FRAUD ALERT !!! TAC Le quoc Bao is cheater!
This is very bad place to file your income tax. I never go back there again. Unsincere and very rude workers I’ve ever seen.
They don’t want to help nor answer your question when I called them. They just want your money!
I went to another tax consultant and got back tax return away much better than Tac.
Very bad taxmen! Never go back to TAC!

Don’t go to TAC. That’s all I can say.

Went here a few years ago… This year I went somewhere else and it’s like night n day… They don’t ask u any questions and make up false items

It’s official. As of 6÷10÷2012, the office is still there but Mr. Bao & Mr. Tony filed bankruptcy & they escaped this Bolsa area.
My mother and I have been waiting @ his office every single day for the past 3 weeks (yeah we’re that desperate cause of the amount of $ that the IRS freaken is after us due to Mr. bao’s incompetency!!!). We called, we knocked on doors, NOTHING.
Recently, my mom found out through Mr. Bao’s cousin’s sister in law that he’s left America to go back to Vietnam. He filed bankruptcy due to the enormous debt that he owed himself. I don’t know what to say & how to even deal with the situation. If only ALL of his customers would get together & BURN DOWN the store, then that’d get my freaking anger down!!!

They don’t even deserved ONE STAR!!! I went here to get an estimate to see how much I can get back from tax return. They took less than half an hour to finish my tax and said I only get so and so back. But they charge me a few hundreds for their service. So, I said never mind and I want all my stuff back. The owner was there and got grumpy at me because I didn’t want their service. He was cursing at me while I was walking out. I took it to another place and got back way back more than TAC and they only charge me $ 150. Don’t go here, they over price and I don’t think they know what they are doing. Not only that, they over charge you!!!

For some reason, everyone at work was going to this tax consultant for their taxes, and of course I got suckered into going as well. It wasn’t until I got there, I realized I made a BAD DECISION! (I should have read the reviews on Unilocal before I went here).
When you arrive, a man wearing jeans, a t-​shirt, and a hat is sitting at the front desk, but doesn’t greet you. He takes your tax papers, doesn’t say anything to make you feel welcomed, and just tells you to sit in the next room. (Which is a room just filled with folding chairs lined up). At this point, no one has said hello or made eye contact. nothing! Another man just calls your name, you look at your papers, then you sign. Nothing is explained to you. I should have decided right there and then NOT to do my taxes with them.
It has been over a month since I filed, as well as my co-​workers, and only 1 person has received their refund so far. Go here if you don’t mind feeling that you’ve been taken for.

FRAUD ALERT!!!
If you let a 5 year old fill out your tax forms and then made adjustments to it by slapping your head on the keyboard a few times, before filing them with the IRS, you’ll still have a less likely chance of getting audited compared to someone who filed their taxes through these white collared bastards at TAC aka Total Asian Criminals!!!
These people somehow finagle the numbers to get these huge returns and the innocent clients, who are unsure as to how to look over their tax papers, are left at the mercy of the IRS when the IRS comes knockin at the door demanding they pay thousands in back taxes for imaginary property they didn’t even own!
For the unknowing client, all you will see is the ridiculously huge return. You will then sign off on the papers, trusting that they did their job correctly, not knowing that TAC has just committed tax fraud under your name! I truly feel they do this bcs. they charge each client based on how much the return is — so the higher the return, the more money you pay these crooks!
Want to come back and ask them what happened on your taxes? Good luck! They’ll look at you like you just escaped the psych ward. You and any of your questions will be avoided and you will be left feeling like you are some bird flu-​carrying, bloodsucking leper.
Thanks TAC for furthering the shiesty Asian business people stereotype! I hope you take that reputation all the way to the top, right up to the BBB, and you get shut down for good! You will forever live in infamy: D

Horrible

I am a loan officer and recently witnessed the fraud committed by TAC in preparing the client’s tax return. They filed that the client owned a home and had a mortgage and claimed a mortgage deduction… but…the client had NEVER owned a home/​mortgage and didn’t know that TAC had filed misinformation till they came to me for a loan. TAC didn’t give them a copy of the full tax return… there was no schedule showing the mortgage deductions.
Now, the client owes $ to the IRS… I am unable to close their escrow on time because this has created a problem and the client has to file a modified tax return because of TAC and owes penalty and interest + they have to pay a per diem late penalty to the seller of the house.
I am filing a complaint against TAC and Mr. BAO who supposedly is the owner of this place and Mr. «TONY» who tells me to go to hell when I asked them to provide us with documentation correcting this situation.
The previous reviewers are correct… stay away from this place… pay a legitimate company and get it done right the first time.

I got a letter form the IRS saying I didn’t file the tax correctly and now owe the IRS 2000 + penalties. Thanks to TAC. How do I go about sueing this place? I want to sue the shet out of this place and get as much money as possible to pay back what I didn’t do wrong. Anybody want to joined me? We pay a couple of hundred dollars for these idiot to do our taxes and put our trust in them then this happen? I am done with TAC and will file my taxes somewhere else. However, I am not done with them by letting this go. I want to meet the people who got screwed over by this TAC company so we can all sue this place or atleast let them pay the amount we owe the IRS. This is not our fault that we owe the iRS. THis is TAC fault.

Hi All people who are cheated by this CPA: We should get together and sue this CPA. I have visited some governmental agencies for the further investigations. But, they told me we all get together to claim… Can we do it? I also had a same problem for 2009 and 2010.

I recently got audited from the IRS for my 2009 tax returns too! This place totally f me over because I was clueless what the heck they filed for me and they didn’t explain anything to me. I had to find another person to find out what they filed because I was confused why the audit notice said I had mortgage when I don’t even own a house! Anyone have any insight or recommendations where i could go for assistant?

like others i am dealing with a tax audit that stemmed from this location, and now have no idea how to deal with it. i have reported him to ctec, like the other reviewer mentioned. if you want to do the same, his id# is 19 413. don’t let this guy screw over any more people!

This is a nice and friendly place during tax season, but call them at any other time and you get a rude and lousy service. I’ve been calling all day for a few days and they never pick up the phone. Finally, I called after business hours one day and a man picks up. I asked him if he can provide some copies of the documents I needed from prior years we filed with them, and he just tells me that the office is closed, and they open between 9−5PM. I asked him if he can give me the information if I went to the office (during office hours) and wanted to make sure if the documents were actually at the office (since the place look like a temporary office), but he proceeds to hung up on me in mid-​sentence.
In addition, this place definitely does not file deductions based on your actual expenditure, as when they give you your forms back, they do not include some documents by default, such as Schedule A. In fact, they don’t even sign your tax forms (something I realized too late). If you care about your financial well being with the IRS, stay away from this place at all costs.
UPDATE: Just to let everyone know, if you ever get a letter from IRS due to filings at TAC, I would suggest going to a REAL accountant to help you. I personally went to a accounting professional recommended by my sister’s coworker, and I ended up not paying a penny to IRS. I’ve posted a review for now my favorite accountant (VisionQwest —
ask for Jojo). There is a $ 500 representation fee, but it beats paying what IRS told me I owed them by a landslide. Unfortunately, in addition to 2009, I recently received another letter for 2010 (also filed with TAC)… but I no longer feel the same despair I felt last year =)

Received a letter from IRS questioning the tax reported. They did not help at all and sent me to another tax preparation office. I then found out that they have a lot of problems due to not providing full document when you need them to deal with IRS.
After this, I checked «BBB» the Better Business Bureau about them and found out they do have problem providing documents. Their rating is «F»…
Now I need to spend more money with a different accountant and pay penalty + whatever they misreported to resolve this matter with the IRS…

it’s official. i took my dad to H&R. omg he could have missed out on 2000 dollars. TAC is cheap and my dad pinches his pennies but he told me that he didn’t mind paying H&R fees because they helped him get a MUCH bigger tax refund than TAC did. my dad actually has to correct the taxes that tac did last year. ughs i’m never going to get my financial aid :’(
lol either take my word for it or not. not like i care about people’s finances. i had to write this review after they were douchebags to my dear old dad.
