Chodorow and Chodorow

Very professional group. Always friendly despite the obvious stress of tax time.
Highly recommended!

go to jason if you want an overpriced one way ticket to an audit! jason acted like a friend until he earned my business, i trusted him until the irs contacted me with vicious threats. i tried to contact jason but there was no response… beware ! go find another place, hell you’re better off having your dog file your taxes…

I went to Jason for tax prep for years until we were audited by the IRS. First thing to note is he is not a CPA. He has the lowest level of credential required for tax prep. Second is his fees are astronomical.
Not only did Jason advise me to ignore the numerous letters and said he’d handled the IRS, he became non-​responsive and would not return my calls or emails. He insisted he’d prepared the filings correctly and the IRS would just go away. we got more and aggressive letters and discovered Jason never sent the required docs to the IRS — as he’d told us was being handled.
After seeking advice from actual CPAs and being told we were now knee deep with the IRS, we took matters into our own hands and managed a stressful audit on our own. We payed thousands in tax we did owe (he miscalculated mortgage interest, which is very straight forward) plus thousands more in penalties and interest that accrued during the time Jason (and we under his advice) ignored the IRS.
After trying to work out a solution with Jason for over a year, and undergoing subsequent audits (also resulting in miscalculation by Jason and taxes owed), we sued Chodorow & Chodorow for the penalties, interest and his insanely overpriced fees — and won in full.
Bottom line, go elsewhere. He’s not qualified and won’t be the tax advisor you need. I hope others will take measures against him as owed.

Jason is an outstanding CPA. I was introduced to him by a good friend and he has been my accountant for about 13 years. Jason has become my friend and I feel more confident knowing he is overseeing my personal financial and business life. I have recommended Jason to others in the past and continue to do so.

Well I used to think they did good work here until I continued to be ignored by them when I kept trying to get my money that the IRS owed me, but they dropped me like a bad habit, so I thought the right thing to do was to inform anyone else who might be thinking of using this company for their taxes. Find another place.

Unreliable and unresponsive. Great for the first three years when all they did was our taxes. When there was an issue (small one) we couldn’t get the courtesy of a reply. Multiple emails and phone calls went unreturned. Have switched to a much better firm .and found out that Jason never sent the IRS the letters he had promised.
Stay away — this was an expensive lesson.

The end result of my situation is that Jason ignored me long enough for the timeline to get my money back ended and now we are out over $ 1000! To everyone with the positive reviews I hope he continues to get it right for you the first time because he doesn’t fix his mistakes! I have talked to others now who have had similar issues. Stay away from this place!!!

I live all the way near Pasadena and have to drive to Calabasas every year to do my taxes. And is it worth? Completely! I would be willing to drive even further for Jason. Honest, fast, fair, and quick… nobody else compares to him!

Jason is five stars all the way. He knows his stuff, has a warm demeanor, sense of humor, he is honest and incredibly efficient with his work. Thank you for making tax time easier!

As my business grows, my needs keep changing and Jason can provide support the way you’d hope an accountant would. He understands business needs and is able to provide services or referrals to other solid professionals. He’s always relaxed, with a great smile and I just know I can count on him for his honesty and excellent service. Best news is that I’ve not had to crack open the bottle of whiskey he keeps on a side table for those years when you can get a bit faint-​hearted. Even though I’ve moved farther away from his offices, it is worth the time and the drive for really excellent, honest accounting.

Honest, helpful and prompt.
Jason is well worth the drive.

We LOVE Jason!!!
My husband and I have been going to Jason for over four years and the thing that we like the best is that he is always very informative about what we need to do to help ourselves in the future. It also helps that he has a great sens of humor, it makes the process less painful. His staff is also very friendly and helpful.

Jason’s the best!
