We had used the same person to do our taxes for years but she was busy and they set an appointment with a different professional this time. She was nice but did talk a lot. The problem happened about 2 months later when we received a letter from the IRS that we owed about $1800 because we under reported our advance child credit. I called HR Block to get clarification and they basically said I needed to call the IRS. I thought since we also purchase the "Peace of Mind" insurance they would help us resolve this. I'm either case, after a few weeks of trying to get through to the IRS I called HR again so they can help. They set up an appointment 20 mins out of town to have a pro help us. When we arrived, he was with a client and said he would be a while and for us to come back. They told us if he could make copies of our documents and ripped the two front pages which were the IRS provided child tax credit pages our to make copies. He said he would call us in a few days but we were going out of town and there was a deadline on the letter so we tried to get another appointment made that day. The closest location was 45 minutes away but we wanted to get this resolved so we took it. Upon arriving and the pro revising our documents, that pro found the mistake and it was due to the original person imputing the wrong information. The current pro did ask why those two documents were removed from the packet and we informed her that our previous appointment removed to make copies. She proceeded to call her district manager, Steve Nordstrom on the phone and we could hear him on the phone say that our original pro who is experienced would never make that mistake and no satisfaction refund will be issued. We were not content with that and proceeded to submit a complaint to customer service. About a month later now they finally called and it was Steve. He said that because those documents were ripped out and the original pro stated that we instructed them to enter a certain amount in that child tax credit area that no refund could be given. We also provided an email from the pro who ripped out those documents from our package stating that he in fact was the one who ripped out those pages but Steve said it wouldn't matter and would take the original "Pro's" word. He decided that our future business and thousands of future dollars was not worth returning this years tax fee. Terrible customer service specifically by the district manager, Steve Nordstrom. I will definitely be using a different preparer for our future returns and advising my friends, family and clients to do the same.

Upon arrival I was told that because I didn't confirm the appointment via the app, my appointment was given to someone else. Mind you I'm a student and during class or throughout the day I'm unable to accept phone calls. I told the receptionist this is crazy, I clearly made the appointment which means I'd be there as scheduled. Therefore, what's the purpose of scheduling if your word isn't valid? She then proceeded to ask the tax preparer if she would be able to assist me because the other clients hadn't arrived. By the time she came back along with the tax preparer I had made up my mind that I refuse to give my business to an establishment of this sort. I had been coming here for the past 3 years without any issues other than feeling that I overpaid every single time. I don't recommend this place and will definitely be telling family and friends to look elsewhere.

The client base immediately fled to find better prices. I was looking for a new accountant. Called this lady. She sounded smart and competent, I was going to hire her. I asked her to give me a price estimate of how much a final tax return (closing return) for a company that is now out of business due to COVID would cost. After getting a quote of $1,700 to do a final tax return, I was shocked. After I told her that it was totally unacceptable, she said that she needed like 12 hours with $100 or $90 per hour, I don't exactly remember, to "set up" the company on her system or some BS like that. The company is dead, out of business, why do you need to charge a horrible amount for set up? This is predatory, and I would say extremely predatory. She also recently moved from "poor" Boulder Creek to Capitola. I bet to look for wealthy clients in a new wealthy area. Terrible experience.

After reading these reviews, my wife and I decided to have Kristin do our taxes in hopes that she could review our taxes and provide tax guidance for future years. Here are the interactions that transpired: 3/23 - My wife contacts Kristin, tells her our situation and sets up an appointment. 3/26 - We meet Kristin at our first appointment. We bring all the paperwork we believe will be needed, and I explain that I've already done our taxes on TurboTax and provide her with the estimates to compare to. At this point, Kristin says she should have our taxes completed by 3/31 at the latest. Given that it's already 3/26, we're elated to find out she'll be able to get it done so quickly. 3/26 - Kristin emails us asking for a few other pieces that she needs to complete our return. We email her back the same night with all the documentation. 4/4 - Having not heard from Kristin, I call the office and leave a message asking what the status of our return is. Jonathan from Kristin's office calls us back saying she's running a little behind and our return should be completed by 4/6. 4/8 - Kristin emails asking for one more piece of information. We had already provided it at the consultation on 3/26; nonetheless, I respond immediately with what she needs. 4/11 - Feeling a sense of urgency with 4/15 looming, I call Kristin's office again to find out if they've completed our return. 4/13 - Jonathan emails us saying our return is almost finished. He says she doesn't want to speed through the return so she'll be filing an extension today and asks for one more piece of information. I get right back to him with the info they need. I still don't know how much I owe and payments are supposed to be submitted with extensions ... 4/15 - Kristin emails our payment vouchers. She then tells me the electronic filing of the extension is failing because of my wife's info. She says she'll try it again and worst case will mail the extension. I have to rush to get the money together and mail a check off to the IRS. Ridiculous. Between 4/15 and 5/28 I called 3 times to figure out if she had completed our return. 3 times! The last time I say we just want our stuff back and I'll file myself. 5/28 - Kristin emails us saying they had problems with their voicemail system. She says she understands our frustration and we're welcome to take our stuff and file through some other means. This whole thing was ridiculous. Why did she take us if she didn't think she could finish. Why did she keep promising it would be done each weekend? Why did they wait until the 15th and make me run around? Why were we the people calling her? Wouldn't she be expected to complete the review in 1.5 months after the filing date? There were no apologies or attempts to rectify the situation. She basically made us spin our wheels for months and didn't provide any service at all. If you can't trust your accountant to be thorough and punctual, how can you trust them to do your taxes? I would never recommend her over TurboTax. Oh and by the way, TurboTax only costs $80.
