Give Mike Habib a call. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. I came to him feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, and honestly afraid to face the financial mess I was in. From the very first conversation, Mike was kind, calm, and deeply empathetic. He never judged me--only helped me feel safe, seen, and supported. I've worked with other CPAs in the past, but none have taken the time to truly understand the emotional weight behind the numbers like he has. He listened carefully, broke things down in a way that made sense, and walked me through each step without pressure or condescension. His patience gave me room to breathe, and his knowledge gave me a clear path forward. If you're feeling scared or ashamed of your finances--especially if you're dealing with tax issues or years of avoidance--Mike is the one you want in your corner. He's not just a numbers guy. He's a genuinely good human who gets it. I finally feel like I have a plan, and more importantly, some peace of mind. Highly, highly recommend. read more

I called Mike to help me with both state and federal tax issues. I was behind/had unfiled returns and a significant balance. Mike helped me bring everything current and make an agreement with the IRS. He negotiated on my behalf and was determined to get me the best possible outcome. Additional, when I was freaking out, he was reassuring and also made clear what I could do on my own (and thus save money -- like make an arrangement with the state on my own and how) and where I would benefit from his help. He does all this at very reasonable prices and with complete integrity. He also offered a payment plan option. As part of this I've also hired Mike Habib to do my annual tax preparation and that has been done promptly and well. I will continue to use him for this in the future. I am so glad he does this work and highly recommend his help with tax filings and tax issues. I am so impressed with his expertise, and his clear, responsive communication. Most importantly, given the nature of this work? He is capable, trustworthy and kind. Highly recommended. read more

I usually don't leave reviews unless I am very impressed or very upset. In this case Mike Habib exceeded my expectations and left me speechless. I received a letter from the IRS stating that I was being audited. I was on the hook for a large and I mean LARGE amount of money. Hundreds of thousands due to a naive mistake. I researched solutions. I consulted with different Tax attorney's,CPA's, and ways to resolve this issue on my own. I was overwhelmed,scared, and confused. I found out via an Internet forum that an Enrolled Agent was probably the best option for helping me. I found Mike on Google. I looked at his reviews on Yelp and Google. I looked through his website. I also searched him on the better Business Bureau. Not one bad review or comment. I was skeptical at first but he proved why he had so many positive reviews. He was honest with me and didn't make any promises but was confident that he would help me get the best outcome. He made me feel at ease. He stayed in communication with me and answered all of my questions. He helped me fill out paperwork line by line. He got me approved for a $100 a month payment arrangement. I was worried because I am a worrywart and NEVER had any debt even close to what I was on the hook for. He was always calm,patient, and knowledgeable . He is a class act and I appreciate him for taking this stress away from me. If you seek his services, you most definitely will not be disappointed because he will put in the work if you will. read more

Mike was friendly and got my tax situation squared away! Professional and quickly handled. Highly recommend!

It had been years of me not filing my taxes due to the fact that i would receive garnishments stating i owed, i owed, i owed year after year. I finally reached out to Mike Habib who contacted the IRS on my behalf. Mike filed all the back taxes that were required by the IRS and found out that the IRS actually owed me money for each and every year. Needless to say i have had a great weight lifted off of my shoulders thanks to Mike. I would definately use him again if need be. thank you so much!!! read more

Mike Habib, EA - Tax Services Near Me - Whittier, California

From our first conversation to our last, Mike Habib was kind, professional, and very knowledgeable in handling my unfortunate back taxes situation. He was able to successfully move my back taxes into non collectible. I can now breathe, remove the horrible stress, as I get back on my feet financially. If I need to use him again, I will! The IRS is like a confusing corporation with many mouse traps not designed to work reasonably with normal people. I will always be grateful to Mike Habib and cannot recommend him high enough. read more

I would give a billion stars to Mike Habib if I could! We filed an OIC with the IRS and settled successfully with zero issues (it took a year, no less - but that's thanks to the IRS being majorly backlogged). Mike knows his stuff so they didn't come back to me asking for any more paperwork than I initially provided with our application. What's more, I had initially reached out to a different tax attorney who told me it would not be possible. Thank you, Mike! Will be forever grateful to not have IRS issues hanging over us. read more

Mike was incredibly responsive to my IRS issues. Once I decided to go with him (after interviewing numerous other tax professionals), he got on the phone with the IRS immediately (as in the same day I signed with him) to squash an impending issue.

I'm very satisfied! read more

I would give him 10 stars if I could! He handled my audit for 2 years very professionally. My audit was not even based in CA but he guided me to transfer the case to his district in CA. I must say he did come across from the very beginning as very competent and knowledgeable. You do not even have to meet with him face to face, I never did and my complicated case for 2 years of tax returns audit were resolved unchanged by IRS. He can handle your case wherever you are and being audited. His fees might sound a lot but it will be worth it since you are paying for his top expertise. read more

WOW!!!... All I can say is AMAZING!!!........ I totally recommend Mike Habib to anyone who is having any kind of IRS debt issue... I was looking and searching around so I can help my parents get out of IRS trouble... The first time we went to Phil Liberator... Honestly, my parents were still in major IRS trouble and we we're with this so called IRS Problem Solvers for a few years... And honestly for someone to pay $600.00 to do your parents taxes not including an extra cost of $1500.00 to help you was a total rip off!!!.. 3 year's later my parents are still stuck in the hole, owing more than they did initially, wanting an additional $1700.00 to start a new contract. All I can say is BE CAREFUL who you go to and really do your homework because there are a lot of companies that are there that act like they are helping you... So here we are 3 year's later still trying to look and search for someone who will help... Some plans and offers might sound great, however, Mike Habib, goes above and beyond his duty... He actually wants to help and in doing so he accomplishes more than we can ever imagine... I'm so glad, I was patient and did my homework on companies.. don't need any IRS Problem Solvers, what you need is an actual IRS Lawyer by the name of Mike Habib... He will get the job done... read more

I would recommend Mike to anyone who feels they need that one on one communication. read more

I am a small business owner and searched several years for a reliable accountant to meet the needs of my small business. My previous accountant was competent; however, I always felt something was lacking on the service. I was often having to chase him or remind him about deadlines and never seemed to be getting the full service I was paying for. I met Mike Habib through my mother in law who was going through a small audit with her taxes. She was facing several thousand dollars of fines for inaccuracies that were filed by another accountant and went to Mr. Habib for help.. I was very impressed how he expertly navigated the audit and was able to correct the mistakes made by the other accountant. My mother in law ended up having the entire matter dismissed and did not have to pay any fees to the IRS. From that day, I decided to switch my business taxes to Mr. Habib. Since then Mr. Habib has always taken the time to answer any questions or concerns I have regarding my taxes and handled everything in a prompt, professional, and efficient manner. You would often expect this high level of service to come with a high price tag; however, Mr. Habib's firm is reasonably priced and I actually saved a small amount of money switching from my old accountant to Mr. Habib. I have been extremely satisfied with his work and recommend him to my friends and family whenever they have problems. read more
