I got a phone call from David the owner, apologizing for dropping the ball while they were moving. He very much wants to earn my future business. They have locations in Encino and Las Vegas. I last used them in their San Fernando office. As always, David is extremely friendly. Not sure if his business is still ghosting copies of every single page of the tax return that he gives you a copy of with his overkill logo. That didn't work for me in the past. Because he dropped the ball for 2025 tax year, I used the VITA Clinic. But will likely return to Tax Shack in Encino for 2026. read more

Bad experience with David last year, he forgot to send the balance for my income taxes after we finished the appointment so I got a $280 fine in the mail and when I called him to see what happened he just helped me pay my balance but he didn't cover the penalty, I had to pay. Dishonest and not fair! read more

I use tax shack every year. David Powell makes the process quick, easy, and very straightforward, he always takes care of me.

This was our first time working with David Powell at Tax Shack, and we had a great experience. He was friendly, thorough, and took the time to answer all of our questions clearly. What we really appreciated was the value he provided beyond just preparing our taxes. He gave us helpful tips on how to improve our financial situation and connected us with additional resources for other questions we had. We left feeling much more informed, supported, and confident moving forward. We would definitely recommend him and look forward to continuing to work with him. read more

So many great things to say about Tax Shack! I've worked specifically with Fermin and he has been over-the-top helpful when it comes to my taxes and any follow-up help and questions that I have. He is knowledgeable and will go the extra mile to make sure the work gets done. I was having some issues on my end trying to settle some outstanding problems I was having with the IRS and when I came in to get the paperwork necessary, Fermin was already on hold with the IRS to help resolve some of the questions and concerns that I had. THAT, is customer service! Handling your taxes can be difficult and finding a tax professional that you can trust is even more so. I'll recommend these guys over and over again. Thanks Fermin & Tax Shack for all of the help! read more

I used to do my taxes with the same person for 10 years. It was always basic with minimal return. When I started my family it was the same, I always thought I should have received more for my dependents house taxes, baby sitting, and all other taxable items. When I decided to look for a new Tax person I was referred to David from Tax Shack. Talk about getting your max return. It's more paper work and more time consuming, but when you see the amount owed to you. It's makes all the hard work throughout the year so worth it. David is very knowledgeable and brakes down each return down to the dime. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks again David! read more

As a new person with Fermin I thought it was going to take long and it didn't. Thanks to all stuff atTax Shack!

I started using the tax shack a couple of years ago. Let me tell you it was the best decision I ever made. Laura & Fermin were 2 of the most amazing people I have ever met in this industry in the years that and the years that I've been doing my taxes. They are very knowledgeable and helped me get as much money in my refund as they possibly could. They communicated with me and let me know what they were doing and why. They treated me more as a friendly client rather than just a business transaction. I was so comfortable during my visits and I trust them completely. I would never go to another tax person again! The Visit with the Tax Shack was so quick and painless, it does not feel like a chore. They even give out money for referrals every year. I'm very thankful to have found Laura at the tax shack because they are the best tax people around. THANK YOU LAURA & THE TAX SHACK!! read more

I made an appointment for services today at 4:30pm. I was supposed to be there at 5 and missed it by almost one half hour. My wait was still under ten minutes. They handled my business in an accurate and timely manner, the staff was professional, well dressed, and well groomed. The office was clean, and the parking was good as well. After calling several places Tax Shack came through when places like H&R Block and B of A couldn't. Their Hours were perfect too. I have no complaints at all and will send more business their way. read more

This review is for Fermin Aguilera. I only came here because I was referred by a friend that actually works there, she did some social media marketing for him & I wanted to support her... because of that I came in with my guard down. Big mistake. I was expecting to pay $100 -$150 max. I'm a single woman with no dependents to claim. Nothing complicated. Took him 30 minutes or less to complete my taxes. As I'm sitting there he becomes secretive with my friend (employee) about how much he was going to charge me and had a smirk on his face... all while sitting right In front of me... red flag! Then he hits me with $200 fee... are you kidding me?! And that's not my biggest issue, I would have paid that had you at least pretended that you appreciated my business. I know my friend (not her fault) had the best intentions by referring me, but Fermin was so dry, so not personable, careless,unpleasant and pretentious. He needs people skills. Anyways I ended up walking out. To pay $200 for a horrible experience/customer service ... no thanks. I took my business elsewhere. read more

The tax shack is a place I can truly trust to get my taxes done at. The staff here is amazing and do their best to make you feel comfortable.
