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.

So very pleased with our tax returns. We’ve been going to Phillip Shipman for 4 years now and each year has been a great experience. Philip is professional, knowledgeable, personable and and expert in his field. My husband and I plan to be customers every year.
Thank you Phillip 😃

Black Ink Industries and Phillip Shipman have been doing my taxes for five years. Phillip is an outstanding Agent. Phillip is professional, knowledgeable, personable, very thorough, honest and is up to date on all the Tax laws. Phillip takes care when preparing his clients taxes and then takes the time to explain everything he did, during the tax preparation process. I found Phillip and the team at Black Ink Industries from a recommendation on the Dave Ramsey website, "Ramsey Solutions". Black Ink Industries was pre-screened, approved and recommended as a "Preferred Provider", by the Ramsey organization. After working with Phillip, I can see why Blank Ink Industries earned the "Ramsey Solutions" stamp of approval. I highly recommend Philip Shipman and Black Ink Industries for all your tax needs.

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 WEBSITE

Claim 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!

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.

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.
