The people at this branch of Liberty Tax Service (specifically, Lori and Pradeep) were very helpful…read moreand saved me lots of money on taxes. At first, I was using a different service, Turbo Tax online, answering their automated questions as best as I could, but I thought that the final tax estimate seemed too high, so I came to Liberty Tax Service and they cut it down by half. Lori also kept her word about how much I would pay them, even though it ended up taking them more time and effort than expected to calculate my taxes. Effectively, they gave me a very big discount and kept me a very happy customer. Thanks, Lori and Pradeep. I hope this review brings you more customers!

I came here expecting good service which it was but I feel like J needs more professional training…read more He did what was suppose to be done but he wasn't clear on instructions nor following through with my timely-requests. For example, we filed my docs in-office and I mentioned how I wanted my copies emailed in substitute to receiving hard copy. He didn't send them. I called the next day and asked for it - didn't send them still. Says he will once he wasn't so busy. Okay, cool. A few weeks later, I receive a letter from State to verify my identity. So I call J and explain to him the letter- he explains what to do. However, I know for a fact that Tax companies sends the confirmation to the state since the Tax company filed the docs. He seemed so rude "I'm so busy" "You Do It" Wow. Ok. No problem. I then reminded him he's never sent my copies through email. And he catches another attitude then switches to trying to be nice .... Finally received my email copies. Liberty tax cool if u don't mind the rude attitude AFTER they've filed your taxes. I won't be returning.

They helped arrange a cost segregation study for my rental properties and walked me through an oil and gas investment strategy. Between the two, I saved over $150,000 in taxes over the past two years. The package also included preparing my tax return, including the rental properties and investments. There was a lot I didn't understand at first, but the team took the time to explain things and answer my questions. What I appreciated most was having help planning ahead and understanding how these decisions affected my taxes. It's a significant fee, but given my situation and the savings, I'm glad I went ahead with it.

Alex and his team have always been great about answering my questions, catching things I wouldn't have thought about, and making sure we get a good return. My husband and I recently started a small business working with partners and manufacturers in abroad, and we reached out to Alex again to help us figure out the U.S. tax and accounting side. We had a really helpful session with him where he walked through our business and payment structure, flagged a few things we needed to think about, and gave us a much clearer direction on how to set things up. We've trusted Alex with our personal taxes for years, and now we're planning to work with his team on the business side too. Definitely recommend!

I called the number and it was the IRS revenue division. They informed me that I owed over $18,000 for back taxes from 2010 and 2011. I was in such a terrible position and couldn't afford that financial burden. The IRS had taken half my check and I was told that it was going to continue for 4 years. A friend of my referred me to Mark Kelly at Certified Tax Advisors in Emeryville, CA. I made an appointment to meet with him and came into the office shortly after. He explained to me my situation in a way I could comprehend and he came up with solutions to help me. The very next day, much to my relief, my HR department had told me that my wages would no longer be garnished. I know that this is the just the first step to making this nightmare go away, but I am very happy that I found Mark Kelly at Certified Tax Advisors to help me.

I rarely write a bad review, but I am more than unhappy with the service I received from Luis. I…read morehave found that he doesn't take any responisbility for mistakes he makes, he is never on time, he is not up to date and makes uninformed statements about the tax rules or send wrong forms. And even if you send him tax information months before the filing deadline, he sometimes waits until the filing day to complete the return. All this happened to us in a 18 months working relationship. In his defense, he is a tax preparer, not a CPA, but he charges more than some CPAs for tax preparation. In detail: 1. Luis forgot to include a $30K deduction on my tax return which, had it not been detected by me, would have cost me several thousand dollars. Instead of apologizing for the oversight and offering to fix it immediately with an amended return, he asked me to come to his office to discuss it. By this time, I had already switched to a CPA. 2. My partner sent him his tax organizer in February so that his taxes could be completed well before the April rush. Instead, Luis asked him to come into his office on the afternoon of April 15 (the tax day itself) to sign the forms and pay for his services, leaving no time to review the return in detail. Luis was stressed because his software had failed on tax day, but luckily my partner was available to come into his office that afternoon, he was able to get the software working, and the tax return was filed before midnight on April 15. 3. Email replies take up to ten business days, according to his automatic response email. However, sometimes it can take weeks to get a response.
