I have to give a shout out to Andy and the staff at Pronto Tax School. I feel so blessed to be a member. Andy and others produce extremely useful videos, webinars, podcasts, training tools, infomercials, boiler-plate letters to clients, and ongoing information and advice. If you need Continuing Education (of course, everyone needs it), Pronto Tax School is the place to go! Seriously worth every penny. As a retired college professor, I give them an A++! read more

Stay away from Pronto Tax School! I purchased their CPE and software packages, but they engage in false advertising and misrepresent their products and services. The customer service is abysmal and deserves a zero-star rating. Despite sending over seven emails over 4 days, I received no response, and when I finally got through via phone, they complained and were unprofessional. The customer service managers, Imelda and Karen, admitted they didn't care about the business's reputation or how they treat customers. If you're looking for CPE, mentoring, or software, find another provider. Their business practices are far from what others have described. read more

A big thank you to Ingrid for her help and advise on how and which way to file so it would best benefit me. Much appreciated!

PTS is the best by far! Superb writing, staff and support. The web interface is amazing! The course is informative, difficult, but they make it easy to get a passing score -- open book exam with infinite retakes. Many webinars and extras once you become a member. Strongly recommend! read more

Hi, I wanted to take a moment to write a review about this business. Cynthia did my taxes today, I am super grateful since it was totally last minute. I'm happy with the service and my tax return. read more

Cynthia has been my go to gal when it comes to doing my taxes. This is my 3rd year with her and all I can say is that she is Amazing at what she does! She's fast, informative, good at communicating. She makes my experience every year painless and easy. My family has been going to pronto tax for years now and that how I got recommenced. I live in San Diego and she has always taken care of me in the most professional manner. Thank you Cynthia and Pronto tax for everything ! read more

I am currently a student taking a beginning tax course from Pronto. I have had a career for over 30 years which I now have a medical condition diminishing my ability to be fully employed. I am half way through the course and I can say the teaching is very understandable and put together in a logical and very helpful and thoughtful way. I am truly impressed. When I have needed some occasional help along the way the staff there have been more than helpful, making me feel like my success was important to them and not just treating me like I merely represented dollar signs. I feel very good about recommending them highly! I don't know anyone there and only chose them through the internet without having a clue about them other than that. Just saying, cause I rarely give 5 stars. read more

Pronto Tax School is great! The material is fun, and the people are super helpful and more than fair regards to how they are in their business. I definitely recommend them! read more

Really liked the online California tax course. Though some of the content was a little unconventional, it was super informative. I look forward to taking their business tax courses and EA tax courses. read more

The continuing education at Pronto Tax is very clear and informative. Dealing with their staff is a breeze, no hassle and very friendly. Keep the good work guys! You can count on me every year! read more

This tax school is great. I've done several CTEC renewals with them and is a very smooth process. Thank you!

Absolutely 5 stars because this tax school makes learning taxes actually interesting and entertaining. Whoever is writing up the online tax courses for the yearly recertifications is really an excellent tax pro and writer! I found myself going back and re-reading parts of the course even AFTER I had passed and paid for my CTEC certs. The customer service is great, you get a call back within 48 hours or so. Most often, I received a call back the same day or an email acknowledging my issue and a great customer service attitude. I'll be using Pronto Tax school from now on and can tell you that from my own experience this school and the courses I took were much more valuable, informative and easier to learn than the H&R Block courses and trainings I've had to take as manager, receptionist and tax pro. read more

Pronto Tax School provided a high quality CTEC course for an extremely reasonable price. I have taken numerous CTEC courses, and from now on I will be taking my CTEC renewal solely through Pronto Tax School. Their customer service was fantastic! Thank you! read more

I have had the pleasure of working with both Emilio and Cynthia Fuentes on my 2013,2014,2015 taxes and let me tell you, SEAMLESS,EASY AND PLEASANT. I am guy who likes to get in and out, not only was that the case but they also treated me with respect and were just overall very personable. This is a legit, independent review and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for tax services. Awesome read more

I am so amazed and refreshed to find a tax school that truly cares about its students! I have taken the beginner tax class and am now taking the CTEC 20 hour refresher course. Both are very well written and so easy to understand. The author even puts little nuggets of humor and video links that make me laugh or smile while studying. I highly recommend anyone to take any course offered by Pronto Tax School. On the few occasions that I have needed to contact them, they were extra speedy on getting a reply to me. The customer support is amazing. I am a very satisfied & happy customer. read more

I'd give it a zero, they tripled the cost of tax classes with self study compared to other providers and their Spanish version has so many typos that my mother took twice as long to finish because of her inability to the understand the questions. read more

Was not happy with the lack of information in their 60 hour course. 20 Hour was a little better but just not what I was personally looking forward to. Last thing was support was hard to get, easier to email them than to call. read more

If you are looking into becoming a tax preparer, owning a tax business, need to renew your CTEC license, or qualify for ASFP, this is the ultimate tax school. Price wise, they are the most affordable school available and offer the best support and up to date changes you will find. I saw the great reviews for their tax school on Yelp and immediately signed up for their CTEC renewal course. The fee was insanely low and affordable. But the quality did not suffer. It was the best online course I've ever taken. As soon as I passed, they took on the responsibility of notifying CTEC and getting me approved for ASFP certificate. Then they sent me free, a tax season update on all the laws that had been extended, changed or added, right before the 2014 tax filing season began. You will not find better value for the dollar, you will not find a more caring group of individuals. read more

I've been a licensed tax preparer since 2003; so I've completed my 20 hours of training for 10 years now. This is my third year in a row using Pronto Tax School, and I love it! It's easy to understand, written in a very personable voice, and the content gets right to the heart of what I need without going off the deep end. I appreciate that! And for $37 dollars I get the whole 20 hours. No more counting 3 from this one, 5 from that one, 2 from that one etc etc etc only to get to the end and have 19 hours and needing 1 more. It's easy... Like one-stop-shopping. I definitely recommend this training school for your CTEC renewal; especially when you have an established clientele and you know precisely what you need to serve them best each year. Pronto cuts out the fluff and just gives you what you need and want. Thank you Pronto! --- It's only missing a star because I have to use a different ed provider for in-depth learning and "how to..." on other special topics like 1099-B, Stocks & Investments. I wish they has a few "mini-courses" for certain special topics. That's all... read more

Cynthia Fuentes is about as detailed and fast if a preparer as I've ever worked with and I used to pay over $1000 per year in tax preparation services. This year and last year, I came in with all my documents and was out of there in less than an hour. She is also very responsive to follow up questions. I will use Cynthia every year for my taxes from now on!! read more

Ingrid helped me with my taxes this year and gave me a huge return I was happy with. I've never had an easier or more pleasant experience. It was fast, easy, convenient and very reasonably priced. She is a pro and I would recommend her to anyone. read more

The tax class was great. However, I am very disappointed that they have not reported my hours to CTEC as promised and I am now late. I called them on 10/29/14 and was told they would be posed and I would not be late. It is now 11/3/14 and I still cannot renew my license. I have tried calling but no answer and their message box is full and they are offline as well. Because of their lack of concern I now have to pay a late fee. I am not happy about this. read more
