    Unanswered
    I sent my taxes to the Orofino office on 3/22/2021. I checked in with them in early April. I was told they would get to it that week and made aware of the extension. In late April I still hadn’t heard so I started calling once a week, only to be told they would get to it soon each time. I only ever spoke to the administrative assistant. On 5/12/21 I called and was told my taxes had been mailed to me and I needed to get it back to them ASAP so they could file on my behalf. In a roundabout way it came to light that they had mailed my taxes to the wrong address (but I managed to get possession by 5/13/21), put the wrong address on my taxes, incorrectly filed health forms, and missed an entire student loan interest claim. When I called on 5/14/21, I was told the boss would be coming in (she thought) and it should be an easy fix. He never did, and none of the admins I spoke to could get ahold of him or any CPA that could help. I filed my own taxes to make sure they would get done on time.

    NEVER seek services from **** Barnett!!!! I submitted my taxes to the Barnett and **** in Lewiston the first week of March 2022. I called March 11th because I never received confirmation that they received my taxes. I heard nothing after that. Twenty days later I called and left a message. No one called me back. Every time I called it went straight to voicemail. I never received a returned phone call. I emailed one of the accountants to find out the status of my taxes. They responded on April 5th with a list of things they needed from me. I gathered that information that night. I waited a week and still heard nothing from them. I asked my mom to stop by their business to ask them if they would please call me. They never did. I drove from Orofino to Lewiston to get some answers. The door to their business was locked with a note that said, if you need to speak to someone, call this number. It was the same number I had been calling. I knocked on the door until someone answered. It was one of the accounts working for **** Barnett. The office was covered in piles of folders. It was a mess. I asked the status of my taxes. They were still not done. She said they would call me the next day. **** Barnett did call my husband the next day only to scream profanity at my husband, threaten to press charges for calling them too many times, and tell us that our taxes were still not done. That was April 15th. I have never experience this degree of unprofessionalism, lack of communication, and poor service.
