Jack as a professional as well as the friend he has become. Jack helped us with years of very
complicated business taxes and continues to do our taxes now that we are retired.”

“Public Tax takes care of all my business and personal taxes. I am never worried or have to
stress about what needs to be done; it’s all laid out and given to me in a timely manner. With a
busy lifestyle and a small business to run, I cannot say enough about what having a professional
handle my affairs means to me. Faith and Trust are what I have in Public Tax Services; they
have never let me down.”

“R. Jack Smitchger has been doing our family’s taxes for more than 27 years [beginning] when
he was working for Business Tax Services. Since then he opened his own practice and the
service has been awesome. You can call anytime and get an instant answer to any tax question
you have (if he doesn’t know he will find out and call you right back. My husband and I both
worked for other employers; I quit and started my own business. We also bought and sold
another business during the same time, had kids, houses, debt, everything with some tax
implications. Mr. Smitchger always gave great advice and can do complicated tax returns as
well as simple ones. We would not trust anyone else to do our taxes.”
