M.J.White, PLLC- Michael White

Michael intelligently explains your tax situation and helps you plan for the future. He helped me save money and get a greater return on my 2017 amendment. Reasonable rates and can handle investments, rentals and stock options on your taxes. I was doing my own for 20 years and now it is easier to let a pro handle it.

We've used Michael the last two years for our taxes and we're so glad we found him! He's great at explaining complicated "tax speak" and is always very quick to respond to questions. We'll definitely be using him again and I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for help with their personal taxes.

Michael helped me out of a pinch and was able to cut through a lot of red tape that would difficult for me to do being from out of state. I was very pleased and happy with the speed and thoroughness of Michaels work. I would definitely recommend him and use him again the next time I need a CPA in Austin.

My husband and I had Michael do our income taxes for the first time this year and we were very pleased with his services. He was easy to work with and had our return done very quickly. We will definitely use him again next year.

Had a great experience with Michael for the 2nd year in a row. I am thankful to have found a reliable and knowledgeable CPA in Austin. I would absolutely recommend to my friends.

I highly recommend Michael White for tax prep. As a small business owner, I was confused about how to file taxes and he patiently explained everything I asked him. I was very impressed how quickly he filed my income tax return and how he kept me informed every step of the way. If you need help with your taxes, I recommend MJ White CPA

Reasonable pricing, honest and dependable CPA. He was patient talking explaining the process. He stuck to timelines and when we needed rescheduling, he was patient with us. I think, I found my goto CPA!

We used Michael last year for our personal taxes. We provided everything to him in February. When April 13th rolled around, I emailed him to check in on things, assuming that our taxes were done and that we just needed to come in and sign a few documents. About an hour after I emailed him, he started emailing with ad hoc questions (what's your DOB, social, etc.).

It was clear he had not done our taxes and had either forgotten or was not planning to complete them on time (in which case, we would have had to pay a penalty). Needless to say, emailing back and forth with Michael on a Saturday night was not what I had in mind when I decided to hire an accountant. Additionally, he got basic things on our tax return wrong (spelling of names).

He also tried to raise the price on us last minute, claiming that he had quoted a higher value, which he did not. Based on my own experience, and the unprofessional responses that I have seen on other reviews, I would stay far away.

I used Michael once a few years ago. I talked with him over the phone and he gave me a price for doing my taxes. When the work was done I went to his office to pay him. As I sat down to write him a check, at the last minute, he informed me that he had decided to raised his price. I never used him again.

Michael was professional, completely competent, and an affable individual. I appreciated his honesty and directness in my initial consultation. I told him it was very important to my wife that everything was done by April 15th. He informed me that he could not make that garauntee, he did tell me exactly what he could and would do. It was agreeable to me, and he did exactly as he said he would.

Our taxes were handled perfectly. I'm dropping by his office this week for this years taxes. It's a bit like having a good mechanic, it's comforting to know you can trust the guy under the hood that's keeping your financial vehicle running properly.

Michael is accountant that is very easy to work with. I've had him do my business and personal taxes for years now and have been 100% satisfied with his results. You can trust Michael White to handle your finances with care and integrity.

Michael is a knowledgeable and friendly CPA. My taxes were filed on time a few days before the April 15th deadline. The tax savings was equivalent to using TurboTax, when factoring in the preparation fess. It was a little difficult to communicate with him directly in April when I called the office, but overall I'm pleased with the service provided.

Michael has been my tax accountant for 3 years. He has done my returns for two companies and my personal returns. I provided him with all of the necessary documentation for my 2013 returns in February. I spoke to him on March 19th. He said all was well and progressing for completing my returns prior to the 15th of April. Today, April 14th, I get the following from him in an email. ***your business and personal returns are extended.

If you want to send me your w-2 I'll work up an estimate of how much you owe but it will be rough and not the refined amount you were looking for. That said, I will not be able to help you further with your tax preparation.*** Seriously? Without notice, I'm on my own? The day before taxes are due? Stay away. Far away.

When I contacted Mr. White in March he told me he could prepare taxes for my husband and me. I dropped my tax documents off that same day. Subsequently, he failed to return e-mails I sent checking on the status of our taxes. When I called his office after his failure to respond, a secretary told me he might not have our taxes done until the April 15 deadline or after.

I felt his failure to tell me upfront it would possibly take him over a month to do our taxes and his failure to return my e-mails was unprofessional. I will say, he has a very friendly personality, at least initially.

Michael was extremely nice and polite. I met with him at noon gave him all my tax information and it was done before 4:30pm. Granted my tax return wasn't super complicated, but having moved from another state and sold property there, I didn't want to do them myself and miss something important. I would highly recommend Michael White to anyone!

Michael has done a great job doing my taxes the last 2 years, and I will be using him next year. My taxes aren't incredibly complicated, but they are a bit tricky after the considerations that went into my home purchase, as well as renting a room out in my property to a roommate. Michael does a great job of listening and gathering info, and will offer advice on how to best position yourself for taxes in the future. Also, his turnaround times are really fast if you work with him earlier in the tax season.

Michael has done my husband & my taxes since 2009 and we couldn't be happier. He gives us great advice, is very responsive, and is priced fairly. My husband & I are self employed, so our taxes are a little more complicated than most, but Michael makes it easy. He always helps us find additional deductions and cautions us if we're a little too aggressive with some deductions. We'll continue using him and will recommend him to friends and family.

I first contacted Mr. White about three years ago and he's been my accountant ever since. When I first inquired about his services, I had some issues with the IRS that needed to be taken care of and he successfully guided me through the process. In the years since, his knowledge of the tax code has proven to be invaluable and whenever I communicate with him, he always responds in a prompt and timely manner. I now live in Dallas but I've decided to keep him as my accountant.

As a self employed Realtor, I dread tax time. Michael makes it much easier. He does my taxes in timely fashion and charges a fair price. Having not worked with an accountant before, I am glad I was referred to Michael. I can not recommend Michael White enough.

Michael has handled my taxes for the past 3 years now. As a real estate broker & entrepreneur, tax time is pretty scary & really tedious. Mike has always provided me with fantastic advice, completed my returns in a timely fashion, and charged a fair price. He's given me business advice with regards to my books, which I definitely appreciate, and have finally taken. I can't recommend him enough.

Michael is just amazing, I am so very grateful to have found him! He has helped me through a terrifying IRS audit and filed several amended returns, showing the kind of calm reassurance and encouragement sorely needed in such a situation. Not only has Michael handled my self-employment tax situation, he is also helping me build my new business. He is a GEM!
