I've been with Shelton & Associates for years now, and they have truly become more than just our CPA firm--they're true partners in our success. From tax planning to year-end filings and everything in between, their support has been rock-solid and consistent. Tyler stands out in every way. He's not only extremely knowledgeable and always up to date on the latest tax laws and strategies, but he also works with genuine heart and soul. You can feel how much he cares about getting things right and making sure we're taken care of. He's responsive, patient with our questions, and goes the extra mile every single time. We truly appreciate the peace of mind and personalized support we receive year after year. If you're looking for a CPA firm that treats you like family and delivers outstanding results, Shelton & Associates (and Tyler especially) is the one. I recommend them without hesitation! read more

We paid Tyler to do our taxes and he did but then did not actually file them and has ghosted me for over a month and I don't know what to do at this point. I want my money back since the IRS claims they have not received them. A text back would be nice!!!! I have called and texted so many times and nothing read more

Tyler is the man! As someone who is self-employed with multiple businesses, my taxes are incredibly intimidating to me. I am not a numbers person, it all freaks me out to be completely honest. Tyler is so knowledgeable, and makes it all makes sense. I go in person and he explains everything so simply and thoroughly, and the results always work out in my favor. The Shelton family has a great reputation, they've never been audited, and they absolutely have their client best interest in mind. I've been with them a few years now, and have sent multiple people to them and everyone is so happy with their services. I highly highly recommend them for all of your tax needs! read more

You know taxes can be very stressful and I'm glad that this place exists because they really give you a good experience and they are very professional. It took less than an hour to do 3 year of taxes (simple taxes-but still). I appreciate Tyler for helping me get my taxes done correctly and made it look so simple. This is my second time here and I will be coming back. It just makes sense to pay someone who is professional to handle it and get it done correctly. Thanks for lifting the ton of bricks I had on my shoulders-OFF! I appreciate your help today! read more

Tyler did my taxes and I was very happy, until I asked him to do my wife's taxes and dissolve an LLC and he unfortunately took MONTHS to get back to me. My wife never received a return back. It wasn't until I told my friend who referred me that I was going to write negative reviews that he immediately got back to me. Very disappointed with the level of service I received from someone who is supposed to be close friends of a mutual friend. It would be best to find another company if you want prompt responses. read more

We have been coming to Shelton and Associates for over 20 years! They are awesome! They make taxes so easy! They are knowledgeable and always make sure to get it the best returns! Highly recommend! read more

Tyler took good care of our business and W2 taxes. He is very knowledgeable in what gives us the best return. We have been going to Shelton and Associates for almost 20 years and they have always had our interest in mind in the right way! read more

Very friendly and helpful! Great atmosphere! Looking forward to using them again for our tax services

I have been getting my taxes done at Shelton & Associates for several years now. Tyler is very experienced and organized. He is patient, knowledgeable and willing to answer the many questions I have. I've never had any issues with delays in response. My taxes have always been done correctly, as Tyler is very thorough. I'm so happy I was referred by my sister. I definitely recommend them! read more

Tyler and Russell have been very helpful processing the tax returns for my family (wife & I, our adult daughter, and my Mom). The Shelton's knowledge and experience have proved invaluable regarding the diverse tax status in our lives. The preparation fees are quite reasonable (i.e. affordable). I "discovered" Shelton a few years ago, when I encountered a major error in popular DIY tax app, and tech support couldn't resolve it. Tyler quickly completed our return, saving me thousands of dollars; there is nothing like having an expert watching out for you! The Staff are courteous, and reply promptly to scheduling and other requests. Regards, Jeffrey O. Corona, CA read more

Recently started coming to Tyler for my taxes and I couldn't be happier! Super friendly, always has the answers I need, and explains everything in detail to me no matter how many times it takes me to understand it Will be using him in the future read more

Unfortunately I have to add my voice to the list of recent negative reviews. Ray Shelton recently passed his business to his nephew, Tyler. Ray was excellent and was everything you could ask for in a CPA. My team and I have been MORE than patient with Tyler on missed deadlines, slow preparation, payroll errors, lack of communication, etc. Unfortunately, Tyler has taken our patience for granted time and time again. Tyler is arrogant, unresponsive, disorganized and should probably find a new career. It's ok to be new to a business and inexperienced. Lack of inexperience should be made up through responsiveness, communication, humility, and hustle. Tyler appears to lack all of that. read more

I've been doing my taxes here with Russell for years. Very trustworthy, quick service and family oriented. Recommend this place to all my friends. read more

I used Ray for over 25 years and I am now moving on. Not the same level of service and I can't afford a screw up in tax filings. So sad!

Ray was fantastic. Other family members are also great. Alway would recommend this family owned company.

Thank you to Shelton for taking care of my taxes, was extremely responsive and great value for the work he did. I will definitely be coming back here every year. read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE. I DO NOT recommend Shelton and Associates in corona!!! They came so highly recommended by so many people and even a personal friend, but dealing with them has been the WORST experience!! I can give specific details for those interested. Just know that apparently the old owner Ray has retired and now his son Tyler is running it. Every step has been SO unprofessional. And it's currently been 8 weeks and I still don't have my return back!! Also when I called to complain about how my taxes were handled I was told "it was not his job to hold my hand, his prices are cheap for a reason AND he didn't want to hear my bitching anymore"!!!! I HAVE NEVER in my life been treated SO HORRIBLY by a company I PAID money to!!! read more

I have been a customer since the mid 90's. Ray was awesome and so nice. He was thorough and understood tax laws. He has since retired in the last two years, leaving the business to Tyler. I am very disappointed in the service now. Neither I nor my children have received our refunds in the last two years. He has made mistakes on my return and is not responsive unless he's delivering quick information. I'm so frustrated right now. He doesn't know when to file electronically or by paper. Everything is a mess right now. They may be overwhelmed so, don't use them right now. Maybe he'll learn as the years go by. read more

I would give a 0 if I could. Ever since Ray retired his nephew is running the business into the ground. Please don't let him do your taxes. He's a kid that doesn't know what he's doing. No business doing taxes. Doesn't answer the phone can't get a return correct can't file on time. Useless!!! read more

If I could give a 0 I would BEWARE he will hand you your tax return and never file them. I'm dealing with 2020 taxes he never filed and now I am left to deal with the IRS. If this has happened to you please reach out. I called an attorney and we can fight for fraud and damages. I already found one other person. I also am filing a complaint with the IRS. read more

Horrible service and skill - one year they put in the wrong social security number and I had to deal with that this year when I questioned the number they were giving me they told me to get another opinion and charged me $200 anyway because Tyler said when people get a 2nd opinion they don't come back and we want payment even though they did not provide me with a complete package and he said good luck with that as I was leaving in a sarcastic tone. Totally unprofessional and rude. read more

I've been getting my taxes done here for years now. They really take the stress out of the process. Pleasant, friendly, experience. Highly recommend! read more

We used Shelton and Associates for the first and now the only time for our 2020 tax preparation. We tried to get credit for not receiving the second stimulus payment and Tyler Shelton said his software would not allow it, but could take extra credit for payment not received by increasing the charitable donations. That's illegal and we would not do that. Amount involved was $363. After our taxes were filed, we received a letter from the IRS on April 26, 2021 that we would be receiving a refund of almost $496 for overpayment in penalties. After multiple telephone tries and a letter to the IRS, they're too busy and call back later. Having Shelton & Associates do our individual income taxes, and their errors, we are out over $849. Due to errors and limitations in software, we will never have them do our taxes ever again. read more

been using them for several years now. Tyler is a great guy to work with on my taxes. I've never had a problem and even had his dad work with me this year. Very well organized and I absolutely enjoy the down to earth talk from the firm. I can only assume all the negative reviews are from people who might be the "easily offended" types. As for me, I enjoy those who don't drop hints and just give straight cause/effect advice. read more

We worked with Ray for many years, but since Tyler took over, my return wasn't filed for 2019. I got a notice from the IRS to tell us it wasn't filed. So we contacted Michelle an assistant. She started looking into it and somehow the return just got filed, TWO YEARS LATE! We are now faced with late fees, back taxes, and I have been trying for months to contact Tyler and Michelle who won't respond to emails or phone calls. Not trustworthy and very incompetent. read more

This was my first time at Shelton and Associates and I saw Tyler. He was very knowledgeable and helped me with something super complicated but did it so quickly and easily. Great Tax Office!! read more

After waiting a year for our amended return. Tyler screwed us over for the second time he failed to submit a form with the amended return. The IRS closed our account because they sent him notifications and he failed to respond. Peace of "S" read more

I'm new to filing taxes and the staff here were so great. I sat with Tyler and he helped me understand this much better and even helped me with planning for next year! read more

They failed to submit our taxes to IRS after I signed and paid them. Then once they submitted I found out they failed to input direct deposit data, which delayed our return even more. This business is overwhelmed and failing to follow through in a timely manner. When my wife spoke with Tyler Shelton he called her dissatisfaction "bitching" and never apologized for his mistakes in handling our taxes. I don't ever post reviews but this business deserves one. read more

I had my taxes done today with Tyler. This is my second time going to Tyler. I found him to be very thorough and answered my questions so I could understand. I'll go back again next year. thank you! read more

My family and I have used Shelton and Associates for many years and they are the best! Ray Shelton and Tyler are always more than happy to help us with our tax returns and I can't say enough about how reliable and helpful they are. I'm so thankful for their continued great service over the years. Five stars!! read more

Great place, I always do my taxes here the last place I went to was charging me $300+ I feel that he explains everything and help you out a lot read more

Willing to help with those scary questions throughout the year. Hard to find anyone more honest, courteous and affordable. We've been going to Ray for over 20 years, he's definitely one of the best. Highly recommend! read more

Ray at Shelton and Associates has done my taxes for several years now and he's always done a great job for me, my family and my friends. Don't go anywhere else! read more

We have been getting our taxes done by Ray Shelton for many many years. He is quick, professional, honest and can find the deductions so we get the best returns! We wouldn't take our taxes anywhere else! read more
