    Proof that I did pay for a service they are denying.
    Jen S.

    In response to Daniel, I would like to note that the company's responses appear to imply that customers are making false statements. The claim that they reached out to every individual with a "J" name is inaccurate, as I was never contacted. This approach feels like a deflection rather than genuine customer service. For reference, I have included a screenshot of an email from when I conducted business with them. In my experience, their practices raise significant concerns, and I strongly advise against promoting this business. Original Post: My experience with Honest Tax Solutions was so frustrating that I feel obligated to warn others. From the start, things felt off. I was quoted one amount for their services, and by the time they finished fumbling through my return, they expected me to pay significantly more and without any clear explanation. When I asked about the sudden price hike, I was met with attitude and vague answers, like I was supposed to just trust them blindly. I came to them expecting professional help with my taxes and what I got was the equivalent of someone who skimmed the IRS website for a few hours and decided they were a tax expert. I asked a very simple question: why was my return completely different from last year despite having nearly the same financial situation? You'd think this would be something they could explain. Instead, I got blank stares, defensive remarks, and eventually, a condescending "You must be wrong. We're honest. We know what we're doing." That was literally the extent of their explanation. Every time I tried to get more clarity, I was met with more frustration. They couldn't walk me through anything, and when I pressed for help, they got visibly annoyed and started acting like I was the problem. They were completely unintelligible in their responses, offered zero support, and just repeated the same lines over and over. There was no transparency, no accountability, and certainly no professionalism. At one point, I honestly wondered if they were even trained in tax prep. It felt like I was paying for someone to Google answers and guess their way through. And yet, they had the nerve to get angry when I questioned their work. They doubled down on their incompetence like it was a badge of honor. The worst part? They acted like they were doing me a favor by barely doing the job I was paying them for. I walked away feeling taken advantage of, confused, and angry. I had to go to another tax professional just to sort out what they did wrong. And yes--they did it wrong. Do yourself a favor: stay far away from Honest Tax Solutions. They're neither honest nor capable. Save your time, money, and sanity and go to someone who actually knows what they're doing and can speak to you with respect.

    Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy. They talk a big game. They charge a big price and the follow through is terrible. It took me over a two months to get confirmation that they actually sent my taxes to the IRS. For the past 23 years that I've been doing my taxes. I've generally received my money in 2-3 weeks. One thing that really got me is they decided to use my account information to pay themselves. They didn't even send me an invoice and let me pay them. They went ahead and took the money from my account. something is seriously wrong at this company. I can't call you at the right phone number. They can't seem to get you an email. I checked all my emails trash, junk mail inbox nothing. i've never in my life had so many issues with one company. Be warned the second you sign your tax return and send it in. They take your money. They don't ask for payment. They just take your money. gotta love that they carry more about getting their money than actually getting the job done. honestly, I didn't have a good experience with anybody who worked there not Daniel not Bree not Kate. I just had to keep asking and asking and asking over and over again to get what I wanted. That's insane to charge somebody almost $600 for a tax return, but then yet you can't even provide answers for over two months to whether their tax return has been submitted.

    Been using this company for seven years. Very helpful and extremely technical. I learned that one of the tax preparers here worked at Ernst & Young for most her career. That alone speaks volumes.

Their portal is easy to use & efficient. I liked that I could actually see how each document was used, with markers showing exactly where numbers were pulled from in the PDFs. Their fee was reasonable, and I believe I more than made that back through their expertise. They caught items that my previous tax preparer missed, which made a real difference. If your taxes involve more than just basic W-2s or 1099s, I highly recommend working with a knowledgeable CPA like Sam.

Before working together, I didn't realize how much opportunity there was to optimize everything strategically. Olga took a comprehensive approach, advising on mergers and acquisitions, structuring entities correctly, and guiding several real estate transactions, including cost segregation strategies. She also helped plan around retirement through Roth conversions and coordinated everything into one cohesive tax strategy. The impact has been significant--well into six-figure tax savings--while also creating a clear structure for future investments and business growth. This goes far beyond tax preparation; it's true advisory and long-term planning. If you're an investor or business owner dealing with complex decisions and want a CPA who thinks strategically and proactively, I highly recommend working with Olga.

Before working together, I was mostly reacting at tax time and missing planning opportunities. Olga approached everything strategically--looked at my salary, equity compensation, and business income together, helped optimize entity structure, and implemented proactive tax planning for the year ahead. The biggest difference is that this isn't just tax filing. It's ongoing advisory. We identified deductions and strategies I didn't know existed, reduced my overall tax liability significantly, and created a clear long-term plan. The advisory more than paid for itself. If you're a high-income professional who also owns a business and wants real tax strategy instead of just compliance, this is the kind of CPA support you need.
