Douglas, NE

"WOW WHAT A GREAT CLASS.. I am an old school teacher and school administrator and would rate this an A+ presentation. Abbey did a fantastic job getting us information on this very touchy and scary issue. I have a return that had the wife's number used in (2015) last year and this year (2016) the son's number was used. We have had several people in my small town of 2500 who have been contacted that they owed money. I did not do taxes for all of them but called me for advice. Abbey gave me some great ideas on slides to help reasure everyone what to do. They need to be posted and should be shared with everyone. As we always said in the education field if a person is from more than 35 miles away they are an AUTHORITY IN THE AREA!!!"
