Looking for a knowledgeable tax professional who actually cares about their clients finances? Look no further. I've been relying on Philip to handle my tax returns for over a decade. From my time as a waitress dealing with the complexities of tips to having my own small business and being 1099ed, through college, and now as an attorney with bonuses and hefty student loans, Philip has consistently provided exceptional service. He's always responsive to my questions (even when it is not tax season) and takes the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process as he prepares your taxes, offering insights into the purpose behind each form. As an attorney my tax matters can become quite convoluted but Philip has always taken care of everything seamlessly.Philip goes above and beyond by not only preparing my taxes but also providing valuable advice on how to enhance my financial planning for the next year. Whether it's recommending contributions to a traditional 401k or a Roth 401k, or suggesting I take extra deductions for the year, he ensures I am well-informed to make the best decisions for my financial future. I highly recommend Philip; his expertise is unmatched.

Will not be using Philip or Black inc industries again. Once Philip and Black inc got our business and payment he suddenly becomes unavailable and does not answer phone calls nor emails regarding the filed taxes. Also he told me I could not include the child and dependent care credit on my taxes because I could not get my BABY sitters social security number. However the IRS specifically states on their website and by phone that you are still allowed to include the child and dependent care credit on your taxes without the social of your sitter if you show your due diligence in attempting to get it.Yes, you may still claim the child and dependent care credit when you're missing the provider's social security number or other taxpayer identification number by demonstrating due diligence in attempting to secure this information.From IRS WEBSITEClaim the childcare expenses on Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses and provide the care provider's information you have available (such as name and address). Write "See Attached Statement" in the columns corresponding to the missing information. Explain on the attached statement that you requested the provider's identifying number, but the provider didn't give it to you. This statement supports the exercise of due diligence in trying to secure the identifying information for the claim.

Excellent and detailed service was provided by Philip Shipman this year for my tax preparation. As a Dave Ramsey ELP member Philip from Black Ink Industries, Inc. has a teacher's heart. He was very detailed and shared his work with me every step of the way in this years tax prep. Philip was prompt in returning all calls or email regarding next years tax prep also. Thank You Philip Shipman I appreciate your services!

Great first time experience with Phillip at Black Ink Industries. Conveniently uploaded docs through their client portal ahead of time and Phillip was prepared with the info before our appt. It made our appt fast and efficient. Phillip was very personable and explained things in detail. Left feeling confident and pleased with our experience.

I highly recommend the team at Black Ink Industries. They are extremely thorough in preparing your taxes (as one should be!) and they find every way to maximize your tax return. I fully thought I was going to owe taxes for 2020 due to an employment change (thank you pandemic), but Philip worked his magic and I actually ended up with a sizable return! I could not be more grateful to have found such an amazing company and I will definitely be using them for years to come.

Ok accounting, when you can get a hold of them. Appalling communication. Not sure how this company is still in business and somebody hasn't sued them. Worst experience with any professional services we've EVER had. Jennifer has zero work ethics and respect for her customers. A mistake in her accounting cost our business tens of thousands of dollars. Not sure how the other reviewers had such a positive experience. Maybe they play favorites? Do yourself a favor and do not hire this company. You'll regret it. Jennifer has the bad habit of simply not responding to emails & voicemails or replying weeks/months later. How can a business completely ignore its patrons? Just don't hire these unprofessional people. Go somewhere that values your business. Take my word for it.

First-time having my taxes and done as an entrepreneur and Philip was very helpful. Answered all of my questions and reviewed the documents, so that I understood everything. It was smooth process. Tax preparation took a bit longer due to Covid and w2/1099 items arriving late and people getting sick in between it all. But ultimately everything was completed on time. :)

Thank you so very much Phillip. Your expertise and knowledge of tax laws saved me for both my 2019 and 2020 taxes. I appreciate your thoroughness and the detail you provided about my two years of tax returns. I found my taxman, and will definitely be back in the years to come. I highly recommend Black Ink Industries.

Jennifer at Black Ink Industries has been doing my personal and business taxes since 2006. I will not let anyone else near my financials. She is completely professional, knowledgeable and always gets me the best refund. Will continue to use Black Ink Industries for as along as they are around!

Last year I knew that I needed a new tax professional. This year like many of us I was really really worried. I tried TurboTax but I quickly realized that I had too many questions and the TurboTax fee was already adding up. My return is a bit complex. THANK GOODNESS that I was referred to Black Ink Industries. Jennifer was amazing. She was patient she asked questions she listened to me. She explained everything. I was relieved when I left I knew that I was finally in good hands.
