Easy process Ly was very sweet, helpful and professional. The services are reasonable priced.

I highly recommend Ragasa Tax Services.

I am disappointed with the level of service and communication I experienced…read more I dropped off our tax documents on March 7 for Richard and did not receive any updates by March 14. After multiple unanswered calls and messages throughout that week, I visited the office in person to inquire about the status. At that time, Marjorie informed me that Richard had just returned from the hospital and had not yet been able to begin working on our taxes. While I understand unforeseen circumstances can arise, I would have appreciated proactive communication and the option to have another preparer assist us. Unfortunately, no such communication or alternative was offered. I chose to proceed and give the benefit of the doubt. By March 29, our taxes were completed, and I visited the office to sign the paperwork and paid for electronic filing. As of April 20, we had still not received our refund. Upon contacting the IRS, I was informed that no return had been filed under my Social Security number. After again being unable to reach anyone by phone, my husband went to the office and was told by Rina that their system is backlogged and that our taxes had not yet been filed. Rina also informed me that their system backlog was an ongoing issue since before I dropped off my taxes on 3/7/26 so I do not understand why nothing was ever communicated to us. This was extremely concerning and frustrating, as we were never notified of any delays or system issues. At no point during my interactions with Lehua (March 7), Marjorie (March 14), or Richard (March 29) was any potential delay or backlog communicated. The lack of transparency and failure to provide timely updates is unacceptable. Although Rina apologized and provided a contact number for Miriam (owners wife) I have been unable to reach hGiven the circumstances, I am requesting a full refund and will be taking our tax filing elsewhere. Clear and timely communication is essential in matters of this importance, and unfortunately, that standard was not met. As a result, I have lost confidence and trust in their services and will not be returning.

I wish I could give them 10 stars They went over and beyond to deliver excellent tax filing…read moreservices. This is my first time filing taxes with Ped Flores Tax Service and I am so glad I did. Elpidio and his amazing wife made filing my taxes simple. I was having issues with filing my taxes through turbo tax, so I choose Ped Flores Tax Service, due to their Yelp reviews. Which I am happy I did. They do offer online or in person tax filing services and I choose in person. He explained everything step by step and he even put it in simple terms so that I could understand. They were very patient and understanding. Also, they're are very knowledgeable in what they're doing. They follow strict Covid-19 guidelines and their place is super clean and sanitized. They're located at 94-974 Kuakahi Street, Waipahu, HI 96797. I recommend you go and check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Paula Jo Barrett originally told us it was a software error that led to our 2018 IRS audit. We…read morealways felt we were in pretty good hands until this - our first - audit occurred. This is when Paula Jo's lack of empathy became apparent. We found her unresponsive and very unwilling to help. Unfortunately we were lead to believe if any errors ever occurred with the tax returns she did for us that she would be responsible for any interest and/or penalties that might accrue. Not so. We were on our own. Paula Jo not only kept the money paid for preparing our faulty 2018 tax return, she also refused to pay the IRS interest and penalties accrued. Beware: Check your preparer's qualifications: Look for a preparer who is a certified public accountant, an enrolled agent, or even an attorney. Find someone that is required to meet education and experience requirements, pass an exam, and adhere's to professional standards. Don't be afraid to ask for references.

Everyone I interacted with at Wicklund Financial Services were outstanding. Responses to questions…read morewere quick. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. My previous tax consultant of 20 years passed away in late summer of 2025. I started searching for another tax consultant in Hawaii and I came across Wicklund Financial Services. All the reviews were positive and glowing. I also found other services too. I settled on trying Wicklund Financial Services and have never regretted it. I was concerned because my tax returns involve California, Maryland and Hawaii tax returns. I was concerned that they wouldn't be able to help me. Working with Reyn Wicklund, it was clear he understood how to prepare my tax return. He asked all the right questions and uploading all the documents via Tax Dome securely made things so much easier and faster. It also helped me to organize my tax documents as Tax Dome guides you through the various documents needed as well as give you the opportunity to add additional documents outside of the usual categories. By the way, I don't live in Hawaii. I live in Maryland, but that didn't matter. Reyn was able to complete my tax return remotely in a very timely manner without any problems. I will continue to use Wicklund Financial Services. Reyn is extremely knowledgeable, responds quickly to questions and concerns, keeps you updated on the progress of your tax return and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Wicklund Financial Services for your tax returns. I am sure they are equally skilled in Financial planning and other services. The entire staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, very responsive to questions, concerns and inquiries and very easy to work with.
