Ken Maxwell made a mistake on our 2016 taxes that cost us over $1600 in overpaid taxes. We still haven't gotten that money back. After trying for more than 7 months to get him to help with another issue and putting up with constant promises that he'd have an answer soon, we're calling it quits. Your results may vary, but I recommend just going somewhere else.

Last year, my wife and I found ourselves in need of a new tax preparer when the tax preparer who had helped us for many years announced his retirement. We asked a friend of ours who is a CPA who he would go to if he needed someone to do his taxes, and he recommended a tax preparer at Tyler Lynch, P.C. We met with the tax preparer, Stephen, last. year, and were very impressed with him.
He was warm, friendly, and understanding. We provided him with all our documents and information and he prepared our returns quickly and at a reasonable cost. This was even though we had come to him later in the tax season than usual, and thought we might end up needing to file for an extension. We were so delighted to work with Tyler Lynch last year that we have become regular clients of theirs. They are preparing our tax returns again this year and we recommend them to anyone who is looking for excellent, personal attention for their tax filing needs.

In the end, the taxes (3 years in arrears), were done well and thoughtfully, but all of the interactions were so sexist, maybe even misogynist--he literally only talked to my husband, not me, even though I had all of the information. So weird, in Cambridge, in 2016-but he is seriously disabled in terms of interacting reasonably with women. No idea what I has gone wrong with him. But my husband also found it bizarre.

The rock stars of the accounting world who make it (almost) a pleasure to do your taxes. Tyler Lynch did both my nonprofit and personal returns the past few years and really did a nice thorough job. Stephen was so professional and explained everything so well even a total numbers and tax code idiot like me could understand it. Thanks guys, well done.

Last fall I went to Tyler and Lynch with a notice that my dad got from the IRS. My dad had forgotten to report the cost basis for an investment transaction because of which the IRS estimate a significantly larger payment and slapped on a large fine in addition to the missing payment. I came in to talk to Michael Lynch, worried, assuming that we will need a CPA to represent us and in the process reduce what we owed to the IRS. Michael was really nice and explained to us how this was a really simple case and told us what to send in to the IRS to explain to them that we owed them nothing.
This worked and we were really happy with the efficiency and calmness with which our case was dealt with. The whole thing wound up costing a lot less then we originally anticipated.

It's tax season, and I can't tell you how much I miss Tyler Lynch. I don't think I realized how good -- efficient, responsive, and reliable -- they were until I've left (to work with an accountant who specializes with small businesses). Their office runs smoothly; the accountants are easy to reach, and they've done an incredible job on my taxes. Tyler Lynch offers excellent and knowledgeable service with warmth.

Met with Mike Lynch today for the first time regarding our tax return. I liked his personality over the phone but the office was a different story. He was 30 minutes late to the meeting. I felt like I had to lead the conversation and point out potential tax issues, rather than him acting like the experienced professional. He looked out the window while talking to me and was obviously not interested in obtaining me as a client.

Tyler Lynch has been doing my taxes for 3 years. I had never used a professional before and am glad I do now. They are very helpful and make the process painless. Every year I get a big packet to fill out and let them know about changes since last year. It is a basically an interview and make the process very smooth. Also, when I had some questions about self-employment and such Mike had me in and gave me great advice.
