I originally found Darryl Hale on Yelp and had him prepare our taxes the last couple of years…read morewithout issue. This year Darryl reached out directly offering tax planning services. After paying the $2,500 assessment fee Darryl recommended two tax strategies, both of which raised significant concerns: 1) GFX Trading - a complex Series LLC foreign currency structure. This strategy was presented as a way to generate large tax deductions through foreign currency trading. When I asked for written explanations of how the strategy worked, what the economic substance was, and how it would hold up under IRS scrutiny, the answers were incomplete and at times inaccurate. When I declined to proceed, he called me immediately, insisting "everyone is doing this," and became defensive. I later understood that his affiliated company receives commissions from this arrangement, which was not disclosed before he recommended it. 2) DNA Harmony - involving the purchase of gift certificates for Jazz Band Splash red-light therapy. This was presented as a deductible expense through a separate Series LLC structure. Again, I requested information in writing about the IRS basis for deducting these types of purchases, but the responses did not address compliance, valuation, or audit exposure. When I decided not to move forward with either strategy based on the lack of clear documentation and concerns about risk, I requested a refund of my $2,500 fee. The request was denied. My experience did not meet the level of professionalism I expect from a tax advisor. I would not return nor recommend Darryl Hale and will be filing a complaint with the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility and notifying the California Franchise Tax Board.

I called and they were very rude and he talked down to me. I hired another cpa firm in Los Angeles.read more

He's done our taxes for two years in a row at this point, and we are so happy with his tax expertise.

I'm so grateful for Daniel's continuous guidance over the past two years. We hope to work with him for quite a while!

I recently hired Tulsi Tax Solutions to prepare a somewhat complicated past due return for my…read moredeceased fathers estate. I had been putting the task off unfortunately, because I didn't know where to start, having zero experience with anything other than my own personal income tax returns. I received letters from the IRS and the State, however, asking for the returns, and it was only going to get more expensive if I put it off! Tulsi completely understood my situation and was able to prepare the returns for me with a very quick turnaround time, which I much appreciated. I also had a ton of questions, and since my Dad had past away several years earlier, did not have all the necessary backup paperwork that someone would normally have. Tulsi was able to 'think outside the box' to get the returns completed for me. She is knowledgable, reasonably priced, honest, and her years of experience shows. Thank you, Tulsi, for helping me during this stressful time! I would highly recommend Tulsi Tax Solutions to anyone needing tax help!

I have a few businesses and it took 4 CPAs to find the right one and when you know, you know.

He doesn't feel like other CPAs I have worked with where you can tell it's all about the paycheck for them. You can tell he genuinely cares and wants to help.

So after discussing my concerns - and he was busy - only thing I could do is repeat the entire tax return myself on Quicken and on mine the Fed/State #'s were not matching his. I shared the summary points but he didn't have time to look at it and told me the numbers are all on the tax forms. So again I redid my tax filing myself, went through the entire Federal/state/statements and identified the error and correction needed on the 2nd day after he completed mine, after i forming he said I should have told him earlier Despite submitting prior 2024 taxes, and the application questioneer form - he says that people will tell him that- regardless I did fill out his forms and provided him my previous tax returns too He said the forms filled out were already a week ago and I should remind him - but Im not sure how I would know if he did his diligence in the first place to know he missed something Since I already paid the $475 and after the back and forth, the numbers matched what I did on Quicken we moved forward and he filed it So Id say if you made it this far on the review: your mileage may vary but you should redo the tax filing yourself to make sure the numbers make sense
