I can't say enough great things about John and the entire staff at Butte Tax Office. From the…read moremoment I walked in, they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. John was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He took the time to explain everything in plain language and made sure I understood each step. It's clear he genuinely cares about helping people--not just getting the job done. The rest of the team was just as friendly and professional. You can tell they work well together and truly value their clients. Whether you have a simple return or a more complex situation, this is the place to go. Highly recommend Butte Tax Office if you want expert service!

A friend recommended them for taxes because they charge a more reasonable amount to do your taxes…read morethan I was paying somewhere else. You upload your documents to a "secure site" (which is a joke I think? My browser gave me a warning about it not being secure and someone could be trying to steal my information - LOLZ!). Then you dont hear back from them for over a month. April 15th passes, no word. Luckily the tax deadline was extended this year (2021). When you call, you are told "its being reviewed and they will reach out to you, probably today." No one does. The next week you call again and they say the same thing. Then someone does reach out to you, huzzah! But it's not the person who did your taxes to go over them with you. That would be helpful. Instead you hear from the receptionist telling you your taxes are done and what you owe them and the government. Okay. Great. You look at your taxes and shit you owe A LOT. You're not used to owing SO MUCH. If you happen to have a question about something, they treat you like you're an annoying idiot and say "I've only been doing taxes for 34 years, I think I know the law..." Mmkkk. Yes, thats the reason you, and not me, are doing my taxes. And I'm ignorant, so I have questions. Jesus, I'm not attacking your intelligence. On the contrary, I'm seeking information to understand. If there is a mistake with the paperwork (payment math isnt adding up to the total balance, the first payment shows its already past due), when you ask about it, they tell you Tracy is busy and won't be able to look at whether the information is correct, for a month. A month, seriously. Your tax paperwork has errors and they can't even look at it to check their own work within a reasonable time frame. You need this information to be accurate because you need to take action on the information (the first payment is due in a couple weeks). Or is it already past due? Its too bad you're unimportant enough to get prompt service. I dont understand why someone else other than Tracy can look it over. She didnt even do them in the first place. Someone else there did. Not great service.

I am very disappointed with the "service" I received from Chris Bonacorsi. He had been doing my…read moremom's business taxes for many years so she must have been happy with his work. My experience with him is that he didn't return emails or phone calls to answer pertinent questions I had. His receptionist was excellent and always got back to me with an answer. When I asked him specifically if I should report Trust expenses he said no. He pawned the taxes off on an associate (THANK GOODNESS) who advised me to report the expenses which generated $4500 worth of carryover deduction for the following year. What did Chris bill me for none of his hard work and all of his unresponsiveness??? $600 Chandese Meghdadi, on the other hand, was awesome for taking over and giving me very professional and personalized service! She has moved on to Tittle&Company.

After many years with this firm I was dropped when the CPA that handled my taxes left the firm…read more When I initially asked Ms. Willingham what had happened her response was basically, "We've dropped many others who have been with us longer than you." No apologies or empathy. When I shared that I had been promised my amended return (due to tax legislation re. PG&E payments) would be done for free, I met with resistance and doubt about the legitimacy of my claim. After verifying my claim I was told the promise would be honored when guidelines were established regarding the process. After two months of unanswered emails and phone messages (and long after the guidelines were made available) I finally gave up and asked my new CPA to complete the amended return. It took her about three days to complete. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Ms. Willingham for tax services.
