About 5 years ago, I was introduced to Mr. Steve Ostiller CPA by a friend of mine, Ronnie; he was a…read morehappy and satisfied customer of this accounting group for many years. Before meeting him, I was trying to do my own tax using Turbo Tax, but not very well. Although I was trying my best, I could never tell if I was doing it correctly, and I always had to second-guess myself and I was constantly paranoid about getting audited by the IRS. To make my long story short, Mr. Steve Ostiller has been handling my tax for 5 years, and I cannot be happier. Now I meet him once a year face-to-face for an hour, before April 15, and he handles all the rest. He also emails me right back, whenever I have silly or mundane tax questions. Highly recommended!

I have nothing but positive things to say about this company and their staff. When I decided to use…read morethem as my accountants, I was able to make an appointment easily and conveniently to my schedule though tax season was already rolling. Basically, they made time for me. Christine Sandhovel sat down with me and in one long block efficiently completed my taxes based on a form she sent me ahead of time and my W-2's and 1099's. I have fairly complicated taxes as they are partially a Schedule C and I was nervous as to what I might owe. Christine managed to not only find enough write-offs that I did not owe money, I actually got back a fairly large refund. My taxes which are normally incredibly stressful, were handled capably and with a warm professional staff. It was virtually painless and I received my final documents and completed tax information in the mail quickly. I am now a committed customer.

I've used other tax professionals and I've also done my own taxes. I have always felt that I was either leaving money on the table and overpaying the FTB/IRS or I felt that I was doing something wrong and would be getting a letter telling me that I still owe money and late fees. I never feel that way when I'm done with my taxes here. I know they are done, done right, and documented well. Doing taxes is right up there with going to the dentist for a root canal but I actually look forward to talking with Mike and his super friendly staff at tax time. Thanks Beach Cities!

I entrusted this Enrolled Agent with resolving a serious tax identity theft issue involving a…read morefraudulent 1099-MISC, and the experience was beyond disappointing. After 20 months and counting of waiting patiently , I was left with little to no communication, vague answers, and virtually no sense that my case was being actively managed. As a client, I expected someone with specialized IRS expertise to be proactive, transparent, and responsive. Instead, I found myself constantly wondering whether anything was actually being done on my behalf. Important questions went unanswered, updates were nonexistent, and I had to spend my own time chasing information that should have been provided without me asking. Tax identity theft is an incredibly stressful situation, and hiring a professional is supposed to provide peace of mind. Unfortunately, this service only added to the frustration. I paid for expertise and advocacy but felt abandoned throughout the process. I cannot recommend this tax service to anyone dealing with a complex IRS issue. If you value communication, professionalism, and accountability, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. I wish I could give them 0 stars.

When we came to Ace Plus Tax Resolution to resolve his IRS tax debt, our small business had been…read morehit extremely hard by the COVID restrictions in CA. My prior CPA tried to negotiate with the IRS but unfortunately was unsuccessful. The IRS had sent a final Intent to Levy Notice and was just about to enforce its collections on a $70,000 tax bill, which we could no longer afford to pay. It was very concerning. We started looking for help and were referred to James Cha CPA with Ace Plus Tax Resolution. James was able to suspend collection actions before they began, saving us money while they helped us prepare to submit an Offer in Compromise. Although this was really a complicated process with lots of moving parts, since the beginning, I've been very impressed with James's professionalism and due diligence system. He helped organize our finances, communicate an accurate view of our hardship to the IRS, and helped us create better habits for our business accounting in order to remain in good standing. Through his exhaustive strategies and negotiations with the Offer Examiner, James helped us along this stressful time. And amazingly, he was able to get our tax debt settled with the IRS for only $180! This was a huge accomplishment and victory over the IRS that I never expected. Even with the professional fees paid to Ace Plus, the savings are huge - and a huge weight off our shoulders. The best Return on Investment I've ever made in my whole life. We are truly grateful to James and his team for helping us to this victory!

Kreisman, the head of TRI's legal department handled my case extremely professionally and was very comforting when he stopped the IRS from garnishing my wages and levying my bank accounts. With the help of the principals Peter and Matthew, as well as Norman Uriel and Angela my worries were set aside. They made me feel so calm as their customer service was outstanding. In addition to keeping the IRS from collecting against me, Norman was able to file a Bankruptcy to eliminate the $612,000 liability, giving me a new start on life. I would highly recommend TRI if you need a good accountant or have an issue with the IRS. These guys are the best.
