I don't normally write reviews, but Louis absolutely deserves one.
I was in a very stressful situation where my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case was delayed because my 2025 tax return had been filed incorrectly as Single even though I was legally married. I spoke with multiple accountants who all told me it couldn't be amended because my wife didn't have an SSN or ITIN at the time. I was getting different answers everywhere I went and had almost given up hope of getting it resolved quickly.
Then I found Louis.
He immediately understood my situation, explained my options clearly, and was able to prepare my amended federal and state tax returns correctly. Not only that, but he was able to e-file my amendment and it was accepted by the IRS in less than 30 minutes.
What impressed me the most wasn't just his knowledge—it was how much he genuinely cared about helping me. He took the time to review everything with me, answered all of my questions patiently, and never made me feel rushed or like I was asking too much. He made an incredibly stressful situation feel simple and manageable.
In a world where it's hard to know who to trust with your taxes, finding someone knowledgeable, honest, and responsive is priceless. Louis is exactly that.
Thank you again, Louis, for helping me through such an important matter and giving me peace of mind when I needed it most. I will definitely be coming back for my future tax needs and would highly recommend Tax Starz of Tampa Bay to anyone looking for someone they can trust.

Louis was wonderful to work with. He was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. He worked quickly to get my taxes filed and even did a courtesy call with me to get my marketplace insurance numbers since I had lost my tax form from them! I was very appreciative of that! I will gladly go with Tax Starz to help me with my future tax prep. :)

My son and I reached out to Tax Starz recently because we had some tax issues that we needed to resolve dating back to 2023. They were prompt with their response and very knowledgeable about the tax laws here in North Carolina. Tax Starz was able to help us reconcile our taxes very quickly.

I had been stressed out with a tax problem since 2023. My employer withheld taxes for a state I no longer reside in, and I had not been able to recoup my tax refund until I met the Tax Starz, in particular, Louis Henry and Brianna who were great. Their professionalism and knowledge are unsurpassed. I been looking for someone to help me solve this issue for months and it only took Louis one (1) day to find a solution! My weekend will be so great. Not only do I not owe any taxes to Alabama, but I am also getting a refund instead. The Tax Starz are my HEROS!!! Thank you, Tax Starz!!

They were extremely helpful, professional, and generous with their time. I reached out with questions about possible taxes related to the sale of my house, and they gave me clear, practical guidance that helped me understand my next steps. I really appreciated their honesty and responsiveness, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for tax guidance.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer a low, flat fee for every service that we provide, as well as several discounts & free extras. People that we have spoken to throughout the years have been shocked at how much less Tax Starz costs than traditional accounting firms & big name tax preparation companies. Expect to save up to 65%.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
At Tax Starz we'll show you what we can do for you and give you pricing up front before we start working. For remote clients, tax documents & information are uploaded through our website and then we take it from there. We finalize the tax return through a virtual meeting (or in person if you're in the Tampa Bay area) and keep you updated until the refund is approved. You can also ask us tax and accounting related questions at any time throughout the year as advice is free for everyone.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our lead accountant, Louis, has been in the profession for more than a decade. He went to school for accounting and has prepared more tax returns than most accountants will see in 30 years time. Louis has several certifications & licenses, including IRS Enrolled Agent (the highest possible under the IRS), and he also does bookkeeping and payroll for our clients.
