Mason was so helpful! He was fast and efficient, with a great deal of understanding for the tax system. So glad they were available to help! Great price too! read more

Jean handled both my personal and business taxes with ease. She addressed lots of edge case scenarios (foreign taxes, etc) and taught me a thing or two along the way. The process was so seamless that I didn't even need to visit the office in person. I will definitely be using Jean in the future! read more

Alan is amazing! I had three W2 forms from two states as well as a 1099 form. Ultimately, his fee was cheaper than his original quote and I got a nice return! He also took a look at how I filled out my current W4 and advised me on how to edit my current withholdings so I won't owe money to the IRS at the end of the year. He's also incredibly knowledgeable about other personal finance / insurance topics - we spoke about health care options and he recommended a low cost option for personal item insurance. Thank you Alan!! read more

Wow, where do I begin? We've used H&R block for many many many years until..... Our friend J. Szeto referred his family tax guy to us and recommended we try Alan L. Well, we did and boy are we glad we did! We had Alan review our past 2-3 years of tax returns and to our surprise, he'd found a few gems all of which ADDED UP to a "refund" amount of over $10K. We aren't sure why our previous H&R rep catch any of the discrepancies, but we're sure glad we met Alan!!! We're now very loyal to "thetaxguysf" (aka Alan L.). We totally & emphatically recommend Alan and know that he's filled with up-to-date tax knowledge, patience, reliability, flexibility and he's just an all around cool & understanding good guy! How yes, ask him about life insurance. read more

Alan has been doing my taxes for the past couple of years and I would not trust anybody else with such a complex matter.

ALAN IS A GEM. I have been going to Alan for the past several years and he's my tax guru. Alan is personable, genuine, and a consummate professional. Everytime I see him, I learn something new to help my financial situation - whether it is learning about what items count for tax deductions to being more financially savvy - Alan is my go-to. I also love the fact that Alan is never pushy or impatient. There have been times where he sat with me for over three hours to help me with my taxes. Throughout the arduous process, Alan was knowledgeable, honest, humorous, and most important, enlightening. Last year, he even helped my boyfriend with the frustrating process of getting health insurance through Covered CA! (all withiin 10 minutes). I wouldn't trust anyone else with my taxes. Skip other avenues of tax filing (TurboTax, H&R Block) and go straight to Alan. You won't be disappointed! read more

I needed to find a new tax person as H&R was charging me almost $700 to do my (and my husband's) taxes. I looked on Yelp to find someone in San Bruno and found Alan. Really close to my house, convenient hours and HALF the price of H&R for the same amount of documents. He even gave me a quote (after asking some questions about what we were filing) and because it was so reasonable I made an appointment. Really nice guy, knowledgeable and we will be going to Alan for all of our tax needs from now on. So glad we found him. read more

This guy is such a pleasure to work with. He's very professional, knowledgeable and patient. I can't say enough good things about my experience with him so I'll just leave it at "find out how amazing he is on your own!". read more

Alan is GREAT! Last year was our first time, we had a few extra forms to do that year and decided to find someone reliable. Thanks to yelp, we found a TaxGuy. This year will be our second time and he did not disappoint. Because I was unable to attend the appointment, my husband went with all our forms and Alan willingly called me at work to review with me over the phone some school questions during our appointment (i went back to school last year). He replies quickly to my emails and is always clear and concise with everything. He has even recommended a trusted financial advisor. I look forward to many years with Alan, THANK YOU! read more

We were referred to Alan from our old tax person since she no longer worked at H&R. Since our taxes were a little different we were hesitant at first because we did not want to have any issues but Alan made us feel like we had nothing to worry about and he was very informative with any questions we had. So after our first year with with him, we definitely knew that he knew what he was talking about and no one else would be able to understand our situation better than he did...he has now been our TAX GUY for the past 3 years!!! We have no complaints and you will not regret working with him!! read more
