“First, we went to HR Block, which we have done a few years when the taxes were going to be especially fussy and I wasn't confident doing them myself with software alone. In past years, we must have got lucky because we had reps who knew what they were doing but this year, they gave us a woman who was unfriendly, standoffish and seemed incompetent. Instead of consulting the computer for previous information, she made us fill it all out by hand, then took one glance at our paperwork, heard why our special need this year brought us in, then sent us home. She was apparently not good on a computer at all and didn't want us to see her looking stuff up that she didn't know how to handle. Shortly thereafter, I began getting emails for more information that, as it turns out, was totally unnecessary and ultimately she told us she would just file us incomplete and we could deal with the fallout later. What?! Deal breaker. I picked up our paperwork and checked Yelp for an alternative. We found Michael at TaxBunny and I am so grateful we did.Michael was not only professional and efficient, he was personable, cheerful and generous. When our special need this year took extra effort, he told us what he was doing the whole time and apologized for what he considered extra time to complete the process (it was a half hour. We expected to be there much longer so this was nothing at all). He explained everything during the process and then went over it all before we signed. His rates were much lower than HR Block also.Tips to know about TaxBunny-- he does not do rapid returns. He does efile for you on the spot, however. Parking is across the street in the big lot by the bank and pho restaurant. As opposed to some larger tax prep places (like HR Block), Michael has actually got accounting schooling and many, many years of experience in the field. HR Block trains people to run the software then lets them do your taxes, so they often know little more than you do.End to end, we could not be more pleased or relieved to have found Michael. We have every confidence in him getting us the best refund and zero audit risk. I can't say that for HR Block (who I have now heard even more bad stories about, as I recommend TaxBunny to people. Go here. Don't go there!)”

“I have been going to this particular h&r for the last 4 years and will continue to. I really like Tracy! But it is a little odd that you guys make appointments for me. And then call when I don't show up to an appointment that I did not make. Is there a way to opt out of this?”

“I’ve worked with Abigail entirely virtually. I completely trust her with my finances and accounts. She’s friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and thorough. I’ve been with her for a few years now.There was a mistake made in filing my taxes (wrong category, not her fault- advised by someone at the tax offices) and she was incredibly apologetic and fixed it promptly. As a result, I received a huge refund from state. I didn’t have to do anything on my end.Abigail has been patient in answering all my questions, makes extra time for me if I need it, and has gone above and beyond to help me understand how to do my book-keeping through Quickbooks. I’m very happy to continue working with her!”

“I had a great experience at Dang Tax and Accounting. I needed some help to review my amended tax return since it didn’t correct. Michael at Dang Tax and Accounting quickly found an error in my return. He was generous enough to offer the visit at no cost since the visit only lasted about 10 minutes, which to me exemplifies amazing customer service.”

“Easily the best crypto accountant and team. I’ve had awful experiences with accountants who say they know crypto and then I end up in a worse spot. Edwin has taken reigns and fixed previous years mistakes and saved me a TON of money. Should charge more. Thanks Edwin. Highly recommended.”

“Once again, Sanjeev has been helpful and informative regarding my business taxes. He guided me through some surprise issues with the IRS this year and I was grateful. He was super efficient and so on top of my tax return, that I had to be on my game to keep up. To top it all off, he threw in a bit of humor here and there when I least expect it. I wish to continue working with Sanjeev throughout the year.”

“I don’t know why there are so many 1-star ratings here as I don’t think others have rated this business fairly. I’ve been going to Charlie’s since I was 18 and have received the same service every time. Couple of notes when you come here:-Avoid booking an appointment for the weekend. Everybody and their mother is here as it’s the only available time these people can do their taxes.-Parking lot is small, arrive early.-Do your taxes early. Are you waiting around the last minute to do them, are you upset now that you have to wait +1 hour with others who also didn’t plan accordingly? You can only blame yourself for the wait time.-Bring everything. Obvious, but many people don’t do it. If you think the document has to do with taxes? Bring it. If you maybe think it doesn’t. Still, bring it. Avoid having to make another trip to wait in the queue to have your report looked after.-Typical process: make an appointment via phone. Arrive 10 minutes early to get checked in. Once you’re called, an employee will ask a few questions, input your information into the system as much as they can. Charlie will come by to do a thorough audit review of the report and submit it on your behalf. You pay and go home and that completes your civic duty for the year.-There’s no frills here. You get what you pay for.”
