The Tax Gals - 2025 tax return

She misinterpreted every question I asked her. Her answers didn't address my question. Her communication skills are abysmal. In her office, She asked for information and I scrambled to provide it, then when I handed it to her, she said "oh we don't need that". She computed my taxes. Told me the amount I owed. Gave her my banking info for payment and left. Days later she called and says she couldn't efile my taxes and I needed to come get the return and mail it myself. I asked her to email it to me. No response she was on vacation. Days later she leaves me a voicemail Never mind she submitted my taxes after all. I EMAILED her asking for an emailed copy/receipt. Days later She called today to say she can't send emails to iCloud. But "my returns are sent and everything is ok." I have no proof. Just her phone call. I asked if on the resubmittal did the IRS get the banking info to take the money I owe? She said "I don't have access to that info". I clarified: I just want to confirm the IRS got my banking info again. I know you can't see my bank account ‍. I want to be sure the IRS gets paid. She says "oh yes. It will come out of your account". Dealing with her was exhausting! In my own business I meet and connect with multiple clients everyday. I have never, ever in 10 yrs and 1300 clients had such trouble communicating with someone.

So they did my taxes and did them accurately. I'm not so sure that they saved me any money, but…read morethey didn't cost me any extra either. The problem came when the IRS did not post my final payment. I received a bill from the IRS saying that I owed them over $2000. I sent the letter and the proof of payment to them and asked them what happened? They told me that I had to call the IRS to find out why they didn't post my payment. I even reverified that they were not going to make that call for me. My taxes are complicated, and I have had a CPA prepare my taxes and electronically file them every year for the past 30 years. Things like this don't happen often, but when they do THE CPA IS THE ONE WHO CALLS THE IRS ON MY BEHALF!! If there were an error on the preparation of the document, then I would have been at a loss to explain it. I ended up waiting on the phone for 4 hours and was able to get it straightened out myself. However, I am now looking for another accounting firm because this is not the level of service I require. At the same time, as I said, they prepared my taxes accurately, so I don't think it's fair to give them just one star. I'm not sure I would recommend them though, just based upon the fact that they aren't going to help you if anything goes wrong.

My appointment was set with Vila. She was able to help me get back more than what I expected...legitimately. The office atmosphere is nice. The receptionist Noke is very friendly & professional. They have great customer service, music and reading material for you to enjoy while you wait for your appointment. I totally recommend coming here to file your taxes. Filing fees range anywhere between $80-$150. I know I'll be coming back here every year from now on.

If you are even fortunate enough to get a reply via email the response back there are no appointments available. Even trying to make an appointment is very inconvenient. He needs an assistant if he doesn't already have one. But after I got my taxes done here in 2021 I decided not to return. The other place I went to after him offered to amend my taxes because I owed and said that partially I owed more because he did not offer to do any deductions considering I work for myself on the side, besides my regular job. I was told by Phin that I didn't have any tax deductions. So initially I left it at that. But I personally would rather find another tax person. I drove all that way and spend all that money not to get the best value especially I don't have a heavy amount of expenses; property taxes, dependents, etc. But wish him all the best moving forward just not with me as a tax customer of his establishment.

If you need a new Tax Advisor (or professional bookkeeping company), look no further -- Sean Currey…read moreat CARLSBAD TAX is a subject matter expert that you will never regret hiring. Sean is the ultimate professional -- he is sincere, patient, and a Subject Matter Expert in his field. Sean Currey has a knack for explaining complicated taxes issues in a very straightforward manner and never makes me feel rushed or pressured. Carlsbad Tax also handles all the bookkeeping for my small business and as a Solo Practitioner, I no longer dread tax season. Sean Currey also guides my teenagers who are starting to work and have college careers. He is very personable and never makes us feel rushed or pressured. Last, but certainly not least -- Carlsbad Tax fees are extremely reasonable, and Sean Currey's expertise is worth every penny. I strongly recommend this business as I'm very pleased with the outstanding service received.

I've never written a negative Yelp review before, but I feel compelled to share my experience…read more I was told my return would be completed by April 7 at the latest, but it wasn't finished until April 15. Throughout the process, communication was poor despite multiple follow-ups. I received a generic email on April 10 stating that returns might not be completed on time. It wasn't until after I raised my concerns that I was told I had submitted my documents too late to receive the expected turnaround and they had done me a favor by taking on my tax return. Had that been disclosed during my initial consultation, I would have hired another CPA. After I later received an IRS notice regarding my tax payment, I reached out for assistance and received no response, leaving me to resolve the issue on my own. While the firm ultimately reimbursed the penalties and interest, they refused to acknowledge the broader service issues or take responsibility for the overall client experience. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm.

Pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of this office. Whether you need forms, booklets, or simply…read moreguidance with your tax forms, you'll find everything here. The security guard was really helpful directing people- To enter, you'll need RealID since it's a federal office. Empty your pockets. Be prepared to have the security guard go through your bag and 'wand' over your body/shoes. If anything beep 'on your person', he was very clear about using the back of his hand to pat me down. Appreciate that! If they don't have the forms you need, there's a computer available to request them and they'll be mailed to you. Something to keep in mind since they don't have every form- it's only the most common forms. All in all, it wasn't a bad experience. Lunch is 12-1 and that room is locked up! You'll have to line up behind the stanchions or wait in the small sitting area by the elevators.

I was called superfast and they helped me make my payment. For being something crappy that we have to do, that we all have to do, It was quite nice. Parking was easy. The building itself is really really nice. Trust me it's way easier than doing the stuff online.
