Pacific Northwest Tax Service

Baruch Valenzuela picked up my case midway through and helped me fight the IRS away from a $ 14,000 overcharge. The services he and his staff provided were rapidly, efficient, and he worked with me to make sure that he aligned with my working schedule and needs. They went above and beyond, accepting payment for an amended return and then continuing to follow up with the IRS for 6 months after until it was all solved.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would use again.

Was doing my taxes and wanted some advice. Based on positive reviews I called and set up an appointment. When I got there I met with George. He told me that they don’t do consultation at this time of the year (this was Mid March). Apparently they are too busy to provide consultation. I asked what he thought I had made the appointment for. He looked up my appointment saw there was no info and said a 16 year set up the appointment. So basically I wasted a couple of hours adjusting my work schedule and driving out there to be unable to do anything. It is up to PNWTS to decide what appointments they will take but I do fault them for not training the person taking appointments. Frustrating.

Went in for a consultation with Sandee. She provided lots of great advice and really broke down what I needed to do to get the most on my tax refund. It was suppose to be an $ 80 consultation, but she waived it for me. Will be back to have her file my taxes!

What a relief having a professional really is. SanDee IS a real professional.

Getting my taxes done has never been easier! I highly recommend you ask for Sandee when you go in. She made things so simple and explained everything in a way that anyone could understand!

I always thought being snotty and doing taxes myself via Turbo Tax not only netted me a larger return, but made me a better person for being a do-​it-​yourselfer.
Call it a moment of weakness, call it laziness or call it coming to my senses, but I decided to use a professional service for my 2010 return. After a bit of googlin’, citysearchin’ and Unilocalin’, I found myself at Pacific Northwest Tax Service working with the ever helpful George C.
He finished my return in just moments and asked me all the necessary questions to finish my return. After we were done, he showed me how much I’d be getting back and boy was I surprised. Not only did he save me time, but he also saved me money!
George was also more than helpful after the fact, answering my various tax questions — without mention of additional charges or the need for «consulting»! To say the least, I’m impressed with this business and will be back next year.

So we all know I have been known to drink my fair share, karaōke, and generously pepper my reviews with overused Unilocal cliches. What you might now know about me is that I am a productive, responsible, tax paying US citizen… shocking I know.
This year I switched states, and briefly got paid under the table then slapped with a tax return at the end of the year. Being that logic and numbers aren’t my strong suit I figured I’d leave taxes to the professionals this year. On a recommendation I called and made an appointment with SanDee. They were very accommodating to my work schedule and have appointments ready for us 9−5ers after hours. I showed up, paperwork in hand and in a little over 10 mins, She was done. SanDee is just magical when it comes to taxes. She then reviewed and explained to me the fine details of my taxes, none of which i understood mind you but I appreciated the sentiment. After calculating my return, and how much it would cost me for her to file my taxes she suggested to me that I go home and try to do it myself. Normally I believe it is 20 $ per form, out of state will run a bit more. She not only recommended a user friendly web site, gave me a few tips and even offered to look it over before I submitted it.
SanDee could have easily charged me for the services and I would’ve just been thrilled to have it done with, never knowing the difference. In the end I was able to do it myself via internet but I really appreciate that she didn’t just take advantage of my naiveté. That kind of honestly is hard to come by.

Every year I used to sit in front of the computer with Turbo Tax and have an emotional breakdown. I felt like The Man was bringing me down big time.
Enter Pacific NW Tax Service. This place, and specifically SanDee, was recommended to us three years ago and we have been loyal ever since.
She knows her stuff and actually teaches tax ethics and other tax classes. When they are done taking a look at your receipts and everything, you get a nice little folder with all of your stuff to mail off and keep in your file cabinet.
I will never like tax season, but having someone else do it makes it a little less painful.
Hint: It is best to make an appointment, but I think they do take walk ins too.
