I made the mistake of going today April 14th- the day before Tax Day. I was on line at 11am and didn't get finished until 2:35pm. I must thank Jamie for preparing the paperwork and Claudia for finishing my taxes. Next time, I will be going in March not April ....GOD WILLING. I just want to thank them because I made over the income limit and they did it anyway. I'm a little sad because I can't go there anymore for the tax income limit. The good thing is the other tax location is in Morrisania Health Center down the block. THANK YOU ARIVA. They are located above SPRING BANK. Thank GOD I got my taxes done.

This is some of the best service I've received from any business or organization - and in this case…read moreit was all free. A few years ago, when I filed taxes for the first time, I went to my local library, which hosted a VITA clinic run by Ariva. They set up shop in the basement, and while it was busy (since it was mid-April), it was calm, comfortable, and organized. I don't think I made an appointment (I can't recall) yet I didn't have to wait because there were plenty of staff. My preparer, Jennifer, was friendly and very knowledgeable. In about 30 minutes, she filed my federal and split-state returns, as well as educated me about various deductions. I never imagined filing taxes could be such a pleasant experience. Thanks, Ariva & Jennifer.

Came to them not too last minute to get help with individual tax filing in a complex year, and I…read morehave never used anything but turbotax in the past. Their rate is not terribly low but I figured it would work out considering that they might get me a better refund than, say, HR Block. They offered the rate plus an hourly for their individual preparation, and I agreed. After entering my documents, my agent learned about my small LLC started during the previous tax year, and requested the relevant documents to file the taxes for it. Great! It is a tiny business- it seems my agent is going to throw this in to maximize the return. 2.5 weeks later, after an update request, someone else from the company sends me a message informing me of an added $750 plus hourly (!!!) for the LLC filing. It had been 7 weeks of their collecting documents altogether, with no other information provided about my status/return. I told them this was unacceptable and that in order to continue they would need to wave the fee or offer a discount. They offered $200 off what would be an extra $1200 or so. I'm throwing them a 2 star for at least acknowledging a mistake and offering a partial refund. This is probably too generous considering I'm paying them $230 in hourly fees for absolutely nothing but stress. Went to HR block and got a nice return for maybe a quarter of the price.
