While, I was there, she was able to complete the necessary forms and have everything ready to go! By the time I got home, she had sent me an email telling me that my taxes had been filed!

A friend recommended them for taxes because they charge a more reasonable amount to do your taxes…read morethan I was paying somewhere else. You upload your documents to a "secure site" (which is a joke I think? My browser gave me a warning about it not being secure and someone could be trying to steal my information - LOLZ!). Then you dont hear back from them for over a month. April 15th passes, no word. Luckily the tax deadline was extended this year (2021). When you call, you are told "its being reviewed and they will reach out to you, probably today." No one does. The next week you call again and they say the same thing. Then someone does reach out to you, huzzah! But it's not the person who did your taxes to go over them with you. That would be helpful. Instead you hear from the receptionist telling you your taxes are done and what you owe them and the government. Okay. Great. You look at your taxes and shit you owe A LOT. You're not used to owing SO MUCH. If you happen to have a question about something, they treat you like you're an annoying idiot and say "I've only been doing taxes for 34 years, I think I know the law..." Mmkkk. Yes, thats the reason you, and not me, are doing my taxes. And I'm ignorant, so I have questions. Jesus, I'm not attacking your intelligence. On the contrary, I'm seeking information to understand. If there is a mistake with the paperwork (payment math isnt adding up to the total balance, the first payment shows its already past due), when you ask about it, they tell you Tracy is busy and won't be able to look at whether the information is correct, for a month. A month, seriously. Your tax paperwork has errors and they can't even look at it to check their own work within a reasonable time frame. You need this information to be accurate because you need to take action on the information (the first payment is due in a couple weeks). Or is it already past due? Its too bad you're unimportant enough to get prompt service. I dont understand why someone else other than Tracy can look it over. She didnt even do them in the first place. Someone else there did. Not great service.

We also sold some equities and had some other transactions complicating our taxes. Andrés made it all look so easy, the sign of someone that knows what he is doing. He made sense of the various tax complications and really helped us save some money. I just didn't trust that I knew all the rules and complications of tax law. I was really stressing out about out taxes this year, but he made it all seem so easy. Their value is in piece of mind, and that goes a long way for me.

They managed to get our taxes flagged by both the CA Franchise Tax Board and the IRS - and we are both W-2 employees! If you love paying extra fees, having your phone calls go un-returned, then getting charged extra for their work to undo the mess they caused - then Merrell, Irwin, & Associate is your CPA firm! But seriously, like others we were unceremoniously dropped after they screwed up our incredibly simple tax returns. Jenni in particular is one of the most low-integrity people that I have ever have ever had the misfortune to cross paths with. Value yourself, your time, and your money - stay far away from these clowns.

We just sold our home in the bay area this year and moved to Redding. In the past we have always filed our own taxes but now we have a few investments and a few other more complicated forms to file, so we needed a good tax CPA to file this years taxes. A friend of ours referred us to Kevin. His pricing is fair and best of all he doesn't nickel and dime you with phone call charges. We look forward to having him as our CPA every year.

It's tough to find accountants with whom you can also connect with on a personal level and who are friendly and fun to converse with- and here you get all those things in one. He also helps direct us to other services in the community that he's had experience with, and at times offers advice in other areas of our life not related to taxes which is thoughtful. Very professional and a good balance here with being the client's advocate yet following rules and ensuring accuracy in the filing process. It takes a huge load off of us. We feel super confident using their services.
