Have been coming here for years. The employees are always friendly. Always quick to answer any concerns. Always willing to assist you from start to ending. Really recommend them.
Patty has been doing my taxes for years, and honestly I always go back to her. Truly best service I get every time I go. Super nice and professional ??????????
Turcios Income Tax have been amazing for over 10 years helping me file my taxes. The staff and team have treated well and made me feel like family! Ray is the best in town!
They have officially lost a customer of over 9 years. They don?t seem to have employees that know how to accurately provide information to customers about how to proceed with adding family members as dependents. Furthermore, they made a huge mistake in filing my brothers taxes last year and it wasn?t until we hadn?t received our refunds for weeks that we called and were told they hadn?t processed the documents to their mistakes. I still came and tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt but having t
I have been doing my taxes here for the past 5 years and would never change going there. They are direct and don't mess you over and try and help you to make sure you don't mess up on your taxes and give great advise. I strongly suggest you come here they are the best.
I've been doing my taxes here for the past 4 or 5 years and I put up with the condescending attitude because they have always done my taxes at a lower rate than H&R block. This year was no exception. The fact that they don't seem to want to take appointments during a pandemic seems ludacris to me but I digress. If you want to pay for an adequate tax return and subpar preparers then by all means come here.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Been coming here for years and would recommend them to everyone.
I Have done My Taxes here for Years, And I needed my Last Taxes via PDF for a Consulate issue. And dome guy called "Daniel" Was Rude and Didnt Help at All! ???????????? Dont Think im Going Back or Refering Anyone
I was advised to have my taxes done here because "they have a fair rate($35)" I had my 2014 & 2015 done by a mid aged gentalmen and when it came time to pay he charged me $130 for both years. My mother had her taxes done the day before and was charged $35. We both asked for our checks to be mailed to the same address. Then a week later he called me to tell me that because of something he didn't pay attention to I wasn't going to receive $300+ of what he originally had estamiated I was going to get mailed. I
I?m a student and I went here to do my taxes. The person helping me mentioned a form but did not know the name or how I could get it. Because of this I ended up getting less money on my return and had to fix it the following year.
This place is funny. I went to get my taxes done and they said I owed 1k and over in taxes. I was like wut? I did them on turbo tax and it came out to be that I only owed $101 dollars. They're cheap but not precise

(Translated by Google) Everyone can do everything; but not everyone can provide information about everything for the client's benefit. Excellent treatment, information, and service this day when I did my taxes and was served by Ms. Andrea; she knows her job well. Very happy and grateful.

(Translated by Google) I wanted to do the taxes with Ramon. He didn't help me. They asked me for all my papers and information. Among all the people I listened to, it's scary to give your insurance and age dates without privacy. They ask you if you have good insurance or how you're going to do it. People complaining that the tow trucks take their cars because there's no parking. The workers say one version of the requirements. They charge cheap but it can be expensive, you have to be careful, I went to comp
(Translated by Google) They are the worst. First of all I don't speak Spanish and I know my husband does. I am not Mexican I am Turkish and Egyptian. My husband is Mexican. The lady Spanish spoke the whole time even though she can speak English. I feel if you work in customer service, you need to speak English at least in America (no offense to anyone) Second, they are not well informed on how to file taxes. I wanted to file married but separate and she told me I can't because my husband and I live together
(Translated by Google) Excellent services, they have been doing our taxes for more than 30 years. First Don Ramos then Ramon Jr. and now the grandson, my children, started doing the taxes with them too. (Original) Exelente servicios nos an hecho los taxes desde hace mas de 30 a?os.

(Translated by Google) If I had known they were irresponsible, I wouldn't have done it there, but I paid for good service and thought they knew what they were doing. I hope the people who did it don't get the surprise in the next few years that their forms were filled out incorrectly!

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.
