I hired Profit Wise (PW) to file 2022 taxes. Service was poor and communication dropped after my payment of $690.00 on 4/4/2023. Following a brief extension, in July 2023, I paid amounts provided to me by PW to the **** I made payments through PW for $21,466 in federal and $12,300 in VA state taxes. PW never indicated there were any additional amounts owed. In August 2023, I received a letter from the *** indicating I owed more than $40,000 in federal taxes, and would incur penalties if payment was not made. I reached out to PW and left multiple messages, which were never returned by case accountant ************************On 8/23/2023, I received an email from receptionist ************** indicating ****** would review the *** letter on 8/28. I called and emailed without response until 9/14/2022. I received an email from ****** asking if I had authorized PW to make payment (no amount referenced) when they filed my extension in April 2022. I responded I had and the federal and state payments in the amounts of $21,466 and $12,300 were made in July. I have received no further response from ******, despite many attempts to her in Oct/Nov.On 11/06/2023, I received a 2nd letter from the *** indicating I now owed $51,256.22, including penalties and interest. I kept calling PW, and one morning got through to an accountant (*******) who claimed ****** had not called me for the last few months because she had been tied up w/ business accounts. She said she would send a letter to the *** requesting removal of fees and request a new amount. I have received no further follow up from PW since.On 12/11/2023, I received a 3rd letter from the *** again seeking payment. This letter indicated I now owed $51,879.55 and said the *** could seize my property. I contacted the *** and they indicated they hadnt received any request from PW to remove fees/interest. I am making payment of the taxes owed plus interest, but request PW reimburse me for the interest and penalties associated.Initial Complaint

I've had multiple issues with work being completed after payment at Profitwise. Last year, I met with the owner, ***********************, and she explained to me that they had personnel issues that caused the communication issues. I gave them another chance with new business, and they have not improved. They have simply taken money for work they did not do. Worse, they will not respond to phone calls or emails.
