Davina is the best! I've been going to her for almost 10 years now and she makes filing taxes a little less stressful. She knows her stuff and is so fun to talk to, I actually look forward to seeing her every year! read more

I've had a positive experience with Downey Tax Co. I've been working with Jesse since DTC established their business in 2013 and I have been a customer since. Jesse is professional, organized and knowledgeable. Jesse and his team value their work and expertise and make you feel valued as well. read more

This fucking place is a fucking rip off, they charge over $400 for $150 service. I give no stars to this sham bus

I am grateful for this company's hospitality. Either they train their employees or really know how to pick a kind and efficient staff. I have been working with Jessica for my taxes, but I wouldn't doubt that anyone would show the same warm quality like herself. read more

I should've known better once other family members warned me of frequent last minute cancellations. I had scheduled an appointment with Liz (owner) then she canceled an hour and half before my appointment after I did tell them over the phone I would be driving from two hours away. I would've been more understanding if it wasn't a straight lie. She claimed to have a "sore throat the day before and still felt sick". I follow her personal page on Instagram and she was having a great time drinking at the Dodger game the night before. So unprofessional for being the owner, it's funny. read more

We came here at the recommendation of a coworker. The lady was very nice and we did better on our taxes than we thought we would. Worth the drive. Tax payment came in very quickly. read more

Not sure what has happened with this place but it has been almost impossible for me to get Jesse on a call or meeting. I have been trying to call in and email and have been receiving no communication. I used to enjoy going here but this has been one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I know Giovani has tried to help me as best as he could. Appreciate that. Only thing I wanted was one hour of Jesse's time to get my taxes done. Just checked my email and received an email from the staff. Waiting to see if I can get a one hour meeting with Jesse. read more

It's Been 2-Weeks Since Speaking To Their Front Desk Manager Christian ( Who Was a True Professional) And Leaving My Information For a Simple Phone Call Regarding a 401K Withdraw Strategy..... Jesse Was The First Person My Information Was Left for..... A Week Later... Nothing..... I Then Called Back And Christian (Being Very Kind) Told Me He Would Then Transfer My Information To Davina.... Another Week Has Passed.... Zero Call Back..... I Understand This Isn't Tax Season and They're In the Office a Limited Time, However, A Simple Call Back Is Vital In Building and Maintaining a Respected Brand. As an Elite Yelper I must Admit This Is The Highest Rated Business That Has Displayed Communication Neglect, Very Surprising. Executive Note: I Will Keep The Yelp Community Updated On This Matter read more

Downey tax company never disappoints, amazing service and the flexibility of appointments is amazing! Jesse has been my tax preparer for years and the best! read more

This place runs like a well maintained machine!! Excellent service, very detailed. Love how I walk in at my appointment time and they're ready to go. No waiting! Our tax guy is Jesse.... read more

My business partner and I decided to file our taxes with Davina Alvarez. We filed late (which we were aware of) and needed to have Form 1065 filed and our K-1's received. The on-the-phone appointments were not promptly kept. Either the CPA was over a half hour late or she had to reschedule (on a couple occasions). My business partner and I understood that they must be slammed with clients filing late as well. To our surprise, we received a penalty from the IRS for a hefty amount, due to the negligence/ignorance of Davina. Had she filed for an abatement (which our new business definitely qualified for) this could have been avoided. My partner and I tried calling several times and were completely dodged by Davina all day. Even as I tried to schedule a phone appointment, I could not. Not even a courtesy email was given to us. Just a "She will get back to you when she can." We understand that we are a small business and not a big client, but Davina did a poor job handling us. Davina has called my business partner and said that we can try calling the IRS ourselves to get a sort of "fee waiver." Meanwhile, we handled it in less than 24 hours with my personal CPA and he did the abatement for us (calling the IRS was not needed to get the form done). We paid him $250 to fix Davina's mistake. I'm so glad that we were a priority at Alexandrian Accountancy. He really knows what he's doing and had informed us of our choices on how to waive the penalty fees as a first year small business. Rafael Alexandrian of Alexandrian Accountancy also works off hours to get the job done as quickly as needed (this is not sponsored)--I'm just very grateful that my business partner and I found a resolution ourselves. As far as service goes, it would have been amazing if a partial refund was given as an apology for a poor quality job done (on what should have been an easy job to do). read more

Please be careful when visiting the Downey Tax company website, my computer security detected it the site was infected with Spam. ... and, if you're at the office of Downey Tax company, do not log into their free wifi... my iPhone was hacked, and wasn't able to recover data. I wish Downey Tax company will work on their online security as they are dealing with all our financial data. read more

My husband unfortunately chose this place to do his taxes. I gave a one star review because DAVINA postponed doing his taxes for about three weeks. Week 1 my husband was missing a document and he was unaware. Week 2 she was too busy and week 3 she promised to do them on a Monday she never got to it so she promised to call him on a Thursday at 11am and never called. When my husband called her, a gentleman answered the phone and said she was still with her 10am appointment. I got fed up and eventually called her myself and she was done with her 10am app and still didn't call my husband to at least say "I'm getting your taxes done now." She ends up charging him $155 and CLAIMS to have given him a discount for a short form. Her lack of communication is really poor and unfortunately gave us a bad experience. read more

Thank you Liz for so many years of help with my taxes, my entire family are completely satisfied with the work and friendly and professional they are. read more

It's close to 10 years since we met Liz and her Downey Tax Team. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism, and performance. Truly a cut above the rest. Knowledgable, dependable, elite. We leave her office knowing that we just received the highest return possible within the limits of the tax rules. We've used her tax advice to ensure the highest returns possible. To say we are happy with her service would be an understatement. She's our go to every year and she's always there, punctual, and ready to work her magic for our family. Thank you Liz, we are most grateful for your hard work and knowledgeable tax assistance. See you again next year! ~ The Duran's read more

My sister and her husband recommended Downey Tax Company to me and I'm glad they did. The service was very friendly and efficient. I did my taxes with Maggie and she was great. Just be aware they do charge for every different paper they must file so prices can look different for everyone. I will definitely be coming back next year. read more

I had a pretty complicated tax situation for 2020 but Jessica made it painless. She was knowledgeable and professional throughout and helped me immensely. I thought I was looking at a grand in taxes owed, but with Jessica's help I even managed to get a return! Cannot recommend her - and Downey Tax Company - enough. read more

The rating for this establishment is well overrated and needs to be brought down. Do not rely on the comments left on the website. Definitely go to locations recommended first hand from friends and family. They charged me $180 to do my tax return and for the first time in my life I had to pay for both state and federal. If you decide not to file with them they do charge a $100 fee. On average I have not paid more than $80 to get my taxes filed. I believe in justice and strongly believe this location does not deserve the payment it gets for its services. Definitely leaving the place I felt used and unsatisfied. read more

I have been going to Downey Tax Company for the past few years with my W-4, this was the first time I had to file a 10-99 and I completely regret it. I'm not one to ever write bad reviews, however this has really messed me up. I filed my taxes with them on February 24th, so I have been mulling whether or not to write this review, but after getting them amended I think its warranted. In all honesty, the person I always go to is nice, but for whatever reason seemed indifferent in helping me this time around. I recorded my major deductions such as mileage, out of pocket healthcare payments, phone use, gas, etc...all the major ones as I use them all for my job. I still owed $6,000 in taxes, which was extremely high considering most of my fellow coworkers were owing between $2000-$4000 which is what I was expecting. I understand we are all not the same but our deductions, age, income, and circumstances are. Needless to say I was quite livid as to why I paid $6,000. I decided to get my taxes reviewed by another company and have it amended. I should have gone to them first because they walked me through each and every possible deduction and were extremely thorough, and ended up getting me a REFUND of $2,100 deducted from the $6,000 I already paid, which I am now waiting for through the mail. When I was working with the new tax company the woman reviewing them stated that some of the deductions that I had recorded were not input correctly or not at all by Downey Tax Company. For instance, my medical insurance was not input at all and my recorded mileage of $12,000 business miles with a potential $7,000 deduction was input as $10,000 miles instead. Everything counts and I was even more disappointed hearing how things were off or shifted from what I had recorded, not just limited to the 2 examples I presented. I will never use Downey Tax Company again and neither will any of my family members. I paid a $210.00 filing fee so they can carelessly input my numbers and go about their day? Nah. Please refund me the $210.00. If anybody would like the name of the tax company that reviewed and amended my filing, please message me so I can tell you in private. Just don't go to Downey Tax Company like I did with a 10-99, or any filing and expect them to really care and help you. *Theres quite a few recent bad reviews as well, make sure you use yelp sort and click on Newest first or lowest rating. Their page at first glance only shows 5 star reviews. read more

My husband and I have used Downey Tax Co the past two years for our tax return and we've been extremely pleased. Davina was our tax preparer both times and she was amazing!

I've gone to do my taxes with Liz Samaniego for years, but as of this year I will not be going anymore. The reason is she messed up my daughters taxes. Just because of a mistake she did because she was texting while doing my daughters taxes which that is very unprofessional of her. At first she was great but after a while it looked like she didn't care for her customers because my son also stopped going to her as well as most of my family. read more

Fingers crossed that this got resolved successfully, thank you for telling me that our tax filing was finally accepted by the IRS read more
