Income Tax Express

Great service… great people! George Choven is my guy. He is knowledgeable in the area of tax and gets it done for u quick. Pay your taxes… use George Choven to help u do that!

This is my second year I’ve had my taxes done with Income Tax Express. I was in and out within an hour. He took his time to review my documents with me, which is excellent because I’m not financial literate. He is pleasant to work with, and was courteous to my five year old child. He was also very accommodating, and was able to meet with me at a time that was convenient to my schedule. I will continue to give Income Tax Express my business year after year!

So i went here twice. The first time was based off Unilocal reviews and like most people said he charged $ 50.
It seemed pretty quick and easy and no problems.
So i went back the year after. I called and he asked how much I charged him last year and he said that was fine.
So I went in I feeling a tiny bit more comfortable and felt like I could have a bit more conversation in regards to my taxes because I was trying to start a business as a freelancer. I don’t know anything about taxes so I figured I could get all the information I needed from him. Well guess what? He got irritated and didn’t really give me any real answers to anything nor did he explain anything clearly to me.
On top of that, at the end of the appointment which wasn’t that long btw, he said it won’t be the $ 50 he charged last year and that it would be $ 100.
I was really disappointed at how this man does business. He didn’t give me any heads up that it would be considered a business consult and cost more to have me ask him a couple of questions. It wasn’t like I was asking questions that were more complicated or that much different from the year before.
Also the office is on the second floor of a building in which you have to wait outside if you have a morning appointment for the guy to get there and open the gate, not so pleasant when its raining outside!
I would not recommend and never plan to go back.
when I get my taxes done, i would like to find someone I can trust and has integrity and be able to have a long relationship with and this is not the one.

I gave 1 star because I got audited by IRS when he did my return. I’ve been going to H&R block for how many years now, but some people told me that H&R are charging a lot for simple return like mine. So I opted to go to a different tax preparer. This guy’s office is close to my place and he got pretty decent reviews her e in Unilocal.So to make it short I decided to go there and have my taxes done by him. To start of, my tax is the simple one. I am an employee with one dependent and no house or whatsoever that would complicate my returns. At first I had no problem with him, he charged me a reasonable amount $ 100 for a simple return and I got my refund in 3 weeks time. After a year, I got a letter from IRS saying that there was an error in my state return and they are asking me to give back $ 216 (the refund I got) + penalties and interest. So I called IRS and verified, they asked me to give them a copy of my W-​2 and payslips. After that I was assessed the my tax preparer made a mistake. Apparently, he doesn’t know the meaning of CA SDI (California state disability insurance), he mistakenly have identified this as state withholding tax according to the IRS examiner I talked to. So IRS is asking me to return the refund I got amounting to $ 216+ penalty and interest!!! I can give back the money to IRS why not, but the idea of getting a freaking assessment letter from IRS wreck my nerves. And guess what he told me, «give back the money to IRS because it doesn’t really belong to you and we will shoulder the penalty!» he did not even bother to call IRS himself (like what other preparers would do) and ask where the mistake came from. It’s not the amount of money that I have to return to IRS that freaks me out. its the idea that I got audited for a small amount and lousy mistake like this…

When I needed to do my taxes last year, I didn’t know where to go so I turned to Unilocal for help. This place seemed to come highly recommended so I checked it out and it was pretty good. I wasn’t a huge fan, but I thought this place was okay. I came back again today to do my taxes, and I have been fully converted.
Today I worked with George Chovan, and he was wonderful. He is so nice and I was pleasantly surprised when he took the time to explain to me how my tax return worked and answered all my questions about deductions, etc. He is very knowledgeable and I really appreciated him explaining everything to me. Even with his attention to detail and time spent explaining everything, my tax return was done in under 40 minutes!
I highly recommend this place. Make sure to mention that you found them on Unilocal because they will give you a discount. And even though prices on pretty much everything have gone up lately, he matched the price I paid last year so that was also really nice. Parking’s a breeze here as well, so there is no reason not to come!

My tax needed to be filed ASAP so I can do the year’s FASFA for school; while searching for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant, I stumbled upon George at this location. I called first to find out the exact cost before going there. After being quoted an initial number I questioned if the price can be lowered because my tax was simple. Most people would just tell me to come in person to discuss the price, so they can possibly hassle me into doing it there, but George took the time to walk me though the process step by step to requoted me though the phone. It was not a general quote but a very specific detailed quote for paperwork. After arriving, we got the paper work done in under 40 mins. It would go by faster, but he took the time to explain things to me and answer my question. Very friendly and professional in service, I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends and I will be back next year. :)

I just finished getting my taxes done with George of Income Tax Express and I am SO relieved! I’m the owner of a new business and needed a new tax person. Talking with George over the phone was helpful in itself! He was so gracious and generous with his knowledge and willing to help me out. Then when I met him in person to prepare my 2011 taxes, he was just a genuinely great person, honest and with great work ethics. I would HIGHLY recommend him!

I randomly found Income Tax Express because I wanted to quickly find something close by since I procrastinated in doing my taxes yet again.
I worked with George who was extremely helpful and thorough in answering all of my questions and going through the details of my tax return. I did leave feeling very satisfied that nothing was missed. Everything was taken care of promptly and they have very reasonable rates!

Definitely will go back again. They really take their time with you. Answer any questions you may have and they are very knowledgeable. The fact that they open on Saturdays and Sundays were very convenient (though we were there on a Saturday). They also accept credit cards (all types) so that was also convenient. The office was very comfortable, lots of room to move around (not stuffy or boring like other tax places where it’s all small.) We really like the lay out of the place which made it real comfortable to be there (since who likes doing taxes, right?). We have been to many tax people over the years and they are who we like best.

I really like this tax office and my tax guy Adrain.
He is very careful and gives you alot of attention on details of your tax preparation.
It takes less than an hour to do your taxes and they will answer all your questions unlike the other tax guys such as LIberty (they tend to rush you out). Highly recommend this place!!!

This is the 2^nd year in a row I’ve had my taxes done with Income Tax Express. They are very professional, and I was in there both times in under an hour. They are very organized and thorough, and went through everything with me. I didn’t feel rushed, and I received personalized attention. They also have very flexible hours of business and can accommodate most schedules. Parking is conveniently located nearby in a free public parking structure. I highly recommend Income Tax Express.
