Navigating taxes can be very scary and Robert was so knowledgeable I actually enjoyed talking about taxes for once!

It is true they are affordable tax services. And they maximized my return!!!!

Two years ago I had the unfortunate mishap of finding out that my former tax preparer wasn't an…read morehonest person. Sad, but true. Due to these unfortunate turn of events, a friend had recommended me to Bonita Valley Tax Service. I was bit hesitant at first with trying to find a new tax person and relying upon their trust. Even worse, the thought of even going to your common tax service that advertises on television who usually uses college students and part timers who are briefly trained in the constant changing tax laws and basically have no experience like myself just scared me! Lord knows that I wouldn't do my own taxes and trust myself to use a Turbo Tax Service! Once I had made my first appointment two years ago and met with my new tax preparer Donita, the experience has been flawless! Donita is a gem! Very experienced in her field and greater understanding of the ever changing tax laws. She's a very honest person and very accommodating when it comes to your questions regarding your taxes and your best interests. She even offered to review many years of past prepared taxes from my former preparer to understand my past audit. That enough was appreciated!! Bonita Tax used to be in the red barn looking building on the corner of Bonita Road and Sweetwater Road, but had recently moved about a year ago to the professional building right behind the AM/PM on Otay Lakes Road and Bonita Road! I sorta miss the barn building! =) If you're looking for an honest preparer in the South Bay, can't say enough about Bonita Tax and Donita and her staff! R.T.

If I could give zero stars, I would. They don't keep appointments and claim they can't get a hold…read moreof you when they don't call. I received an email the prior day reminding me that I would receive a call that never came. I tried calling 10 mins after the scheduled call the following day since they hadn't called, and of course, I got their VM. Days later they emailed and quickly turn it around and blamed me claiming I am "so hard to get a hold of." They request to upload my tax documents which I already had a month prior yet they claimed that I hadn't which causes a delay in processing my taxes and is just an excuse so they can once again shift the blame on me saying I didn't do my part with providing the docs. The date when those docs were uploaded is time stamped so not sure how they can claim that the docs weren't there. These are all items I can overlook but what I won't overlook is when I received a confrontational call from Jose demanding to know what was going on. He would not let me speak and spoke over me the entire conversation. I have never experienced such unprofessionalism and combative behavior from someone you're paying for a service. He was arrogant and rude. I didn't expect an apology regarding his dismissive and disrespectful behavior regarding the service I paid for but I certainly did not expect to receive such an abusive and confrontational phone call. He absolutely made it worse by calling. Absolute horrible service and lack of self control. He would not stop raising his voice and talking over me so I hung up on him. Clearly he is used to talking this way to people. He claimed that he couldn't electronically file my taxes because my identify was compromised and someone else had already filed in my name which makes zero sense and waiting until the day prior to taxes being due to let me know that I had to print, sign, and overnight my taxes to the IRS yet charged me as if he had filed electronically. The most unethical service I have ever experienced. Do not use this person. You'll regret you did.

I have a sole proprietorship in addition to my personal taxes but it was still a very simple process (added Derek to my quickbooks self-employed). The tax preparation was more expensive than I've paid in the past ($600) but still reasonable in my opinion and definitely worth it to do as little of the "figuring out" as possible. I will use Tax Nerds again in the future and highly recommend.
