For those not understanding the taxes issue: the service was presented as FREE initially. Then without knowledge it seems, Akil started doing them and then finished the service by charging for it. But not only that, he already took the money from the return. I don’t care if he got $1 million more. The agreement was the service would be free. And then it changed. The sister could really sue him for the service fee he took because the agreement was not between them

[@jayj.6146]

RIGHT! She also didn’t have the opportunity to ask questions, like why did the return increase so much? She may not have wanted him to do anything to increase her return that could possibly get her in trouble later.

[@lashayf3758]

Well that’s a problem she should take up with her sister who had him to take over. That’s not his fault! Yet why are you mad you gave $500 when you still got $2500 and you would’ve only got $700. Let’s be real!

If the sister wants to take it that route by suing him then he can also cause her legal trouble by amending those taxes and then she would have to deal with the irs.

I would like to see an update from this Couple & their Families. Yes, there were a few red and pink flags on both sides, but there was also shades of Green too. I believe both Families have assets that the other sides can benefit from, creating a balance of energy they all need and want. Alexis and Akil are good people, they just have a few rough spots ... Which we all do. I actually hope they are still working things out, and if they are no longer together I hope they walked away from each other peacefully. But I actually like them and their families, take away the miscommunication and misunderstandings and you have a bunch of Good People who really want to share the Love they have in their Hearts. That is what I actually see.

He charged her a fee for doing her taxes, period! For her to think otherwise is stupid as hell

[@sus-tw2ls]

When charging someone you usually have already told them. When stealing you don't say a word.

This is the reason why I don’t work with family and friends. They expect you to work for free. He should have been upfront about his fees and his intent to charge her.

That's disturbing that she didn't know where her fiance worked. Or that he wasn't honest about his actual employment. He sounds like a hustler...and if that's the case, just say that.

That dude seems a bit sassy if you ask me. If they get narried im not sirr itll last bc this is toxic and he does not seem to see anything wrong on his end.

[@malissacalhoun3608]

I don’t understand why they are mad at him about the taxes . He got you way more money back and that’s his fee. And her mom thinks using profanity is disrespectful but she is very disrespectful with her behavior and body language.

[@mechelle230]

Right and there’s curse words in the bible so… i just dont get their rationale. Plus the daughter works at a gas station.

[@TheCre1988]

I really like his Aunt and his sister. I think his sister came off so hard because she didn’t like the way Alexis family was treating her brother and I get it. Akil seems like a decent guy who is a little rough around the edges but the fact that he apologized to her mom and is willing to do the work to make it works speaks volumes about his character. Alexis disposition towards Akil seems to shift when her family is around. Just my opinion, I do pray they are able to work everything out.

[@OMGPOWPOWGREEN]

Sometimes even having your parent in your life doesn’t matter if they aren’t a healthy, stable, emotionally available, loving parent. Just speaking from experience.

[@sus-tw2ls]

It seems that way unless he get this behavior from his father

[@stylesbycryssie]

Her family is unwelcoming and aggravating. You're mad about him getting paid for doing his job. You'd have to pay anybody to do it. Grow up.

[@stylesbycryssie]

​​​​@@sus-tw2lsman bye. You under everyone's post saying the same thing. You're wrong. If you were listening, the sister had the taxes first and gave it to him to do. She should have told her sister. That has nothing to do with him. He did what he was suppose to do like any other tax preparer. You must be a paid advocate for her family. You going hard and you don't even make sense.

Im getting that unless he's of a higher tax bracket or is a man from their church, her mom isnt going to think anyone is good enough for her daughter. Mom casted judgement from the forst curse word. She's using that disrespect as a shovel to keep digging at him. Thats him and he's gonna change from one dinner for no one.

[@nikiahandy4403]

This was actually a good episode ❤

[@allegroaffettuoso9012]

1. Her family is trying to play so bougie, when they look like they just got out the projects. Sit down. The fake first lady act that the mother is putting on is tiring. 2. The fact that the sister was mad that he charged her fee for doing HER taxes when he got her DOUBLE what she was going to earn is tacky. 3. Everybody doesn’t agree with your ideology. There are people who don’t mind cursing. She needs to accept that. 4. Honestly, he can do better. Her family just looks way too involved, too fake-bougie, trying too hard to seem fancy when you can still the bacon grease on them. They turned me all the way off.

[@SweetNSpicy700]

It's sad how she cries and he looks like he doesn't care for her family or anything like it's a joke to him. He's more into who has the power instead of loving Alexis.

[@jappeeshetu]

That kind of difference in a refund amount usually involves lying on your taxes. He probably shouldn’t have mentioned that.

Hmmm, oceans do meet, but it takes time, compromise and respect of the other for them to honestly "communicate" and blend. Good episode with valid concerns. Although, the sister's issue with paying for services when he doubled her refund, even after paying the fee, was disappointing, greedy, ungrateful, and entitled. The "fee" actually cost her nothing but his time. Nothing is free! Everyone must pay for services rendered! Do better!🙄

If he can't have a conversation with respectable people without cursing, he doesn't have a job.

[@luvubghed]

Maybe I’m hearing something different than everyone else because Alexis said her sister asked if SHE would do her taxes and she said yes she would for free. Alexis then took it to him to see if she could get more for her did not disclose to her sister that she did so and he would charge a fee and took the 500 without communicating that she had her man do them instead. That’s sneaky and to most would be considered stealing and if it wasn’t in the realm of that then why did no one feel that telling the sister it would be a charge because HE charges for what he does and she passed it over to him would be the right thing to do. It looks sneaky and is a hustler mentality I’m sure Alexis was in on it because no way you tell your sister one thing and then allow your man to steal her money. I’m sure she told him she was doing it for free and if she didn’t she should’ve also had a problem with him pocketing her sisters money then

[@mechelle230]

He sent her an invoice before he sent the taxes off and plus he did it under his business license. The sister could of said something then when the invoice came but she didnt. The sister made off more by letting him doing it, the sister feels entitled and wanted a free service .

[@Wildcherry116]
