My 2016 taxes could have turned into a DISASTER if I had chosen to trust the wrong person to handle…read moremy confusing situation! I had three states to file plus federal taxes, a cross country move, W2's from 2 different states, stock sale and a closing of a 401k plan. Needless to say I was rather worried I would owe a huge sum of money. Stanley was referred to me by a co-worker that has trusted him with her business and personal finances for years. I made an appointment using the handy online form and quickly received a response from a friendly receptionist. ( I note friendly because most receptionists I've dealt with at various places in the valley are cold and unfriendly.) I was able to get the appointment time I requested. The location is easy to find using google maps and there is plenty of parking. Stanley explained his fees and the process as well as software they use for their tax services. Our taxes were completed and we arranged to pick them up. Signed where it was noted and we were off! He did a great job and found us some deductions we were not expecting. Everyone at the office we worked with was pleasant and quick to respond via phone and email. Thank you! We will be back again!

I've been doing my taxes with Palm Desert Tax for years, and I couldn't be happier with their…read moreservice. Richard handles both my personal and business taxes, and he always goes above and beyond to make the process easy and stress-free. What really stands out is how accommodating he is--every year, no matter how busy things get, he finds a way to fit me into his schedule, even if it means coming in early just to help me out. That kind of dedication is rare, and it makes a huge difference. When it comes to my business and filing taxes, I trust Richard completely. He's not only extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented, but I know he always has my best interests in mind. Having him oversee everything gives me real peace of mind--I wouldn't want anyone else managing such an important part of my life. I'm grateful to have someone I can count on year after year. It's not just about getting the job done--it's knowing everything is handled the right way by someone who genuinely cares.

I used this CPA/tax service after my spouse passed away and I needed help filing a relatively…read moresimple return. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing due to lack of transparency. At no point before the work was completed was I told what the fee would be. I was not given a quote, estimate, or engagement agreement to sign beforehand. When I came to pick up my return, I was asked to sign paperwork at the front desk to file my taxes, but there was still no discussion of the total cost or breakdown of services. The CPA did not personally explain anything and remained in his office while staff handled the transaction. I was charged $500, which was much higher than expected for a straightforward return. I would have appreciated clear communication about pricing before any work was started so I could make an informed decision. I'm sharing this so others know to ask for a written fee agreement upfront before using this service.

Laura's knowledge helped me with a tax error from a prior provider and saved me over 40k! She is always available for question and just a kind business woman. She is a credit to the community and excellent in her field.
