Las Vegas Tax Services

DO NOT DO YOUR TAXES IN THIS PLACE! ITS A SCAM! This place should be closed down the owner does not know what he is doing I did my taxes here for 2 years and was audited by the irs for BOTH years who is charging me $ 15,000! It is a shame the owner Jesus Vallejo takes advantage of people this way! He alters your information so the amount your getting back is bigger that way he gets a chunk of money from that on top of what they charge you! I can’t imagine how many people have been fooled by this RAT! PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE!

Don’t recommend doing your taxes here
Jesus Vallejo is a thief and a liar
He does not prepare taxes the way they should, you’ll get audited for sure doing your taxes with him and he will still get paid no matter what
I suggest you do them some where else
I’ve done my taxes here and it was a BiG mistake
He’ll barter your child SSN in exchange for $ or who knows!
WARNING!!!’
–Jesus Vallejo is not a qualified tax preparer
He should have his licenses revoked and pay back all the money he stole from his clients.

I got AUDITED for the two years I went here. Everyone I know that went to him (a total 7 people) also got audited earlier this year. Jesus is a POS and scams you on your taxes. In a nutshell, he fluffs your unreimbursed taxable deductions to increase your return. He has your government check sent to his office where he skims a considerable amount off the top without telling you and then cuts you a check issued from his office. I never double checked his work because I have had many friends refer him and also he is a «professional» so I figured I could trust him. Screw that. I hope this douche goes to jail.

Worst experience ever without actual service done.
1. Made an appointment a week in advanced and asked for a list of things I should bring. Never got a call back for the list so I asked for an email to make it easier. Still no response from Jesus.
2. Driving to location on day of appt. Assistant called me with less than 30 mins in advance to cancel and reschedule. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I gave them another chance and reschedule later that day.
3. Arrived at the office on my 2^nd appt time. No one was there. Waited outside. Finally assistant and rives 15 mins late and did not acknowledge me.
4. Went inside and rudely asked why I’m there. I mentioned I had an appointment with Jesus and she picked up the phone and called him, gave me the phone and Jesus basically cancelled on me AGAIN!
5. He apologized but blamed it on doing others taxes and the fact that it’s the last week of tax season (which during my appt it was well in advanced and not the last week of Tax season. he had another 3 weeks til the 15^th). Then he had the nerve to tell me that appointments are not guaranteed. You kidding me!!! I left angry.
Waste of my day and gas. I do not recommend this place to anyone. My experience just trying to see Jesus and get him to look at my taxes sucked. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH JESUS AND HIS STAFF! I wish I had an option to not give any stars. This business does not deserve it.

My boyfriend and I have been getting our taxes done by Jesus for the past several years and after reading this review, I decided to take a look at all my past tax documents and found that there is a discrepancy in our refund amount every year. It never occurred to me to review my tax papers and now that I think about it, Jesus never explained our taxes to us but just our refund amount. Something does seem strange. I won’t be going back to Las Vegas Tax Services and will be much more careful next time.
Fair warning: DO NOT DO YOUR TAXES HERE! They will probably get audited from the IRS which means any client they ever had will also get AUDITED!!! No Bueno:(

Don’t waste your time, effort, or money here. Owner and his workers are very rude. Unprofessional!
Waiting outside in the Vegas sun with my pregnant wife for them to come back from lunch. Worker walks in and doesn’t acknowledge us. Closes the door behind her. Our appointment was cancelled by owner twice! Wtf!!!
I’d give negative stars if I could! FTP!

My experience at Las Vegas Tax Services was very unpleasant, unprofessional, and simply horrible. I should have seen it as a sign when my call was never returned to set up an appointment.
My sister accompanied me to get my taxes done and during the whole time Jesus was preparing my taxes, he did not say much. The only question he asked me was what my occupation is. When he was done preparing my taxes, he provided me a copy of my taxes and pointed out on the cover letter what my IRS tax refund amount will be. My sister and I looked through my taxes and she noticed a discrepancy in the refund amount, which is also the same discrepancy she found in her taxes. My sister asked for an explanation and he said he will show us but I had to pay him first and giving him the benefit of the doubt; I paid him. Jesus turned his computer screen towards us and clicked through a bunch of windows without explaining anything!
Next, Jesus handed my taxes to his assistant and asked her to shred it. We weren’t sure what was going on since he was pretty much mute the whole time we were there. We assumed that he was going to fix the discrepancy my sister found and boy were we WRONG for assuming that he had integrity and professionalism. He actually re-​prepared my taxes without telling or asking me. He placed a new set of tax papers in front of me and told me that I will not be getting a tax refund anymore and instead I owe taxes. He asked me to sign my taxes and I refused because I did not authorize him to re-​prepare my taxes.
Jesus eventually agreed to re-​do my taxes and told me that he should actually be charging me more for his time and service because he has people waiting, which at this time he only had 1 person waiting. Since he claims to be so busy I kindly requested for my money back and told him that I will reschedule for another day when he has more time for me. He refused to give me my money back and carried on with redoing my taxes. This time, he showed me that I was getting a tax refund in the same amount as the first time he did my taxes. I noticed that my tax packet was missing a cover letter so I asked for a cover letter but he refused to give me one and told me that he had deleted it and he will need to file my taxes for the fourth time to generate a cover letter, which I am pretty sure is a BIG FAT LIE. Instead of giving me a cover letter, he scribbled my tax refund amount with a Sharpie pen on my folder that had my taxes in it, which by the way still had a discrepancy amount that Jesus did not explain or fix. My Form 1040 said one amount and he his chicken scratch writing said a different amount on my folder.
This experience was beyond horrible! How on earth does someone go from receiving a tax refund to owing taxes? This seems really sketchy to me. He is either making false deductions or not reporting the right deductions. I can’t believe he is still in business and can calls himself a professional. I definitely will not be going back to Las Vegas Tax Services and I hope his past, present, and future clients will realize that there are many qualified and professional accountants in this city that can truly help you.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but when I do, I am serious about it. I hope I can help bring awareness to others by sharing my experience from the mistake I made by allowing Las Vegas Tax Services do my taxes. All I can say is beware of this place. I should have known better but I was referred by a really good friend and as a fan of referrals I decided to give this place a chance.
In short, here’s my experience.
Jesus Vallejo prepared my taxes in about 45 minutes. After paying him a hefty fee, he told me that I will be receiving an IRS tax refund and showed me the amount on the cover letter. That was the only number he discussed with me on my taxes. He assumed that I wanted a paper check for my refund because when I asked if my taxes will be e-​filed and my refund direct deposited into my account he said «no». I thought it was a little odd but obviously I didn’t put enough thought into it at the moment. He did not offer me any options. I had to request to have my taxes e-​filed and my refund direct deposited. It is the tax preparer’s responsibility to inform you of your options (e.g. direct deposit, paper check, etc.)
When I got home that night, I reflected on everything and decided to review my copy of the taxes. I noticed a discrepancy in my refund amount. The cover letter said one amount and my Federal tax form 1040 said another. Also, my bank account information was filled in an «X». I thought the refund amount on the cover letter was a typo and a quick phone call to Jesus would clear things up. I called the office the next day and left a message but he never returned my call. I stopped by his office on 2 occasions hoping to do a walk in and speak with him when he had a free moment but he was busy so I left.
My sister already had an appointment set up with Jesus and I thought I could accompany my sister and use this opportunity to ask my question. He completed my sister’s taxes in about 30 minutes approximately and told her that she will be getting a refund. I noticed my sister’s refund amount on her 1040 form was different than what Jesus was telling her on her cover letter. Just like mine. I took my taxes out and politely asked why the numbers are different? He told me it’s because I chose to e-​file. That lead to my next question «You charge to e-​file?» which by the way, e-​filing is free. He got upset, didn’t answer my question, pointed at me and told me that by law he doesn’t have to tell me anything but he will as a one-​time courtesy. He turned his computer screen towards us and quickly went through a bunch of windows on his screen in his tax program and pointed out some numbers but didn’t explain anything. My sister and I sat there confused. I said «but that doesn’t explain the difference in numbers.» He put his hand up in front of me and said he will not talk to me.
Next, Jesus shredded my sister’s tax returns and re-​did her taxes without asking or telling my sister. He placed the new tax papers in front of my sister explained to her that he did this because of the questions I asked and I instructed him to re-​do her taxes. My sister disputed this since she was sitting next to me the whole time and all I did was simply ask a question. I tried to interrupt to ask for an explanation but again he put his hand up in front of me and said he will not talk to me and asked me to leave. I did as told.
Because Jesus refuses to talk to me and answer my questions, I resorted to filling a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). When Jesus responded to the complaint, I’ve learned that he charged me a fee for each form he prepared and I didn’t even get a copy of all the forms. Failure to provide a copy of return records is tax preparer misconduct. The total fees turned out to be more than double than what he originally collected from me. The difference in fee is also the difference in my refund. He collected a partial amount from me and paid himself the remaining fee from my tax refund. I was not aware of this. He did not disclose any information to me nor did I authorize any of it. Diverting refund to an unknown account and return filed does not match taxpayer’s copy is considered theft of refund as per the IRS. This disreputable conduct needs to be reported.
Jesus claims to be in business for the past 22 years and I thought it was interesting that his business does not have a website or any Unilocal reviews especially for a business that has been in operation this long. If there is anyone that had the same experience as I did or have found any discrepancies in your taxes, I encourage you to write a review, file a complaint with the BBB or report to other authorities to have this business audited and/​or further investigated to ensure taxpayers are not being taken advantage of.
If you still decide to go to Las Vegas Tax Services after reading this review then good luck to you
