Michelle quite literally changed my wife and I's lives. My wife is very intelligent with a business/accounting background and for the last few years has taken on the task of handling our taxes while I was in graduate school, which has been relatively straightforward because I was not working full-time. Within the 2025 fiscal year, we purchased our first home, I worked multiple full-time roles, and she was given stock in her company, so things were far more complicated. However, my wife still gave it a shot going through the tax preparation process. By the end of it, we were going to owe $11,000. We were absolutely devastated, and immediately started thinking about how on earth we were going to be able to afford our mortgage on top of such an insane tax burden. We decided to reach out to Americas Tax Service after seeing their wonderful reviews in hopes that we could somehow lessen our burden, even if by a couple thousand. We booked an appointment with Michelle, worriedly walked in with our paperwork, and after no more than 45 minutes she informed us we would not only owe $0, but we would in fact be receiving a refund of over $2,000. I cannot express the joy and relief this news brought to my wife and I. Michelle is very efficient, laid back, and overall just an incredibly knowledgeable, warm professional. I could not fathom going anywhere else for tax services. Seriously, book your appointment. It could mean the difference between owing $10k+ and getting a check for a few grand in the mail. read more

Michelle saved us for this year's filings. I'm a very tech savvy person who has always done their own taxes. This year I even validated my own inputs with AI and was staring at a 5 figure tax bill. We went to Michelle hoping to get the honest truth and walked away with news that we'd actually get a refund! Her support and pointed questions are nothing a e-filing or AI service can provide. She's got a customer for life and I'm so thankful for her expertise and humor along the way. read more

Very professional, very attentive to the details of my tax deductions I had no idea what to do, embarrassed that I had 10 years back taxes,but we figured it all out i finally can sleep better, thank you Michelle! So much! I wouldn't go anywhere else. Paul read more

I have been using Michelle for over ten years and she's the hands down best tax person I've ever had. She's on point with everything she does now my daughter uses her as well. I highly recommend her to anyone. I stand by her and her business would never go anywhere else. read more

After many years with our previous accounting firm it was time to make a change Michelle & America's Tax Service was highly recommended. We had an appointment Thursday ( 3 returns) I could not be more pleased ! She was friendly , professional & we were more than pleased with the results especially after the impact of crazy Covid year on all of our tax situations . Thank you Michelle!! read more

First I got overcharged for my taxes. Then it was a pain to get the money back. I also filed for multiple years and I thought i would call the IRS and check on my tax return and they said there was no record of them even being filed. I then called Michelle multiple times finally she responded saying she would check on it and she never did and never got back to me. Ill keep everyone posted how this turns out. read more

Amazing and HUMANE service. My mom and I have been with Americas Tax Service for about 3 years now.

Boo liar I would not waste time giving a review just to misinform people, people deserve honest reviews and great customer service thanks

I have been going to America's Tax Service for at least three-four years now. It is rare that I am walking out without knowing what I will owe or get, within an hour. If you don't have a company or person helping you out on your taxes, go see Michelle! read more

I've been coming here for years! And even though I moved to far I still come here every year to get my taxes done with Jackie and Michelle. GREAT SERVICE, GREAT STAFF! read more

Going to Michelle next time refund was wrong that's all I have to say. Person was not very knowledgeable. read more

Michelle really is the best!! I sold property last year and tried to do my own taxes and became overwhelmed. I saw all these 5 star reviews and called hoping they could take me 1 week before the filing deadline. Michelle saw me the next day and 2 other times and got my taxes done right on time! She's very knowledgeable and did a great job. Her staff is very friendly and knowledgeable as well. So glad I found this place thanks to Yelp. read more

So for the last 2 decades I've always done my own taxes, using online "do it yourself" tax websites. Last year me and my wife bought our first home. So to make a long story short, I once again went to do my own taxes, thinking I was going to get a huge refund. When I was done running the numbers, I was very disappointed with the end result. I then contacted Michelle at American Tax Service. She was able to see me as a walk in, ran the numbers and got me 4 times the refund by helping me find all my deductions. She was also able to work her magic in about 1/2 hour. AMERICAS TAX SERVICE is awesome!!!! -- at Americas Tax Service. read more

Michelle Daniels is the best! My husband and I were thrilled with our tax returns Michelle prepared for us. We still owed this year but much less than what Turbo Tax said we owed. Run, don't walk, to see Michelle at America's Tax Service. We will be coming back to see Michelle next year! Thank you, Michelle! read more

I love Michelle and her staff! They make you feel so welcome and they have the best personalities. Michelle is sharp and knows her stuff! I wouldn't go anywhere else in the Bay Area to get my taxes done. Very reasonable prices too. So reasonable that you can afford to go out for a nice lunch or dinner in downtown Martinez after you get your taxes done :) Thanks for everything, Americas Tax Service! read more

First time bringing my taxes to this place and feeling real good. Highly recommend this place to bring your taxes. Great people to work with and real fast to get them done. My whole family goes here to have them done. Thanks Michelle for a great year. You have done well! See you next year! read more

I went as a recommendation from a close friend. They found things that other tax people missed and saved me a good amount of money! I highly recommend them for all your needs! Love these people! read more

Michelle is knowledgeable and friendly. She is always looking out for the best interests of her clients.

Favorite tax place ever! Feels like family and all members (even kiddos) are welcome in their office and have a special area to play too. Made an appointment and had zero wait, she actually took me early. She did a great job on the numbers and her prices are very affordable. read more

Thx is THE BEST tax service company I have ever been to. Fully knowledgeable, fast, efficient, locally owned and operated.

This is the place!! Wonderful and knowledgeable owner and staff.. They also have a sense of humor..

They did amazing will be coming back next year. Our tax lady was very friendly and kind even gave my son a pillow pet.

I had such a great experience with this business! Jackie (and Michelle) had amazing skill and care with my information and situation. They took good care of me and I'm so happy right now! Definitely recommend them and will go back. I was referred to this business by a friend too, so they're definitely good at taking care of their customers! THANKS! read more

Great business! Michelle did my taxes in less than 30 min. Very easy and friendly. Easy to get appointments, even in early April. She even gave me a huge discount on her services. read more

We've had Jackie at Americas Tax Service prepare our taxes for about 4 years now. I cannot be happier with the level of personalized service we benefit from ATS. I have recently started a new business and have had Michele help me with corporate tax issues and the related procedures which can be a little overwhelming. Michelle took the time on short notice to help me establish my business records and and answer as many questions I could throw at her. My family and now my business are in good hands at Americas Tax Service. read more

This was the first time I tried America's Tax Service, and Michelle helped me. She is fabulous!! She had a wonderful personality, and she really knows what she's doing. Although I'm not happy with my refund amount, that's not her fault. I just didn't have a good 2017. I usually do my own taxes online, but I think I'll continue going here until I can go back to doing my taxes myself. I DEFINITELY recommend coming here. read more

Michelle continues to be one of the most entertaining and hard working professionals out there. She is always a pleasure to work with. She makes it easy every time, every year. Love her. read more

This place is great, Michelle was wonderful. Unfortunately my husband and I still owed federal and state, but she worked with us diligently to help us not owe as much. The rest of the staff is wonderful, they were super helpful when we needed to give Michelle extra paperwork. Our taxes are super organized so we can refer back to them at any time. America's Tax Service makes "taking care of business" a snap!! read more

After reveling in the honeymoon stage of being newly married the reality set in when tax season came about. My husband hasn't filed in 3 years. I was terrified to find out how much he would owe but knew it had to be done. I didn't want to go to H & R block, the impersonal service and get in and get out atmosphere didn't appeal to me. After reading reviews for America's Tax Service I was hopeful that they would take the time to help my husband and I. To say I was amazed by these ladies is an understatement. I think they sensed my fear as we walked in. They offered coffee, tea, water and even had a child's area for my step son to play in. We had bags of receipts and piles of paystubs not knowing what all was needed for so many years of not paying. Michelle patiently took the time to sort through our chaos. She explained every single step that was taken and did all of this with the biggest smile and the most awesome attitude. 2 other customers walked in without appointments and the other accountants were quick to help them with their taxes. This locally owned business is the hidden gem of Martinez. Thank you America's Tax Service for letting me continue being happily married in our honeymoon stage. read more

If I could give more stars I would! Best place to get your taxes done. Family (and pet) friendly office. Knowledgeable staff and you'll feel extremely welcomed when you stop by. read more

Today was our first visit to this location. My boyfriend and I were immediately welcomed with a warm smile and great hospitality. Michelle was very professional and full of great energy. She took her time to answer our questions and was extremely patient walking us through the process. Overall we are extremely pleased with our services and she certainly gained two reoccurring clients! Thank you Michelle and family! read more

After our tax accountant moved further away we tried H&R Block last year and were not real impressed. Upon the recommendation of a "neighbor" on the Nextdoor community website I checked in to Americas Tax Service in downtown Martinez. I found several positive reviews on YELP and was able to get a Saturday afternoon appointment within 3 days of calling, even this late into tax season. Michelle was AWESOME! She even found a deduction that we had not been taking advantage of and it helped produce our first refund in several years. Anyone looking for solid friendly tax services I highly recommend Michelle & Americas Tax Service who will be doing my families taxes from this point forward! read more

Michelle at America's Tax Service is awesome. I am a new business owner who is very challenged when it comes to Quick books and making sure things match up. She has been very patient and accommodating with me. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

Michelle is amazing! We have always done our taxes on our own through TurboTax or some other self-tax software and this year it was showing that we owed more than twice what we owed last year. I was totally dumbfounded because not much had changed besides a slight income increase (which did not put us into another bracket). She dropped our liability down to MUCH LESS than what we owed last year, and we ended up getting a state refund that would basically cover the little bit that we owed for federal. We never wanted or expected a refund because we know we don't qualify for those anymore, but she still saved us a TON of money. I felt her rates were totally reasonable, she is so much fun and so knowledgeable! We were stressed out going to this appointment, not looking forward to it at all, and left feeling great knowing that we will be coming back to her every year. Her office is great and even kid-friendly :) We brought several devices to keep our 4 year old occupied and didn't even need them! read more

Love this environment......incredible customers make it a pleasant experience. And, Michelle did my taxes efficiently and got better results than I was quoted at another establishment. Also, we offer bookkeeping and Quickbooks services at reasonable rates. Come see us! read more
