*Tip: Organize your documents in advance to save time and ensure accuracy.*

Crystal is the absolute best! She helps me get the most of my returns every year, thank you E-Tax Services!
We have been using Crystal at etax for 10 years! She is the best! Super knowledgeable and highly recommend!!
I'm a return customer of Crystal. I can sincerely say that she is knowledgeable and answers any questions or concerns. I highly recommend etax services.
Crystal is amazing. I was very skeptical and thought I could do my taxes for free on my own. Her knowledge and expertise saved us upwards of $7,500 (when I thought we'd owe that much!). We recently had a penalty from the IRS (she warned us it would happen) and she took it upon herself to call them and get it waived. TRUST THE PROFESSIONALS and rest easy.
Easy to get copy I f previous tax years. Excellent customer service . Highly recommended.
Crystal is very professional and courteous. Last year she reviewed my state tax return from previous year and made a finding that State had made a mistake. She advised me what I need to do to get my State income tax refund. The tax return processing fee is also reasonable. I highly recommend Crystal.
Always been satisfied with the service here! This is our go-to tax preparer for the last 7-8 years already. Miss Crystal is totally great - helpful, knowledgeable, very professional and ever-smiling - in dealing with us every time we come here for our annual tax filing! Highly recommended!
Been coming here for the past few years and Crystal is amazing! She?s helped me my girlfriend and my dad and we love her! She?s efficient and straight forward with us in which we appreciate. Her and the rest of the team do an amazing job and I highly recommend to come here for your taxes!
eTax is the BEST! If I could I'd give them 5 stars. Been doing my taxes here for several years and I can't say enough good things about them. Crystal and the rest of the staff are courteous, professional, and always helpful with any questions I may have. I highly recommend this place. Thank you eTax!
We have been getting our taxes done with Crystal at eTAX in Orange. Crystal is very professional, knowledgeable, and also vey responsive and easy to communicate with her. I am very happy with the service she provides. 5 stars.
We have been using E-tax for 8 years!!! Great service!!! We moved and found they had an Orange location closer to us. Our consultant Crystal there is the best! She's very accommodating and never hesitates to answer any questions or concerns we may have. Never had any issues, and we plan to continue using them for our taxes! 2024 Update- another successful year filing taxes with eTax and Crystal. FYI- this is a real review. You can check Yelp for many others!
I have been doing my taxes here since 2016 and it has been a pleasure to work with Crystal. I needed help working through some serious problems caused by my previous tax guy and I was very pleased with the help I received. I have since moved to the other side of the country. Fortunately, eTax has made it possible for me to continue to use their great services. I have found Crystal and eTax to be very honest, knowledgeable, and friendly which makes the tax process as pain-free as possible. Their fees are v
We have been repeat customers for a number of years already and still are highly-satisfied with the service Crystal provides ever single time we show up to her door. Super thankful for the help and professionalism she always displays to us!
Crystal is amazing She has been helping us with our taxes for 13 years . She has always been very helpful. She deserves 10 brownie points. I highly recommend her.
I returned to etax to see crystal. She always does a great job! I recommend her for taxes!
I?ve been using eTax Services for 3 years now and Crystal has been so helpful every time! All their tax advisors help you through all the steps to successfully file your taxes
This was our first year using eTax Services. We were a bit nervous because we had been using the same tax guy for over 20 years. The office is clean and COVID compliant and the staff are so friendly and professional. Crystal is extremely knowledgeable and would check all avenues to make sure we would get the best end result. She was training a new staff member, who was also very nice, helping other clients, answering phone, etc and still maintained her focus to detail and accuracy. I highly recommend eTax
eTax services stands as a shining example of professionalism and expertise when it comes to filing your taxes. I was helped by a member of their team named Numair, who went the extra mile in making sure I got the absolute most out of my tax return. Not only was the entire process quick and simple, but the pricing was also great for the level of care that they put into their services. I would highly recommend their locations to anyone looking only for the best!
Don?t ever sight this place. Bunch of jokes. Will just rip u off. Pay attention to the good reviews. Most of them a fake. (They only have reviewed ONE place(this place)). Biggest scam in OC!
Crystal was extremely helpful and easy to work with.
We have been coming to file our tax for years. Every time Crystal always makes it fast and easy for us, we always have good experience with her. She is knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks
CRYSTAL is fast and ready to go! Come and get your taxes done! She?s great.
I was referred to Crystal a couple years ago by a family member. Crystal is professional, friendly and always willing to take the time to help explain the new tax laws. Very happy client!
I came here Crystal is very nice , accomodates everything I need. Fast service very efficient. I highly recommend her. Come see for yourself. Thanks Crystal.
Very excellent tax service never had a problem. I have been coming here for a lots of years M's Crystal is awesome she will do her best to assist you. Thank you.
Crystal is very knowledgeable and informative on the ITIN process and she was very supportive and helpful throughout the process of getting us an ITIN and filing our returns. She answered all our queries promptly. I would highly recommend her services to whoever needs it.
Been going to eTax for 4 years and every time it has been positive. Crystal has always helped us and always explains and answers all our questions. Great place to come to do your taxes. Highly recommend.
I discovered eTax Services a few years ago and I have to say I've been very pleased with their work. I'm a small business owner, and so my returns can be a bit complicated. Despite this, they've always been very friendly and fast. Even though I moved away from Southern California, I'm hoping to go back again for this year's taxes. I definitely recommend them!
I've been going there for 4-5 years. The tax preparer was friendly, helpful and honest. Fees are incredibly reasonable. I got my tax done in no time. They also answered my tax-related questions to help me better prepared for next year's tax paper. Although I moved away, I still contact them for help. Highly recommended!
I have been coming to Etax for a few years now. Crystal always welcomes you by name and with a smile. My experience has been fast, easy and never have to worry it will be done correctly. Definitely recommend.
eTax services is the best place to file your taxes. Crystal makes things very easy and smooth with her professionalism and explanations. Thank you Crystal.
I have been using eTax for the past 5-6 years and looking forward to using it for years to come! The service is just awesome! They have everything setup electronically and you will never have to step into the office if you don't want to, which works out great for me because I am always traveling for my job. All I have to do is email them all the documents. Then they process all the tax papers in short time and email back to me for e-signatures! Then 10 days later my refund shows up in my checking account! A
Client for 9 years, since becoming a home owner in 2005. Orange eTax Services has honest and knowledgeable staff who understand the most current tax laws and will not jeopardize filing your taxes. They provide free estimates and reasonable prices, typically less than H&R Block. Very convenient and fast but thorough. I recommend them with high regards.
I come here year after year. Crystal is awesome and always does her best to help me and is good at answering all my questions. Highly recommend coming here for your tax services
I have been using eTax in Orange to file my taxes for years. I love them because they are quick and courteous. They know what questions to ask to maximize my return and it is such a painless process. Not to mention being very professional. I don't know about you but I hate doing taxes myself and I find them to be totally worth it. I highly recommend them!
With eTax I get my returns in the shortest amount of time, their prompt service helped me and my family in a timely fashion. Customer service is unbeatable bar none. I would give them 5 stars. I have been going there for 7 years never had any issues.
Literally one of the BEST. I have been doing my taxes here for five years. After gathering all of the proper documents, it literally takes eTax 10 minutes to complete my tax return. I can walk in and 10 days later, my tax return is in my bank account. It is so seemless that I always wonder how they can manage. Keep up the good work eTax!
Doing taxes is a lot of work for one person. This is why I came to eTax. I worked with Numair and he was great! 10/10 efficiency and I know I?m getting the best for what I paid for.
Etax is a rip off. Crystal charged me the max. Had me drive back 18 miles to bring her a medical form. Now asking me to drive back again to give her a pin. I'm working harder than crystal and paying for it. Asked about amending my 2020 year. She quoted me $300. I will never use this etax business again. I wish I could get my money back and go somewhere else
eTax Services Orange is my go to place for any and all tax related services. I've been coming here for years and every time I get exactly what I expect: Fast, Friendly customer service and Expert tax advice. Shamefully, I made a mistake of going to one of the other big name tax firms and paid big time...Never Again!!! At eTax you pay half the rate and they will do everything they can to get you the max return possible! Free quotes ain't bad either! I will always come to eTax and you should too :)
I think Etax is great . I have been going to them for many years . The people that work there are very friendly and nice . Crystal helped me with my taxes and Numair helped me as well .
Numair helped me do my taxes from ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!! He even got me the maximum possible return i could?ve gotten. 10/10 customer service as well. I will be coming back forever
Etax is the best place to get your taxes done quick. They always provide great service in a timely fashion. Much happier with their service in comparison to their big chain competitors. Will be coming back next year!
This is my second time coming here (not sure why I didnt write a review last year). Came in to get my taxes done for this year. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Was in and out in less than 20 mins. Will definitely be coming back next year and will recommend my entire family to come to Etax.
3rd year with E-Tax. Crystal did an amazing job. Done in less than 45 minutes. Recommend 100%!????
I've been coming here for 17yrs... they are quick and efficient. Ask for Crystal she is AMAZING!!!
I have been using them for tax refunds. I made the switch from H & R block. eTax was able to give me more money back and get it in my pocket faster. Great people to work with.
Been a loyal customer for many years at the Anaheim location, tried out the Orange closer to work and crystal was very helpful and amazing with the whole process. Thanks again!
Crystal is so nice and friendly. I?ve been coming here for 6 years. She is fast and professional!! I recommend this place 100%!!!

eTax is a wonderful fast and friendly service. I am a repeated client and refer everyone to come here that doesn't want to over pay for great tax advise. Plus they have a referral program that really pays off :)
Great Services and Friendly Staff I've been going here for years. I get my taxes done *fast* and I have the ease of mind that they're done properly and I'm getting more back on my returns than some of the popular others (e.g. Liberty, H&R, etc..). I won't be going anywhere else. Period.
I am very satisfied with the service offered here at the Etax Orange location. CRYSTAL has given me the understanding on learning how to benefit on my returns. I APPECIATE HER PROFESSIONALISM. SOLEDAD MEDOZA

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
