At first I never actually build any interest on this Binary/Forex trading of a thing but when I later gave it a try with the Help of this wonderful Expert Trader Mrs Cathy Frederick. It was a successful trade for me. All I did was to invest $550 into my first trading and to my greatest surprise, I received huge amount of $5,420 as profit in 6 days… of trading. Mrs Cathy Frederick was the trader that made it possible and she is still doing it all for me..

All the reviews on this company's site are FAKE, and the owner of this company, Jonathan Donenfeld is a SCAM. I paid him 5K, to resolve my IRS tax debts and continued to get letter of seizures and levy of accounts. Each time I contacted JLD Tax and sent them copies of the letters, he told me to just ignore them and that he was on top of my account. Two months later I received a CERTIFIED letter from the IRS saying that they were seizing my property immediately. I then contacted the IRS myself, and come to find out, He had only contacted them once himself, and a second time, his assistant Nicole

Horrible experience all around. They messed up my return badly and I had to pay someone else to fix it. They refused to help or give me a refund for THEIR mistake. They wanted me to pay more money to even answer a question! Zero stars!!! The IRS sent me a letter stating they thought it was a fraudulent return because they didn't include the deducted amount I paid the prior year. Which I clearly stated in emails and it was on my return. Do not trust them with your return it caused a huge headache!!!

Our taxes are not uncomplicated. Yet, JLD has done a tremendous job since we switched to him a few years ago. We can highly recommend him for both personal and business taxes. And, I will say that he is so incredibly responsive to requests for information and documents, etc., that it would be impossible to be more responsive.
