Mr Chute makes me feel like I'm seen and valued as a person and not just a number. He also took the time to engage with my autistic son, even gifting him with an autographed book. I can't afford a lot when getting my taxes done and have too much going on in my life to try to do them myself. Phillip has been a reliable and affordable answer for these past couple of years and I plan on relying on his services for many years to come! read more

Philip and his lovely wife Nette helped me during a challenging tax season. I called them and they had me come very soon to meet with them. They are continuing to assist me with issues from a large firm that did not do things they should have. Philip and Nette have been by my side every step of the way. Wonderful, caring people who have their clients' best interests at heart. Thanks, Philip & Nette!! read more

Mr Chute is the best tax advisor and preparer I have had the pleasure of meeting. I was going to do my taxes myself but since I had recently retired I thought it best to have a professional assist me and my wife with our tax returns and I was pleasantly surprised. We met Mr. Chute and his Wife on March 6th 2023, with all of our paperwork and within a week our taxes were completed. I am so glad I found Temecula Tax Service on yelp. Our taxes are done and we can rest easy knowing that the most professional service was rendered. Thank You. read more

My first time seeing Phillip was today 3/28/23. From the moment you walk in you can feel a positive welcoming energy from his wife Nettie, Phillip himself, and others in his establishment. I fell into Phillips office by doing research beforehand. I read his bio on his website and I immediately knew I could trust him, knowing that he has extensive knowledge as a tax preparer and more! Meeting Phillip was a pleasure, I felt honored to be able to listen to his life/career stories. In addition, I had the opportunity to obtain a copy of two of the books he wrote. I started reading The Silver Thread of Life. Beautiful stories, I can't stop reading them! We all have those silver threads as part of our lives if we allow ourselves to be open-minded. read more

I was looking for a reliable and affordable service in Temecula to do my taxes and I found it with Philip Chute and Temecula Tax. I am the kind of person that waits till the last minute to do things and they got me in late on a Friday and tax deadline was the following Monday. They got them done over the weekend and I went in late Monday to sign and they e-filed them for me. I got back more money than I was expecting, if your looking for a reliable tax service then look no further, Phillip knows what he's doing. I'm very impressed and satisfied, I'll be back each year at tax time but not last minute. Thanks Phillip and team at Temecula Tax. read more

Mr. Chute was very nice and informed as we discussed some of my general tax questions regarding starting a business!

It was our first time using the services of Phillip Chute for our income tax. I usually do our own taxes but since I sold a rental property last year, our tax return was a bit complicated particularly in regards to the capital gains tax that was enormous to say the least. Phillip and his team did an excellent job in completing our tax return accurately while maximizing the tax exemptions that we were entitled to. We were very satisfied with the services that they provided and the warm treatment that they gave us. As a fellow veteran, Phillip even gave me an Army challenge coin to add to my collection. Which reminds me, I have to give him one of my Navy coin as part of the tradition. read more

Some good businesses deserve to be yelped on a continuing basis. This is one of them! read more

I received an IRS audit of my self employment tax return right before covid. Phillip helped me prepare and organize my response to IRS. After 2 submissions to the IRS that were claimed to have never been received. We had to go to tax court on the issue. After more then 2 years, thanks to Phillips help, the tax court decision was in our favor and I can finally put the matter to rest. read more

Great experience. Needed an amended return. He was able to see me on short notice, got it done quickly, and didn't gouge me.

I've been using Phil and his team for the past 6 years for a few different things, including my annual returns. Phil is very responsive and knowledgeable. He is patient with my questions and happy to jump on the phone when needed. His advice is helpful and meets you where you are in terms of sophistication. Furthermore, Phil advised my daughter in law with additional tax advice, even though she used another EA for this tax year without charging her. She will be using him for the next tax year For sure. read more

My current accountant, whom prepared my taxes for several years ,moved last year. I was in need of someone who was familiar with rental properties and tax deferred exchanges. I googled this and found Mr. Chute on yelp. I immediately emailed him and he responded right back to me indicating he would be interested in talking to me and preparing my taxes. Shortly there after I made an appointment to see him and bring my tax information in for preparation. Approximately five days later he had my draft copy ready for review.

I needed to find someone local to handle an unfiled return from a previous year. When I called I was quoted a price of $150. I had already got all the documents from the IRS. When I arrived, I was told the price was $250. I told Phillip I was told it was $150. He said ok and when we finished he said I could pick up the documents in 2 days. He gave me receipt for payment. When I came to pick up my return, I was told a $50 balance was owed. I got no explanation. In my opinion this was very unprofessional. I paid the $50 but I will not return for future services. read more

Phil is very detailed, organized and explains everything very thorough. We highly recommend his services!

Fantastic help from Phil. As a real estate professional, I needed help a few years ago, and that's when I found Phil. The other tax guy I had used was worthless. A normal tax preparer cannot do what Phil does. Phil is an enrolled agent. Phil is educated. He is super intelligent, a wonderful writer too. Thank you for all your good work Phil over the years, and into the future. You are my friend. read more

There are many things in life you definitely should not do, among them is trying to perform surgery on yourself and getting involved in a land war in Asia. A lesser one is trying to do your own taxes. Using online tax services and doing it yourself is fine if your still a teenager and working your first fastfood job. However once you become a full fledged adult and your life consists of dividend income, write offs and even the buying and selling of property you quite literally do yourself a disservice by trying to do it yourself. I littereraly got a tax bill from the IRS that made me spit out my morning coffee, the amount they were requesting was bordering on the absurd....and it was all because I tried to do something I'm really not qualified to do. In steps Phillip B Chute, EA to say he saved my life would without question be hyperbole. But I can honestly say he saved my financial bacon, and he will be the only one who touches my taxes in the future.... read more

I found Phillip Chute on a web search when we decided to move to California. When it comes to taxes, I freeze up; I find doing taxes complicated and with the laws changing every year you need someone with experience. I called and set up a meeting, and he was very reassuring. He answered all of my questings, looked over my last few returns and told me the amount I needed to pay for taxes. As you know, he will be doing all my taxes from now on. His credentials are incredible. His kind, reassuring, extensive knowledge of tax codes and pleasant personality will assure you of his talents. I forgot to mention he is a veteran (Thank You Phillip for your service). How can you go wrong, he is experience and a Veteran. read more

Phil is very easy to work with, flexible and accommodating. Highly recommend his services!
