This is to acknowledge your expression of dissatisfaction with our service inpreparing your 2015 tax returns.
I relate the comment that Mrs. [redacted] is "just a tax preparer" to someuneducated individual saying that you are "just a nurse", not understanding thetime, effort and expense...

it requires getting that credential. Most individualsmoving into Oregon for the first time are not cognizant of the fact that everyonepreparing tax returns for compensation in Oregon, is required to be licensed.
Oregon is the only state in the nation having very stringent licensingrequirements. California and New York have registration and continuingeducation requirements, but coming from Montana probably accounts for yourdisdain of tax preparers in general. In Oregon, if you are not licensed as a CPA oran Attorney, you come under the jurisdiction of the Board of Tax Practitioners.This agency has very comprehensive protocol for licensing and yearly continuingeducation for annual renewal. If you have an interest to become more educated inthis procedure, we can provide you with the code and regulations for governance.
The fees for our service are determined by the complexity of the tax returnbeing prepared. Most of the Turbo Tax genre have little understanding of thevolume and complexity of the tax laws for Federal and most States. Theirexperience has been to go to a department store, choose the cheapest softwareavailable, answer a few general questions and voila, you've got a tax return!
To prepare your 2015 Federal and three different State's returns, requiresknowledge of the four different methods of claiming education expenses either as acredit, an adjustment or as a deduction. Having an Oregon Non-Resident and aPart-year Resident required three comparative computations to determine theminimum tax liability -the next best choice was over $700 more than the one usedfor your Oregon return. It goes on and on as to the knowledge necessary to preparea complete, "accurate" tax return.
We will honor our commitment to assist in responding to any inquiry fromany Federal or State agency concerning the preparation of your return, providedthat you contact us before responding to the inquiry- the fee we charge is for year-aroundservice in this regard.
As to your vow to not use our services in the future, we wholeheartedlysupport your decision in every sense.
