Berkeley Tax Service - Registered Tax Preparer

Berkeley Tax Service

(16 reviews)

Gourmet Ghetto, Downtown Berkeley

I used Roy's services for several years. He works quickly and I found his price reasonable…read more However, there were two issues that eventually led me to stop using his services: 1) Poor security around sensitive information: Roy doesn't use a secure portal for tax documents like many services do nowadays. Instead, you either email your documents or leave them at the cafe he owns with whatever barista happens to be behind the cash register. You also pick up and sign for your tax return at the cafe that he owns, not directly from him, but with the barista. This always made me uncomfortable but I tolerated it. The last straw was when he asked me to send my bank account information over email for direct deposit. When I said I wasn't comfortable doing that, he asked me to drop it off at the cafe (with the barista, not him), which I wasn't comfortable with either. 2) Unwillingness to research new tax law In 2025, I installed a solar system in my home, and wanted to receive the 30% solar tax credit that was going away at the end of the year. During 2025, I emailed him to ask several question about eligibility for the tax credit, leveraging my tax liability to maximize the credit, etc. He responded that he couldn't answer any of my questions because "the law could change at any time" and he wouldn't "receive the tax program until early January and solar credit won't be ready until late January." At the time, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but now I know that the law was clear then, and he just didn't have that level of expertise. Then in 2026, when it was time to file 2025 taxes, he wouldn't answer what tax form needed to be filled out for the solar credit or what documentation I needed to provide him, despite my asking multiple times. Fortunately, I found a new tax preparer who already knows everything about the solar tax credit, knew exactly what form needed to be filed, what documentation I needed to submit, and could easily answer all the other questions I had. So in my experience, Roy has some gaps in his knowledge and is unwilling to even admit to those gaps, much less proactively go do some research to learn so he can help his clients.

Great service, highly recommended. Roy is straightforward, very easy to work with, and quick too…read more There's nothing not to like here!
