David York’s Tax Service

When tax season comes around you want to find a professional, experienced, honest, and skilled CPA to answer questions, prepare your taxes and provide peace of mind — David York Tax Services is all this and more.
David prepared my tax return, answered the dozens of questions and concerns I had, and made my experience easy and quick.
David is my CPA going forward and I recommend him highly.

David York did an amazing job. Well done. Very quickly and with great knowledge. Also the communications via phone prior to the meeting were very professional. I recommend David York to everyone.
I’ll be back for sure.

LOOK NO FURTHER! I needed several years of past due tax preparation, but had no dependable tax referrals. I was not about to hire some of those other well-​known tax services that are on every street corner. I came across David York’s Tax Service on Unilocal and saw excellent reviews. After some thought, I decided to give David a try and I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID!!!
My work schedule varies, so I wasn’t able to immediately make an appointment. One day, I decided to send David an email with a brief summary of my needs. To my surprise, David called me the same day, even though he was out of town, on the east coast! David took the time to answer my questions and made me feel so comfortable over the phone, that I became confident he could help me.
After sending David all the documentation that I could find, he immediately started my tax preparation while he was still out of town!!! That’s what I call excellent service and it was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I received a refund in less than two months after he began my preparation. So why use David York’s Tax Service? There are many reasons. David is professional, he has a sense of urgency with your tax matters and he is very reasonably priced. Also, David’s office is located in a convenient location in Mission Valley.
To sum it up, David is an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him (and his lovely assistant, Marie who is wonderful too).

Oh my goodness, David is the best person you could possibly go to for anything tax related! I started a company this year and had no idea what I was supposed to file or do and he explained everything to me in simple terms I actually understood! He isn’t your ordinary tax man, he is actually an interesting person and the atmosphere there is super chilled and relaxed. Tax time can make the best of people a little on edge, but David is exceptional at making you feel comfortable and has a wealth of knowledge. I don’t usually write reviews on Unilocal but I had to this time! His prices are very reasonable and he does extraordinary work. Why would you go anywhere else?!

David is the real deal. I’m an independent contractor and he helped sort out all of my tax concerns in under an hour. Friendly, knowledgeable and an all around pleasant experience.

I was in David’s office for my tax returns and the experience was very pleasant with him. He was kind, educational and very nice. I was in and out from his nice office and couldn’t be more happy! The price was very reasonable for the work that he had to do, and I felt so much better accomplishing this tax time that I had to deal with. I’m so glad that I found the right person to help me with it and will definitely continue to come again and again for my future taxes. Thanks a lot David for the great experience and nice staff also!

David is a great guy, very helpful and really knowledgeable. I hate doing my taxes and he really came up for me. They even found that I deserve some money back! Yay :)
I’ll keep coming here every year and can’t see myself doing it on own or taking it somewhere else.

David was a great help. I called for an hour long consultation about setting up my new business. His quick advice will save me a few thousand dollars in 2016! Definitely a great accountant!

David York saved us!
Back in April we went to H&R block, and after an hour with a tax lady who kept calling her manager for advice and staring blankly at our forms, we decided to run out of there as fast as we could. I then attempted to do my own taxes online and messed them up bad. So my husband was able to find David here on Unilocal and he was able to fix our messed up taxes and had them ready the very next day! We are very thankful for his help and will continue to come to him every year! Thanks David!

Knowledgable and genuinely cared and took the time needed to help my husband and I on our taxes. We were a bit unorganized but David went the extra mile.
I own my own business and David helped me understand the benefit of incorporating and took care of everything for us! So if your a small business owner, David is your go to guy.

Best Tax Service Guy Ever!!!
My problem being the usual procrastinator, I was calling up all of my own friends/​friends of friends who work in tax services and no one could get me in last minute with the tight schedule I had [though I wasn’t surprised.] After giving up and having to search for one organically, David York caught my eye because it is not H&R Block/​Liberty Crap Service, it wasn’t being thrown in my face with advertisements, and the reviews were simply written by genuinely extremely satisfied clients. I gave them a call and once again, he was completely booked. I was given alternative appointments but I explained I had to find someone that moment. I was given a call back and told to come in ASAP and he’d squeeze me in between clients. By the time we got there we were still dragging our feet but immediately as we started working on it, both my boyfriend and I knew this was the best guy we could have found in San Diego (he ended up helping both of us in the time we were there which we didn’t expect him to do). He was extremely personable, down to earth, and seemed genuine overall. Aside from liking the kind of person he was, he truly knows what he’s doing. After going to other corporate tax services, you realize lots of people are only there for the season and don’t actually do this for a living. With that lack of experience, not only do you end up paying way more for them just to enter some numbers, but you either end up owing way more or getting some change as a refund because they don’t know the ins and outs like he does to save you as much money as possible. I have never left a tax service company in a good mood before and I left almost in shock at how smooth it went. Not to mention that I had zero anxiety the entire time per usual because the vibe his office gives is very relaxing. I HIGHLY recommend disregarding any other recommendations and going to David York to get your taxes taken care of.

Guys were trying to make it out for me, I appreciate that. I had one more problem. California tax board suggest to file first time return by mail, they have some glitch in their system in case of first time electronic return. Thus they haven’t received mine and we needed to mail it.
P. S: ITIN application and joint return didn’t work out. It turns out it’s quite tricky to file joint return as a non resident, you need to do first year exemption and submit your worldwide income etc. Too much pain.

David and his staff were awesome! Very knowledgable and great price! I’ve been to bigger chain tax preparation places and it seems like they hire temp workers who are not computer savvy to help you file and on top of that charge you more. With David You get 1 on 1 service in a great atmosphere. I will definitely stick with him as long as I’m paying taxes (til death)
I don’t write many reviews unless the establishments are worthy of praise and this place is. Thanks guys

This guy…
This guy is the BEST tax accountant ever! I found him on Unilocal (like you did) and figured with so many positive reviews, he should be OK.
He was better than OK. He walked me through the paperwork. Told me exactly what I needed. Made sense of the docs I brought in. He really understands how to communicate A) without making you feel like an idiot, and B) in terms that help you «get it.»
See, It all started when my other accountant worked herself up into a frenzy over my unpreparedness. Long story short, she basically gave me a «well if you don’t like it, go somewhere else» speech. So I filed an extension and started looking on Unilocal.
Best thing that ever happened. My taxes are done, my stress is gone and David is my HERO! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I decided to make an attempt and do my taxes this year. that was a mistake. I found David through Unilocal and based off his good reviews, I decided to give him a call and he was able to do my taxes for me! Please note, today is a Sunday and he was still willing to help. I went to his office and he helped me on the spot. It only took him 20 – 30 minutes when it’s been taking me days. Definitely not my thing, but definitely his! We also discussed a very serious topic about donuts. You might want to bring him a couple before your appointment (:

David is great! I found him on Unilocal and called right away. He returned my call in less than an hour. He is extremely flexible with times, to accommodate us he agreed to see us at 8pm Sunday (that same day). Many tax preparers are booked solid and will not make exceptions, but David will stay up late just for you. That’s amaaazing!
Our taxes where a lil more complex this year, not too much but enough to go to someone. David helped us to get the max deductions possible. He was professional and friendly! He provided such an exceptional service that I am never doing my taxes on my own … My husband and I will be going to David from now on :) ! He’s fees are reasonable too.

I did my 2014 taxes with David. he was very fast, professional and gave me a great rate. I will definitely go back in the future.
He was very friendly and worked very efficiently.

David is extremely helpful. His knowledge of tax laws, accounting, and finance will definitely help you in every way possible. He was able to accommodate my busy schedule to take care of my taxes. Not only that, he was able to provide financial advice for future tax planning.
David is also an enrolled agent so he’s definitely legit.
Just go see him. :)

I got in touch with David York in 2011 when I came across his business card in the Mission Valley area. I was running a party bus company and I was responsible for handling the taxes. I met up with David and he ended up doing my personal taxes as well as our corporate taxes. He even did my business partners stuff too.
I’m very glad that I came across his biz card way back when because he has remained my tax guy and good buddy. I really appreciate the fact that you can ask questions and he gives you straight answers without making you feel tax illiterate. I mean who has time understand tax law through and through… let me tell ya… he does because I sure don’t! Anyway, I write this review with pleasure because he has really helped me/​the company be organized and up to par with my tax needs. Oh he even prepares LLC/​S corp paperwork (don’t EVER use Legal Zoom) Good Luck

Let’s all suspend reality for a second:
…Imagine your favorite Unilocaler is about to get married and may or may not have gotten some bad Tax advice in the past.
…Now he needs to clear up some issues before he combines finances with a Japanese dime piece he may or may not have met in a food court in Vegas.
…If this were to be true he would most definitely get his taxes done by Dave HMFIC York.
So now let’s step back into the real world:.Get your taxes done right, the first time.. This guy will go to bat for you, regardless of your situation. David laid out a straight forward plan to optimize my current tax position and maximize my future returns.
Money. In. The. Bank.
