"A friend introduced Ms. Shahin Koohkan to me and that is how I ended up calling into this tax company and driving almost 40 minutes to meet her. I have met a couple of nice and helpful tax assistants within the last 10 years. This year my tax situation was a little bit complicated, I purchased a home recently and had no idea how to deal with home related tax form and also my husband has lived in another state all year long due to his job situation. Unfortunately Ms. Koohkan was not nice at all and was not willing to help. She mentioned my tax will takes longer and she has another customer right after me. I was even ok to pay more if timing was the case. She started asking questions like why you made appointment with me not with your last year tax preparer? My answer was because I was not very happy with what he did, i had a hard time getting my tax return and it took longer due to a typo mistake he made. Her answer was "since your paperworks takes long time your previous assistant was frustrated and you probably paid him less than what he deserved so you better go back to him and ask him to get your tax done"!She even had no idea about my previous experience! She asked why my husband is not living here with me! What kind of marriage is it?! A NOT her business question! She told me my marriage is illegal since my husband lives in a different state and she is not comfortable helping me getting illegal married filling jointly tax done!!! I was shocked hearing all her words. She was so rude, not nice and her attitude was not professional. If I were her I would defiantly say your paperwork takes longer and you may end up paying more and we need to stop when my next client shows up and will continue with your filing after she/he is done instead of ignoring my new client who could be a forever client and would definitely mind my business not asking very personal questions! I have to mention that this is the first time I am writing 1-star review for someone. But her attitude made me sad and disappointed. I feel so sorry for her and Unfortunately i had the worst experience ever and wont recommend her at all."

"Got my taxes done here in March and it was easy, stress-free, and super thorough! Shahin took care of me and got me a huge refund. Prices are fair but the service is why I’ll be returning next year. Definitely recommend this place."

"I had my taxes done here and the customer service was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and professional. I was able to get in and have my taxes taken care of very easily. Everything was very thorough and I could tell they really cared about my finances. It was quick and easy and I trust Shahin 100% to have filed everything perfectly. I highly recommend Cal Budget services!"
