Kern Tax Service has done my taxes for the past few years and it was a wonderful experience. I just got my tax paperwork organizer in the mail from them , which is always a big help to me . It was such a smooth and simple process, making tax time much less stressful. I simply dropped off my documents and got a call when they were ready for pickup. The staff was very professional and the office was clean and inviting. I recommend Kern Tax Service to anyone who needs their taxes done!

I had been getting my taxes done by another company and always had to pay no matter what I did. I was encouraged by a friend to change companies. I found Kern Tax Service here on Yelp and called for info.
I was told to come in and get a packet and drop it off when I had gathered my documents. I was told appointments would not be face to face, but over the phone. Fine by me.
Dropped everything off. Within two days, I got a phone message detailing my refunds and documents to sign via DocuSign.
So smooth. So easy. Pleasant people to work with. I will definitely use them again!

This team is great! This year has been beyond crazy and before we knew it, we were in March. We called the team expecting to hear that they were slammed and that they did not have any appointment available. Not the case, they were able to get us in, complete and file our taxes. We have worked with KTS in the past and every year it’s the same outstanding service. I recommend them to everyone I talk too, to include you if your reading this.

Kern Tax Service can be relied on for professional results done in a very timely manner. After having used a well advertised, multi office national tax service for several years, we decided to go to Kern Tax Service, and were very pleased with the one-on-one service that we received. Supporting small-business and receiving five star care is a win-win situation.

Best tax prep experience! It was easy to make an appointment, no waiting, within 45-minutes our taxes were done, signed and we were on our way. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff in a clean and professional environment. An experience like this takes some of the pain out of having your taxes done. Oh, and the cookies are a nice touch!

Sherrie has done a brilliant job with my taxes for the last 3 years. Do to her experience and vast knowledge base, she is able to to do them right the first time! She makes the process simple stupid for me, I don't ever worry about anything. She mails a packet to me that is already filled out, I just sign it and drop it off and that's it! My refund is always timely. Best service and personal care of all my paper work! Thank you, Sherrie & the staff at Kern Tax, another painless tax return, always starts my year off right!

I've been using Kern Tax Service for my taxes for 7+ years. Sherrie is excellent at what she does. Always professional, always gives me the best tax advice. And her office is beautiful and inviting. I've also used her other services as well, a virtual office, that gives me and my business the option of having a professional office to go to without all the expense. I can't recommend Kern Tax Service high enough! Great service, great people!

After the normal tax place I go to decided to raise their prices through the roof I decided to look for someone new. I've driven past this place everyday for years and I figured I'd check it out, it looked nice from the outside. I was surprised at how nice the place is and how friendly they were. It helps that they have coffee and cookies too! Sherrie is the one who prepared them and she was awesome. She asked me questions that no other tax preparer asked. I didn't know I could write off my van-pool payments and other work related expenses. I ended up getting more than I normally do which was AWESOME
