    Answered
    We engaged in KDA for multiple services. The tax strategy planning service and then later 2022 tax filing service. This complaint is about 2022 tax filing service. The strategy service was $8500 which we agreed to, pricing was transparent and upfront. No issues. Then we were told 2022 tax planning services were $750. I was sent a copy of the client engagement contract, which was written in the most deceitful and unclear way. If you are not careful to opt out, you are automatically signed up for a service they don't provide. It is called an audit protection service, they will charge you a fee regardless if you are audited or not, and take advantage of people who do not put their initial to opt out of the service. Then secondly, I read the client engagement contract 10x and was not clear on the wording, so I reached out to clarify. I do not sign up for contracts that leave the "top fee" blank so I asked what is the final fee I can expect. I was told *** not to exceed $1200 and that is in case of extreme cases where they provided significant findings and tax savings. In my case, they did not, and I was provided an invoice of $1387.50. I complained to 4 different people at KDA showing evidence and my dissatisfaction about the shady engagement contract and price I was charged. I showed proof and email dialog that fees would never exceed $1200 for this service, and re-iterated that I am not authorizing any charge above $750 without satisfactory answer. Unbelievably, after providing all this evidence, I was "ghosted", not one single person from KDA got back to me. They went ahead and charged me $1386.50 and referred me to re-read the shady contract. I would like KDA to submit their client engagement contract for BBB review if contract is ethical, or purposely deceitful to clients leaving them to charge what they wish. I am extremely shocked at their treatment of client that paid ~ $10,000, and ok to not provide a response. I would not recommend this business to anyone.

    If I can save one person from getting involved with Karla Dennis, it will have been worth my time to write this review.You will see that all negative reviews center around 1 troubling practice.My wife and I bought into their program thinking they would actually do the things we were paying for.Once you sign on and provide your credit Ard for monthly billing, they go dark. Im embarrassed to say how much money we through away, not to mention the time we wasted trying to track people down to get answers about our taxes.There is no strategy provided.We also had to file a dispute with our credit card company to get the auto payments stopped as they continued billing is even after we sent them a letter in writing as well as an email.It is my opinion that the people writing the 5 star reviews are not the regular clients who are being billed thousands of dollars and receiving nothing but a run around in return.I hope you take my advice and save yourself from financial loss and your sanity.
