Posted on Jeff N.Verified I hate taxes and everything related to taxes I am also very frustrated that when I go to hire knowledgeable tax professionals, they are often not as motivated as I am to fix help, or seem to just phone in really basic services Enter Lakshmi and Lakeline Tax Services: competent, knowledgeable, easy to speak to, and highly motivated to get you to a better place, not just now, but for your financial future. I have finally found the tax professional I have been looking for: I recommend Lakshmi without reservation, she has helped me tremendouslyPosted on Laureen A.Verified Lakshmi has been the greatest help to me and my family after our mom's death in a different state. She handled everything needed, was quick to respond to questions, and was patient & understanding. Highly recommend her and her team!Posted on Lauren W.Verified I worked with Lakshmi for our taxes this year and she was outstanding! We had a more complicated tax situation this year-compared to our prior years filings. Additionally, we had a very short window to file our taxes. Lakshmi helped make the process simple and worked hard to help us meet that deadline. They provided excellent customer service with excellent communication through the TD platform-keeping us informed each step of the process. We were able to call her directly (no phone tree!) and if she was Unable to answer, our Calls were returned quickly! I would highly recommend Lakeline Tax and Lakshmi for Your tax needs. I know we will be returning next year!Posted on Gerardo L.Verified Lakshmi is great, she is always a pleasure to work with. We've been using her tax services for a few years, and see no need to change providers. Given that she does taxes for both my wife and I (day time job + two businesses) it's very convenient to have a professional like her handle everything. She is very clear on what she needs in order to file taxes for you, and is always available for any questions. Yes, it won't be as cheap as TurboTax but you definitely get what you pay for.Posted on Randy M.Verified I knew very little going into this year's tax season, but after speaking with Lakshmi I felt like I was able to understand my situation much better and the things I need to do moving forward with my taxes! I have a small business run out of my home, and with my full-time w-2 job and being in a new state, I had no idea what I could even save on. I got more money back on my returns this year, and Lakshmi made sure of that! Well worth the investment, not just to save the hassle of doing my own returns! I was able to get my questions answered thoroughly and always within a reasonable time frame. If you are in the Leander area and are looking for your taxes to be handled professionally, then I would have to highly recommend Lakeline Tax for the next tax season, or even for your personal or business tax planning needs.Posted on Sara W.Verified Lakshmi and her team are great - they found ways to reduce my taxes that I would have never found on my own, and even found an error on last year's return (completed by another company) that resulted in an amendment that earned me over $1000! Plus, it's just nice to chat with Lakshmi. I definitely feel like she took an interest in me above and beyond my finances, and she was so thoughtful and thorough with her approach that I felt very well cared for. I highly recommend Lakeline Tax!Posted on E V.Verified My taxes are no walk in the park. Between digging through digging through past documents and researching nuances to my taxes, lakeline was able to get everything done and handle the brutal process. That means, experience with ESPPs, ISOs, having a portal to make document transfers secure and easy. They were able to find some previous mistakes in my returns which was like finding a needle in a hay stack. I was hesitant at first because it's all online, but now I would Highly recommend.Posted on Antonio C.Verified During the last two years, Lakshmi has provided excellent Customer Service and very effective counseling in extraordinary Tax matters. I recommend the Lakshmi Lakeline Tax service without any reservation.Posted on Chris K.Verified I would definitely recommend Lakshmi at Lakeline Tax. She is patient and thorough. She helped us through several difficult tax returns and was very responsive in text, email and phone. The system she set up was easy to use and I could quickly input our tax info securely.Posted on Niraj J.Verified I worked with Lakshmi and the team for the 2020 tax season. We had a lot of questions and Lakshmi patiently walked us through all of our questions and gave us great advice for how to take advantage of tax preferred systems for 2021. I always feel like I can reach Lakshmi and ask about anything and I was very happy with the service she was able to provide. Highly recommend Lakeline Tax and Bookkeeping for your tax needs
