Thank you so much Ivan for your above par expertise on completing my W2 and two 1099 tax forms. He explains the entire details on how he got the numbers and the results. He provided useful tips that could help for next year?s taxes. I requested for him to contact me if any appointments canceled and he managed to follow up the following week with another appointment for my significant other who also wants to refer her mother. Thanks again and will definitely see you next year! #AmazonHub
My go-to tax service is MacTax Solutions, a family-owned tax service that goes above and beyond traditional tax preparation. Marco, in particular, has been incredible to work with. His extensive knowledge and expertise in tax filing have been invaluable to us. Marco is not only accommodating and approachable, but he also ensures a seamless and stress-free experience every tax season. Beyond just taxes, MacTax Solutions offers a range of personal accounting services, further demonstrating their commitment t
We had a great experience with Ivan at MacTax Solutions! He was incredibly friendly, informative, and very professional throughout the entire process. This was our first time doing taxes as homeowners, and he took the time to inform us about the process and how to claim the tax benefits of homeownership. Ivan handled both my husband?s and my taxes seamlessly, making everything easy and stress-free. We truly appreciate his assistance and highly recommend him to anyone in need of tax services. Thank you, Ivan
I?ve had the pleasure of working with Marco at MAC Tax Solutions for the second year in a row, and I can?t recommend him enough! From the start, Marco has always taken the time to explain everything thoroughly and never rushes through the process. He truly cares about making sure we understand each step and is always up to date on the latest tax laws and regulations, especially as they pertain to small businesses in California. What I appreciate the most is his commitment to educating us. Marco goes beyond
I?ve been coming to Marco and the team at Mac Tax Solutions for several years now and won?t be going anywhere else. I appreciate the depth of knowledge and expertise I?ve received by going here. The prices are reasonable, especially for the expertise. I?ve gone to previous tax places and they can?t compare to the level of service I?ve received at Mac Tax Solutions. Give them a call, you won?t regret it!
I have been doing my taxes with Mr Marco for many years. He is very professional and always available throughout the year if you need anything. He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience, very transparent. Visit his webpage you will learn about all his services. Very satisfy, no complaints I fully recommend him and his staff.
This is my second year filing my taxes here with Victoria and she has done an amazing job filing my taxes. She takes her time to explain every detail, very knowledgeable, and professional. The staff is friendly and welcomes you when you first arrive. I would recommend MacTax Solutions to others.
This is my third year filing with Mactax solutions. Marco specifically has been the one helping me out since i started with them and once again he has done great work for me and my wife. I have recommended him to my friends and family and they too have told me he does great work.
Marco is excellent at what he does! He made the whole tax process quick, easy, and stress-free. Super professional, knowledgeable, and reliable ? highly recommend working with him.
These guys are awesome at what they do. 3 years I?ve continued to come back because of the way Marco and Ivan handle their customers. You?re in good hands when you file your taxes here.
Simply the best! I will always recommend MacTax Solutions to all my friends and family looking to do their taxes. We have been filing our taxes with Ivan for the better part of 3 years. Ivan takes the time to thoughly explain everything to you, answers any questions and eases any concerns. Even as we have moved away we are able to still file with them thanks to their Remote Tax Services!! You will have the best experience as well with this team.
I went to MacTax Solutions on April 2, 2025, based on their great reviews, but my experience was anything but great. I met with Marco, the CEO, and right away the interaction felt off ? no warmth, no welcome, just cold and awkward. Despite that, I trusted him with my taxes and paid $120 (which was a financial stretch for me at the time) in hopes of getting my refund quickly to cover upcoming bills. Marco made an error right in front of me by entering the wrong address, even though my W2 had the correct one
Best place to file your taxes hands down ! Wish I would've gone to them sooner...huge shout out to Victoria and the team for their help . Very knowledgeable staff ! Fast and friendly. Will definitely be returning for future taxes as well as bringing my friends and family with me. Thank you guys once again !
Highly recommend this tax service! Marco and the team are knowledgeable, fast, and friendly. Glad I was referred to them. I'll be returning for future taxes and bringing friends and family. Thank you!
A loyal client for a whole decade, I never once had an issue with MacTax. As detailed as they are, they provide you with any information needed for tax season. Thank you, MacTax
Ivan took the time to educate us over estimated taxes. With his tax tips, he saved us over $3,000 in taxes. He is like a teacher because he explains things really well.
i can only speak to my experience contacting them trying to initiate an individual tax return preparation. I called them and was pleasantly surprised by how fast they picked up and the manner of the person on the phone. he listened to me patiently and seemed very kind. when i mentioned something about partnership income, there seemed to be some confusion so he acknowledged that and said he would have someone who has better knowledge follow up with me that day or the day before. on the 2nd day, i still hav
I?ve been going to MacTax for 3 years never had an issue and they always make you feel welcomed very recommended to go and get your taxes done with the MacTax family!
I filed here due to the great reviews. I ended up getting a paper in the mail telling me my taxes weren?t filed correctly and I owed $400. Going somehwere else this year.
Employees were super helpful! Amadeus helped me with my taxes and was very informational and answered all my questions! I would definitely come back
It was a great experience working with Edward and the mactax solutions team. The whole staff was amazing. Definitely recommended this firm
Ivan is the BEST! I recommend him to anyone that wants to save and learn more. Ivan not only helped me save, but helped me understand more about how my taxes worked. Ivan was patient when I could not find any of my documents and didn?t make me feel rushed at all. He was awesome and I hope I can work with him every year. Thank you for the flexibility and working late after I got off late! Ivan you are a total lifesaver!!
Definitely recommend this place. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Marco took his time, educating me throughout the process.
If I could give this place more stars, I would! My husband and I did our taxes here for our small business and Marco and Ivan, even the front desk was beyond helpful and kind. Marco went the extra mile but spending additional time with us to make sure we had the knowledge and understanding about all things taxes. The knowledge this team has from years of experience is priceless. In addition, their prices are extremely reasonable. I?m excited to also hear that they offer payroll services. We will definitely
I'm baffled with how many 5 star reviews this business has with the lack of courtesy and professionalism experienced today (first time customer). Had an appointment with Marco at 10 a.m. and I even arrived early since I'm punctual and considerate of other people's time. I received a call from Marco about 10 minutes AFTER the scheduled time of 10 a.m. stating he wasn't feeling well and needed to cancel the appointment. I understand things happen but the lack of consideration to cancel at least an hour ahead
Marco was very helpful and open to answering any questions about the process. Definitely recommend and will be coming back.
It was super easy to schedule an appointment. Marco was prompt and made the process of tax preparation an easy one. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Marco made sure that I understand everything at every step of the way. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend their services.
Been coming to Marco for years and he is very knowledgable and professional. A+.
I came herer for some old Tax year. I was helped with patience. The team is well educated and established in the field. This year I completed all my tax work. They are honest, hard working and kind. I will continue to come here.
Evelyn was very informative, professional and she was helpful on advice for future tax filing.
Just had my taxes done this past Saturday night, ever the procrastinator! I was surprised at the late night availability as my appointment was at 800PM, they're really hard workers! Heddy was such a nice lady, we had a very nice conversation while she was working. This was the first time I was claiming school credits and she was so patient and diligent in her work, she even helped me find my 1098T form on my school website! Definitely coming back next year, thank you so much! This is a copy-paste from my Y
What a great experience working with Marco. He is thorough and very patient. He explained stuff that I never knew from decades of running a business. Everytime I leave his office, it felt like I just attended a seminar in accounting! I?m relieved and stress free now and hope in the future as well.
I just wanted to thank Evelyn for her patience and professionalism with my tax return this year. Their office was very busy but I never felt rushed. I had prepared myself mentally and financially to owe additional taxes but I actually got a refund! Glad I didn?t use TurboTax this year.
If you?re looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and thorough at explaining tax laws and every possible option you have to make an informed decision, I would highly recommend Marco. I was so pleased with the service I received from him because he went above and beyond to help me that I will be recommending his services to my colleagues and family.
I was recommended by a friend 3 years ago. My husband and I have been doing our taxes with Marco ever since. He is the best and very knowledgeable with the current laws. He explains everything to you and is very sincere. He is easy to talk to and you?ll feel comfortable with him. Definitely recommend for anyone to use his services.
Marco is a very patient and honest, I've been doing my taxes with him for the last 3 years and he's always been really upfront with me. He always takes his time to provide me with quality service and detailed answers. I've recommended him to several of my family and friends and heard back nothing but good things. Thanks Marco for being a quality tax guy we can depend on.
Great service! We keep coming back every year! Highly recommend!
Absolutely Awesome Service! A+++ 100% recommended!! Great customer service ??
The team at MacTax is wonderful! This is our third year using them and it has made tax season a breeze! They explain everything well and I leave feeling well educated on taxes and totally stress free (which is hard to do because taxes used to give me hives ??). We are in and out within an hour and it is so simple! I always recommend them to my friends. They also have other services which I?m so excited to utilize them for as well! Thanks for being such a top-notch business who really cares about your client
Been doing my taxes with him for about 5 years now and he?s always helpful and polite! Never had a bad experience doing business with Marco and will be coming back year after year! Recommend him to my wife and her family and they all say the same thing! Great work Marco keep it up!
Marco is awesome. I?ve been coming to him for a couple of years now and it?s the best decision I?ve made. He was recommended by a family member and now we all basically come to him. He does a great job explaining and helping you with your taxes.
Made a appointment for the following day with a tax issue and Ivan was very knowledgeable, every question I had regarding my past taxes to current he had a anwser for. I found my tax guy for the next century and I would recommend their Father & Son business to anyone that needs to file taxes or just have questions regarding taxes I would give them more stars if I can but from the ratings you see why people go here they the best in town!!!
I had a great experience with Mac Tax Solutions. I live in Texas but that wasn?t a problem for Marco. He filed my taxes virtually, kept me up to speed every step of the way, and got the job done in a timely manner. I?m really fond of their system; it makes the process for their clients very easy. I?m definitely referring Mac Tax Solutions to family and friends. Keep up the great work. ????
Had a great experience preparing and submitting my 1040 for the 2022 tax year. Staff were very knowledgeable and were able to answer all of my questions. Before visiting them, I wasn't aware of how taxes really worked, but everyone at Mac Tax got me up to speed while I was there. Definitely recommend them if you are looking for a new tax preparer.
I had a great experience with MacTax Solutions! Quality service at reasonable prices. Marco is very helpful and knowledgeable. He taught me a lot and made me feel more confident about my finances for tax purposes. Knowledge is power!
Excellent tax and customer service! Marco treats his clients in a kind and efficient manner. I have worked with Marco your the last few years for my tax needs and he has always does a wonderful job. I would highly recommend MacTax Solutions to everyone for any of your tax needs.
My girlfriend and I have been coming to Mac Tax Solutions for over 3 years now. Marco is the best he takes his time explained everything makes you feel at home. Extremely friendly and will help you the best he can. He always gives you options and opinions on what I can do to help me financially. You will always get the biggest refund he will make sure of that no questions asked. I always recommend my friends and family to him.
Been coming to Marcos for over 5 years now and always trust him. He not only does my taxes effectively but always offers suggestions for the next year in order to maximize my return. Even though there are so many ?free? programs that I can try to do my own taxes, I?d still come to Marcos. His professionalism is always appreciated. Definitely recommend

I've gone to see Marcos for two years now and he is unmatched in his professionalism and tax knowledge. He is trustworthy, sincere, and has your best interest in mind. He always takes extra time to calculate additional deductions and takes time to help you understand the many tax laws that change yearly. Make an appointment with Marcos and you won't regret it! The best!!!
Marco is always honest and straightforward with all my tax related questions. You need taxes done the right way? Don?t waste your time with others. Marco is professional and honest at what he does.

I Highly recommend Marco as a tax preparer. Itll be our 3rd year with him and he's been preparing taxes for my family before me. He always knows how to answer and break down any questions my husband and I have ever had. He's flexible, reasonable in pricing, and will work with long distances! Thanks Marco!
I live in AZ, but worth the drive. Marco's been doing my taxes for over 10 years. He truly knows his business. Honest and knowledgeable of all tax laws. I highly recommend his services.
Was recommended to me. After jumping from tax person to tax person this is by far the best one. Marcos provides great customer serviceand is very knowledgeable. Able to get many best refund yet. Marcos asks you a lot of questions and also provides you with options. I would recommend him to anyone who feels they are not getting the best return.

I almost did my taxes myself on turbot tax, but thank God my wifi was acting like it doesn't know what the internet is, so I went on Yelp and discovered Mac Tax Solutions with it's gleaming reviews, so I called and made an appointment, and I'm happy I did. This tax return service experience of my tax returning life! Marco is the man and is super knowledgeable and is reasonably priced. To emphasize his price, you are spending an HOUR WITH A TAX PROFESSIONAL/GENIUS which would cost a really pretty penny, but
My tax preparer has retired and I?m so glad one of my colleagues recommended Marco to me. His prices are very affordable, but his knowledge is more extensive than unlicensed tax preparer can provide. I feel I?m in a good hand for this upcoming tax season and going forward.
Marco is great. I've been to a few different people in the past. Marco is the best by far. Been going with him for a few years now. And will continue to go with him. He provides great service. Highly recommend him.

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.
