Jino Joseph & Associates

2016 is the third year I have filed my taxes with Jino Joseph & Associates. This year my husband and I were even able to file from out of state where we recently relocated. Everything was handled via email with extreme ease and convenience. I highly recommend using this service for your tax filing. It is quick, easy, and very reasonably priced!

My husband and I have been going to Jino Joseph for the past few years and have no complaints! He is quick and efficient and knows his stuff! He offers suggestions throughout the tax appointment to improve next years outcome and takes his time to answer any questions we might have. I would recommend him to our family and friends without hesitation.

I was a little panicky when my long-​time tax preparer retired. So I turned to Unilocal to find someone new. I went to Jino based on his reviews here and have never regretted it. He is patient and kind and fast.

Great service!

FULL of mistakes, that will come back to bite you in the years to follow. I have been doing my taxes myself for years, and in 2014 I decided to use a professional as we had purchased a rental property for the first time and I did not want to mess it up. But who knew it would still be messed up, thanks to Jino :(. He incorrectly reported the basis for depreciation as the ENTIRE purchase price of the house. This year I am reading through IRS’ website for rental properties, and I see that land value cannot be depreciated — only the building value and improvements can be depreciated.
Thanks to Jino, now I am having to file 1040X to correct my last year’s return.

My husband and I have been using Jino for our taxes for the past 3 years. His friendly manner and easy scheduling make tax time more pleasant for sure.
We take care of filing taxes for my mother-​in-​law and last year we realized we hadn’t deducted all of her medical expenses for the previous two years. Jino updated the forms for both years and gave us the copies in envelopes to mail to the tax boards at no charge.
Having a tax professional we can turn to with questions and trust to give us a straight answer is priceless.

5 years later and I’m prepping for another tax return with Jino. He’s answered questions along the way and been spot on. Every single time. If you dread tax time or don’t think to yourself ‘my accountant rules!’ You need to contact this guy.

I only write reviews in extremely compelling cases — and most of those have been to give 5 star reviews for businesses. It makes sad when I have to write a scathing review and it is only warranted because I hope others don’t have to experience what we went through.
My husband and I did our Unilocal research for a tax accountant, and concluded on Jino based on the strong reviews and his competitive quote compared to others with strong reviews. We typically do our own taxes, but had purchases an investment property this year for which we had specific questions and were seeking advice. We thought the time saved by consulting a professional would be worth it. We did more than the average amount of preparation — my husband went on Jino’s website days before the appointment to prepare, and we had all of our accompanying documents as soft copies.
The day of the appointment we were stuck in horrible traffic on the bridge and were 15 mins late to the appt. We called him and informed of this and he was okay with this. With the exception of this, we were on top of everything else.
Jino zipped through our taxes in 30 mins and we needed to finish some more things that I asked us to email him to file the final paperwork.
A few days later as we were preparing to send him the additional information, my husband noted a few major errors Jino had made on the taxes. This was pretty unsettling, so he had to sit down and take 1.5 hrs to look through closely and he noticed even more errors: certain forms not accounted for, incorrect dollar amounts etc. Just like the other reviewer from ³⁄₂₆ — we found that Jino makes a TON of mistakes. We contacted Jino and informed him about these errors, hoping he would correct them and that’s what we realized how utterly unprofessional he was. He blamed us for the errors, saying that we were late and didn’t bring the correct information ready to go! There wasn’t any sense of accountability or much less an apology for some pretty egregious errors. He agreed to make the changes, however when we sent him all of the information pointing out the errors, he said he wants to return our money and does not have the time to finish our taxes. It seems he was pissed off that someone was pointing out his mistakes and didn’t want to deal with that.
In the end, we wasted a lot more time dealing with Jino’s ridiculous degree of unprofessionalism and lack of accountability and would advise people to stay away — especially if you don’t want to spend the time to review all his work to make sure it’s correct.

If you are on F-​1 visa, please do not go to Jino for filing your tax returns. He asked for my W-2’s on email. First, he filed for returns from the wrong state. I had paid taxes in NY and he filed for returns from NJ. Secondly, he miscalculated my income on the returns. Then, when that was corrected, personal details were wrong. He gave my address as that from the country «Algeria». A complete shoddy job. To top it all, the deductions were incorrect. When I told him to correct the deductions, he replied saying he isn’t doing student returns any more. I am not sure if that is the case since he did it over email. But definitely a big NO for F-​1 students who want to do it from their home.

I decided to try and find a tax expert closer to my location. The past two years I was driving too far and decided now was a good time to do some research. I went to Unilocal and found some really great reviews for Jino. After reading many of the great comments I decided to make an appt. The scheduling was easy and the appt went very smooth, as Jino knew exactly how to efficiently process my small business and personal returns. He even called the IRS on the spot to get a question answered. Additionally, after the taxes were done I had a couple of questions and Jino responded promptly and validated my thoughts, which was very comforting. Jino is a no nonsense tax expert and is very efficient. highly recommend giving him a call and let him apply his expertise to your particular needs.

Finally, found a great place to do my taxes every year. Quick, friendly, honest and professional.

Been going to Jino for years now and I have been very pleased and appreciative of his fast friendly service. I will always go to Jino and highly recommend him to others. He’s a great guy and does a great job.

I am soooooooo glad I paid attention to all the great reviews. Jino deserves every single one of his five star reviews. I went into his office overwhelmed AND embarrassed by my mess and walked out a happy and «lighter» person. He is quick, explains things clearly, and is very friendly. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Jino is always friendly and easy to deal with.
He quickly fills out the tax forms and will have you in and out of there in about 30 minutes depending on how complex your return is.
I have to admit that I used turbotax myself for 10 years, which is ok if your returns are short and simple, but if you have investments or other sources of income, turbotax can get very confusing and the deluxe or première versions end up pricey for a DIY, also there always seems to be one or two questions that will confuse you and google can only help you so much.
Jino runs the business from a detached office on his property, it might seem sketchy at first but don’t worry about it, if he really wanted to he could rent space in a business plaza and charge you a lot more.
Thanks Jino for making my life easier!

I found Jino on Unilocal three years ago and have been going back every year, as long as he is around I don’t see myself going anywhere else. Jino is beyond awesome. He will do his best to squeeze you in even when I called last minute during tax season. He is fast and knowledgeable making tax filing seem like a breeze even when I have to pay. Should there be an issue i’m unclear of, he’s good at clarification and knows exactly what to do next. I’ve gone to various CPAs before here and this by far has made my life so much easier. Walked out within 30mins with my tax efiled, copy neatly in folder for my record and returns to be automatically deposited. Thanks Jino. See you next year.

I’ve been going to a family friend for years for my taxes until she screwed up and forgot to e-​file ours. I did my 2011 on my own last year but I decided to try to find someone nearby this year and found Jino. I was skeptical at first but he seems to have great reviews. I emailed him and we communicated for a few days until I finally decided to go with him. I got to his place and I wasn’t expecting a residential place. His office was in his backyard. He was pleasant to talk to and answered all my questions. I was in and out of there within 30 – 35 minutes. I forgot my checkbook but he takes Paypal too and that made it convenient! Thanks Jino!

We have been filing taxes for years now but never came across someone so very much professional, knowledgeable, and efficient as Jino. My husband who is almost always skeptical about tax associates ended up being one of his biggest fans. He just won’t stop recommending to our friends and family.
I would highly recommend him to anyone. Looking forward to filing taxes next year.

I was referred to Jino Joseph by a close friend of mine and I was very pleased with his individual tax service. He was fast, efficient, had a monitor facing me and talked through everything. He is very knowledgable. He answered every question I had. He filed my return electronically and I walked out with my entire file. In addition, he sent a copy of my return via email so I also have a soft copy.
In the past my accountant met with me, got all my information then sent me off with an «I’ll call you in the next few weeks when it’s ready.» Once ready I went in, signed, got my copy and waited longer for my refund. With Jino everything was done on the spot, of course as long as you have all the necrssary documentation.
I would refer any family member or friend of mine to him.
He is also very flexible on scheduling.

I had a sticky divorce completed last year, and as a result taxes were a pain. The IRS came after me twice, but because Jino had been thorough and accurate with my 2010 filing, the issues were addressed and resolved with 2 emails and 10 minutes of work. Whew!
Thanks again Jino, I will be recommending you to my family and friends…
