I've been working with Sheldon Kramer for over 5 years and I have nothing but a great experience. He has helped me with both my business and person return. He is a book of knowledge and knows all the ins and outs of accounting. I highly recommend him!

Sheldon is very easy to work with, communicative, and accurate in his work. He has been a good advisor to my husband and I (with both self-employment income and salary) about options and requirements for claiming expenses for the small business, deferring income, and tax planning. He asks questions that ensures we have reviewed and collected all necessary data. He makes sure we are staying on the right side of all things and completes all our tax forms accurately, completely, and punctually. He is also a really nice guy!

Mr. Kramer is a first rate professional. He knows his stuff and works hard for your interest. Wish I would have had him do my tax work long ago. I had Mr. Kramer do multiple tax tasks for me that were challenging.

Sheldon's personalized service is like no other that I have received since I have been filing my taxes. Sheldon takes the time to get to know you, your family members, and also keeps abreast of possible life events that may impact your tax returns. Sheldon is available throughout the year to offer advice and guidance unlike any tax preparer/accountant that I have used. His responsiveness is like no other. I would highly recommend Sheldon Kramer's tax preparation and accounting services to anyone wanting the best of the best.

He did not tell me anything about the Homestead tax credit that was available to me, which was a major tax credit for homeowners. It was very substantial tax information that was not given to me. It could have saved me thousands. It was just awful. Two major credits that I could have had: Head of household and Maryland Homestead Tax Credit.
Response from SHELDON S KRAMER & ASSOCIATES
"HOMESTEAD CREDIT WAS ON HER HOWARD COUNTY TAX BILL. SHE DID NOT TELL ME THAT HER DAUGHTER LIVED WITH HER, HER DAUGHTER DID HER OWNED TAX RETURN."

He was extremely knowledgable and helpful, and seemed to understand my rather complex business plan.  He ran through a scenario with me on writing off various business expenses, including part of my house that's used for business purposes.  The level of detail was outstanding.  I will certainly be going back.

Asked to bring several items and budget with me. Spent full day preparing for meeting and brought all I was asked to bring with me. Went over my list of questions and reviewed taxes projected possible avenues for me to follow and why. One hour spent. I felt good about the knowledge I had leaving the office. I appreciated the effort taken to be sure I had my questions answered before I left. The cost is steep for me, but advise good. Recommend and trust Mr. Kramer's expertise.

It went well and we got more money through them back rather than if we had gone through turbo tax. They knew about deductions that we didn't know about. We would use them again.

I emailed Sheldon on his website on a Sunday,and he called first thing Monday AM. We met with him within a few days. I asked about an estimate upfront, and received one, but forgot to ask and was not offered exactly what his hourly rate was or how many hours the job was expected. We spent about 1 hour reviewing our tax return, and we brought many folders worth of backup. We weren't asked for alot of the backup (ex: 1099-INT, etc.) After we left, Sheldon needed to get more information from us, which was a bit inconvenient as we live/work a good distance away. We needed to make an additional trip to the office, which could've been mitigated if that paperwork was asked for in the initial meeting. But all in all, Sheldon was professional, courtesy, and his work timely. He even reviewed our 2006 and 2008 returns to see if any of the same errors occurred there. the final package was neatly bound with our copies, and envelopes pre-addressed for mailing to the IRS were provided, which is a nice touch.

I went to see Mr. Kramer because the Turbo Tax program wasn't calculating the dividends correctly and the balance due the IRS was astronomical. I met with him and he assured me that was wrong. We owed $0! He was very professional and asked if I had any questions that would be of help for the next tax season. I will definitely use him again and would highly recommend him.

Excellent. Sheldon is great. He has many years of tax and CPA experience. Preparing my taxes takes, usually, one one-hour visit to his office, then perhaps a few follow up conversations. He is very quick, in terms of turn around. He asks all the right questions to determine the proper way to file my taxes, and to do so getting me the most for a return, or minimize any amount that I owe, within the law. Also, he always offers me financial advice, on how I can reduce my taxable income, or how I should or could be investing. He's very practical and I can tell he really cares about his clients. He, like any good CPA, gets busy around tax time. However, he always makes a point to contact me early in the year, to set up an appointment, or just to make sure everything is going well. However, the minor difference (if any) that there may be is always made up for in Sheldon's advice, quick turn-around time, and expert tax preparation.
