Kathy, my CPA for 3 or so years now, responds super fast, even at crunch time. She is direct and to…read morethe point, wasting no time, and always punctual. She charges a fair price and helped me get a substantial refund last year. Cuz of an annoying K-1 that always comes late, I have to file an extension every year, but she has been appropriately conservative in estimating the amount I should pay both the IRS and FTB just in case on Apr 15, making my refunds even more pleasant of a surprise lol. She's also helped me with my dad's tax returns. Thank you! P.S. I think I already alluded to this earlier, but to emphasize in this day and age of stupid inflation: her prices are very reasonable, at least based on what I just read chatGPT says I should expect for our return's degree of complexity. Shoot, does that mean if she reads this she will raise her rates? I hope not hehe

Just had my taxes done with TT Tax and the process couldn't have been easier. The receptionist, I…read morewished I had gotten her name, was so nice and friendly. She retrieved my documents from me and started me on the process. After which I met Kathy who is very efficient and nice as well. She got through my taxes in just a few minutes albeit my tax case was relatively simple and cut through. Kathy went over my taxes with me and explained each line to me. Then explained the amounts I would be getting for my federal and state tax refunds. I liked at the end how Kathy put everything in a nifty blue folder for me to take. I would definitely recommend TT Tax for anybody needing to do their taxes and will do my taxes with them next year.

The last time I've been in their office was over in Garden Grove and they get super packed and from what I see their office is now in Fountain Valley... Tu told me to just transfer to email 3 years ago and although it has kinda taken longer (understandable) just be patient with them. The pay off is well worth it! They are busy up until now as I wait to finish my taxes...and last time I checked they were not accepting any new clients. The whole point is they are professional, knowledgeable, and the pay off is great.

We've been clients of Smart Tax & Accounting for several years. When we first started, we worked…read morewith someone named Kim and had a great experience. Unfortunately, she eventually left, started her own firm, and later moved to Texas. After she left, we continued with Smart Tax & Accounting. For Tax Year 2022 we met with Liv, and unfortunately, that experience was not great. She may have been new at the time, but there were several mistakes, so we requested to work with someone more senior. We were then assigned to Tai, and for Tax Years 2023 and 2024 everything went smoothly. He was responsive and generally took the time to explain things clearly when we had questions. However, our experience during the most recent tax season (Tax Year 2025) was disappointing enough that we've decided to end our relationship with the firm. One issue involved Roth conversion planning. We asked Tai to run some numbers because we were considering doing a conversion this year. The calculations he provided contained several errors. When I pointed them out, he reran the numbers, but the revised version still contained mistakes. For something involving tax planning, accuracy in these calculations is obviously very important. Another concern was his comment that we shouldn't provide our mortgage statements because he didn't want to run the itemized deduction forms since we would "most likely" take the standard deduction. My understanding is that they charge based on the number of forms filed, but it didn't make sense to me not to run the itemized calculation at all. Even if it's unlikely, the numbers should still be checked to confirm which deduction is actually better. Overall, the process this year just didn't feel as thorough as in prior years. For example, there was no discussion about our charitable contributions, and we also weren't consulted about when our federal tax payment would be withdrawn. We eventually realized that the payment was scheduled for April 15 after not seeing a withdrawal for several days. Personally, I would have preferred the payment to be made when the return was filed, but we were never asked. In the end, there were simply too many issues this year for comfort. Our taxes are not particularly complicated, which made the experience even more surprising. Because of that, this will be the last year we use Smart Tax & Accounting. Hopefully the firm improves its review process and communication for future clients.

I came to Mindy for a few paid consulting sessions and ended up having her handle both my personal…read moreand business returns -- easily one of the better decisions I made this year. What stood out was how informative each session was. I never felt like I was being rushed through a checklist. She actually listened to my situation, asked the right follow-up questions, and explained the reasoning behind her recommendations instead of just telling me what to do. As someone who's a CPA myself, I appreciated that she could go deep when I wanted to and keep it plain when I didn't. She also found ways to optimize my return that I wouldn't have caught on my own. That's the real value of working with someone who does this every day and stays current. If you're a small business owner juggling both personal and business filings, or you just want someone who'll treat your return like it matters, I'd recommend booking with Mindy. Very satisfied and I'll be back next year.

This tax servicer is a scam. The owner is rude and unhelpful. My parents went out to request her…read moreservices to help fill out and send forms for the car tax relief. She said yes and after they paid her she helped fill out maybe one simple form, she didn't help them send out the form because my parents at the time didn't remember their password to the account. The issue is not just that she didn't help them finish the full task they paid her to do, but her attitude through the whole process. She talked down on my parents and in the end couldn't even help them.
