. Their answers to my queries were often not helpful or informative, and they seemed to have a poor understanding of even the basics. I felt like I was speaking to data entry operators rather than knowledgeable tax professionals. Whenever I asked a question, I received a very quick and unhelpful response stating "system shows that value."

After experiencing such a poor level of service, I am strongly considering going elsewhere for my tax consulting needs in the future. It's simply not worth the frustration and time wasted to continue with AO Tax Consulting.

My experience with Advantage One Tax Consulting (aotax.com) was a complete nightmare. This is not an organized company, they hire college students from India for only 3-4 months to do the job. This leads to enormous mistakes being made when filing. It is almost impossible to get in touch with anyone after you have paid for your service. They don't seem to care about customer service and will not reply to your emails.

This entire scam seems to be run from India, meaning they will not do anything to help you if you receive a letter or notice from the IRS. If you are looking for a reliable tax service, do not go for the cheap rates offered by AOTax. You may end up spending more time in dispute litigation or payment issues that takes more than a year to resolve. And, like me, you may become a victim of this AOTax SCAM.

Their lack of attention to detail and poor customer service can cause many headaches and unwanted stress when dealing with the IRS. In conclusion, avoid this company at all costs. The low rates may seem appealing, but it is not worth the risk of running into legal issues with the IRS. Remember, it is better to pay a higher fee for a reliable tax service that will save you time and money in the long run.

I have been filing my taxes with AOTAX for the past five years, and I must say that I have seen a decline in their customer service. Lately, I have been facing difficulty trying to reach out to them through phone calls or in-portal messages with some queries that I have, but unfortunately nobody is responding. I have sent numerous messages over the past seven days, and I still haven't received any response yet.

Whenever I call the customer service line, a lady picks up the phone and tells me that they are very busy, but someone will call back within an hour. Unfortunately, nobody calls back as promised. I have tried several times without success. It has become quite frustrating, and I am seriously considering looking for other options.

If anyone out there knows how to get in touch with their management, please let me know. As for me, I am not recommending AOTAX to anyone due to their poor customer service. I am personally disappointed because their service was once excellent, but now it seems like they no longer care about their customers. It's a shame that I have to start looking for other options after using them for five years straight. But regardless, I would still recommend giving them a try if you're looking for tax consulting services.

aotax.com is where I went to when I filed my taxes for the first time. I can say that their service has been satisfactory. I also applied for my wife's ITIN through COA process. It took longer than expected from the IRS but throughout the entire process, the associates of AOTAX frequently followed up with me and provided updates.

When I had received a notice from the IRS about missing documents for my ITIN, I was grateful that Sunil Dokka from AOTAX came to our aid. He helped us reply to the notice with the right documents. Thanks to their aid, and the necessary efforts, my ITIN number for my 2020 return arrived.

Overall, I am pleased with the help I received from AOTAX. They went the extra mile to assist me through the proceedings of filing my taxes. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for assistance with their taxes, especially for matters such as ITINs.

I have to say, I had a rather unpleasant experience with Advantage One Tax Consulting. It seems like a scam to me. They showed on their website that I could get a huge $XYZ refund, but when I paid them, they ended up filing my taxes with a different calculation. Not only did I not get any refund, I had to pay way more than I would have if I filed my own taxes!

And when I tried to reach out to their email and phone support, I never got any response except for an automated email saying they'll reply within 24 hours or the customer care representative telling me that they'll update me on my concern, but they never did. It seems like they only care about getting paid and not about the customers they serve.

I strongly suggest you avoid using this company for your taxes and don't even bother recommending them to your friends or relatives. They need to be banned from operating in the USA.

My experience with AOTAX was terrible. We had repeatedly told them to file our tax return jointly, but they ended up filing it separately on the federal return, causing us to lose out on our return money and not being eligible for COVID relief as well. When asked for a copy of our tax return, we were ignored, numerous times. The state tax returns were filed with an old draft, and the employees dealing with our return never had proper communication. We had to file an amendment ourselves because we never received proper communication from AOTAX. We even received an IRS notice due to their negligence in filing our taxes properly.

But it didn't end there – there were so many errors in the drafts. They listed the wrong address and even replaced my SSN with my wife's. Whenever we would call or message them for a solution, we would be handed off to someone else who would mess up our return all over again. The lack of professionalism and negligence on their part is unacceptable.

To add insult to injury, they wasted our time and energy. We could have filed our taxes ourselves and done a much better job than what AOTAX did with our return. We did not receive any form of compensation or apology for their mistakes. Overall, I would not recommend this company to anyone. They are unreliable, unprofessional, and a complete waste of time and money.

This is a classic example of a fraud company.
They will fool you by making a wrong draft showing us that we will get $XYZ return, then they will ask us to pay for their payment and then they will file taxes with the different calculation where there is no return but we have to pay way more.
No one accepting their mistake, no one there to receive a phone call and respond to an email because they got payment.
Every time their customer care telling that they will update in 24 hours & they will reply to an email but no email and no callback.
I recommend to all that do not file taxes with this fraud company and do not recommend it to your friend or relatives. This company should be ban from the USA.

Our tax return was filed separately on federal return even after constantly telling the AOTAX people to file it jointly. We lost return money because of that and we are not even getting the COVID relief as well. It's ridiculous! I asked them for the tax return copy multiple times but never got it. Old drafts were filed for the state tax returns and there was no proper communication between the employees dealing with our return. An amendment needs to be filed for that but we have received no proper communication on that from AOTAX. We even received an IRS notice because of this. We are taking care of the notice ourselves because we can't expect anything from this useless tax services company. There were so many issues with the drafts - like address was wrong, my SSN replaced with my wife's SSN, and whenever we called or messaged for a resolution, someone new came on and screwed up our return. These guys wasted our time and energy - we could have done a better job ourselves.

I submitted my tax return for 2018 through AO Tax (Ticket#***). Recently, I received an audit query from the IRS regarding this. I contacted AO Tax about the audit letter, and they advised me to raise an Audit ticket, which I did (Ticket#***). I did this two weeks ago, but I have not received a response from them yet. I also requested a callback regarding this matter, and they assured me that someone would contact me within 24 hours. However, no one has called me. This is very unprofessional and will cost me money because I will have to go somewhere else to address this issue. Ideally, this should have been free since AO Tax filed my taxes incorrectly.

I had some trouble with Advantage One Tax Consulting y'all. They gave good service before, but this year was just da worst. They went MIA on me after I paid my invoice. Ain't that just like some businesses though? They get what they want and then they don't care no more. So if y'all thinking about using them next year, just be careful, ya hear?

I cannot stress enough how incredibly disappointed I am with Advantage One Tax Consulting. It seems like the only thing they care about is getting paid - once they receive that money, they abandon you completely. It's such a shame because before I paid them, they were incredibly responsive and attentive to my needs. But once the transaction was complete, they disappeared off the face of the earth.

It's a real shame because they seemed like they would do a great job for me. But I never got to see that. Instead, I got an incomplete report and radio silence from their customer service team. I tried reaching out to them multiple times, but they just ignored my calls. It's baffling to me how a company can treat its customers like this.

To anyone considering working with Advantage One Tax Consulting, I highly recommend that you reconsider. They might seem like a great option at first, but I promise you that they're not worth the money. They will take your payment and then disappear, leaving you stranded and without any support. Don't make the same mistake I did - find a company that actually cares about its customers.

I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed with Advantage One Tax Consulting. I paid up front for their services, but then when I needed them, they just disappeared on me. I've been trying to get ahold of them to get a copy of my 1040 form, but it's like they don't even care. I've called them over and over again, but they just don't answer. It's not like I'm asking for anything crazy, just the basic paperwork that I need. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend doing taxes with these guys. It's just not worth it.

I was really disappointed with Advantage One Tax Consulting. They claimed that I was going to get $5762 back from the IRS, so I trusted them and made the payment. But when it was time for me to actually get my refund, they only gave me $1598. I feel like I was robbed! It's such a shame that I spent my hard-earned money on this company and ended up with so little.

I tried to contact them to complain about this, but their customer service was terrible. I was on the phone for over an hour and nobody picked up. When I finally did manage to get a hold of someone, they were very rude and unhelpful. They made it seem like it was my fault that I didn't get as much money back as they promised.

Overall, my experience with Advantage One Tax Consulting was awful. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Save yourself the trouble and find a more reliable tax service.

Advantage One Tax Consulting has some pitfalls that may cause some inconvenience in terms of communication. As a customer, it can be frustrating to wait for a response, especially when payments have been made. Personally, I have encountered delays with their response time after making payments on certain occasions. However, it is important to understand that they may have a high volume of clients and are doing their best to accommodate everyone's needs.

In addition to the response time issue, I have also experienced some difficulty when attempting to reach them via text. It can be quite disappointing to finally get through to someone and then having the line cut off immediately. It feels like having a conversation with an old-fashioned store owner who is only interested in making sales and not in their customers' satisfaction.

Despite these issues, I still think that Advantage One Tax Consulting has its benefits. For instance, their tax consulting services are quite helpful and can save you a lot of time and headaches during tax season. They take pride in their ability to help their clients find the specific tax deductions that apply to their businesses. This is a huge plus when trying to navigate the complexities of tax laws.

Overall, I would recommend Advantage One Tax Consulting to anyone who needs professional tax advice. Do keep in mind that there may be some inconveniences when it comes to communication but, if you are patient, you will find that their services can be quite helpful.

All they care about is taking your money. They didn't even bother to file my tax return from two years ago and didn't communicate with me about the issue at all. Now I'm dealing with the consequences of their negligence during the current tax year. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

So I went to aotax.com to get help with my taxes. I gave them all my stuff and paid them, but I haven't heard nothing from them since. I tried calling their customer service, but they ain't answering. They got this thing called escalation, but they ain't doing nothing about it and they ain't telling me nuthin. It's just real bad, man.

experience overall.

I recently used Advantage One Tax Consulting (AOTax) to help me file my taxes. While they did provide some support, I found that they dropped the ball when it came to correctly spelling my last name. I was disappointed to find that every time a mistake was made, they would come up with excuses and try to cover up their error. What's worse, when I made a payment for their FBAR services, I found that they were less responsive and didn't provide the same level of support that I had received initially. All in all, my experience with AOTax this year was pretty bad and I would not recommend them to anyone. It was a truly horrible experience that I hope no one else has to go through.
