Gotta Do My Taxes

Rod is the best ! I haven’t met him in person but he’s filed my taxes and i’m utilizing his services again this year, all handled via email/​phone. He’s affordable, always prompt in replying back to my emails. I work as a freelancer and have had moves which complicates things for me, but, he makes taxes easy. Totally recommended.

I love these guys. They have been doing my taxes for as long as I can remember. They are the absolute best!

Rod was fantastic. First time using a tax Preparer since we filed a W2 and a 1099. I chose Rod due to the great Unilocal reviews and was not disappointed. Great communication, very timely, and really helped us get our total amount due down as much as possible. His quote was by far the lowest out of anyone we contacted and he stuck to that estimate. Everything was handled via email so I never had to go into his office. I would highly recommend Rod to anyone and would definitely use him again. Thanks!

Rod and Ryan make doing taxes fun… This doesn’t even make sense… Even I don’t understand it… *shrug*

Don’t go anywhere else for your taxes! These guys are the best!!! So nice and they find deductions you wouldn’t even think to look!

Used Gotta Do My Taxes again this year and couldn’t be happier once again! With quick replies and solutions, taxes are not the headache I imagine them to be. Thank you so much for being professional, helpful, and all in all, the best!

Rod and Ryan are the BEST! Doing a stressful situation like taxes, it was great to have Rod and Ryan’s support.
Regardless of how much you make or owe, having Rod and Ryan professional, smart, and efficient service is and was great. I highly recommend Rod and Ryan. Trustworthy and always helpful and giving advise is something you need with taxes.
Thank you Rod and Ryan!

Rod and Ryan are great! They made my blood pressure go down and didn’t scalp me. Both guys are kind, funny and GOOD! They are the best part of tax time.

Highly suggest these guys for anyone, but especially for actors/​entertainment people. Rod and Ryan are very knowledgeable and are fairly priced. Excellent Excellent Excellent! I wish I would have used them years ago!

The least stressful tax returns ever!
Rod and Ryan were extremely friendly, helpful, efficient and professional when transitioning my taxes to California from another state. I needed my returns filed and registered ASAP for another transaction and they were completely available to get it done before my deadline.
They return emails and calls promptly and are always helpful with any questions you may have. Their appointments are scheduled respectfully and there is virtually no wait time.
I would highly recommend them!

What a RELIEF! Taxes are complete and I have a peace of mind. Rod and Ryan put PROFESSIONAL in professionalism. They made the process very EASY. The two work together so QUICKLY and are a JOY to work with. I RECCOMEND Gotta Do My Taxes to my friends, family and anyone that needs to do PERSONAL, BUSINESS or any other types of taxes.
THANK YOU — Rod and Ryan. Looking forward to 2015 filing!

Rod was the first tax professional I ever went to and will never go to anyone else! He and his associate really understand the entertainment industry and got me back more money then I have ever gotten in the past. He was also extremely accommodating when I needed help with a previous years returns that I had made mistakes on. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I got referred to Rod via a friend. I am glad I did! He gets the job done fast. I was in and out of his office in less than an hour! He is super nice and friendly. I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to taxes and I just let him do his thing and completely trusted he knows his stuff! Not only were the results great, but best of all, I was laughing and having a nice conversation with him at the same time. Funny, nice, smart guy. Definitely recommend him! Thanks Rod!

This was the perfect company to do my taxes — Rod is personable, knowledgable and very easy to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone!

They are lifesaver’s! Filing back taxes is scary. They made it not only easy, but fast and with much better results than I expected.
I’m actually going to be filing on time this year because they made it so painless!

I didn’t even know this was possible, but Rod and Ryan take all the anxiety out of taxes! My husband and I each put in a few hours of prep (Rod answered emails right away, even on a Sunday!), and our 90 minute meeting was filled with way more humor and way less math than one could ever expect from a tax preparer. Highly recommended!

My wife and I began working with Vito (Rod) about 4 or 5 years ago. Before being referred to him I had been fumbling through doing my own returns with TurboTax. He amended two of our previous tax years and got us enough money back for us to be able to get into our first home. A few years later and there is still no one I would trust more with my tax needs. We have been in the process of getting our second home and he has been extraordinarily helpful in getting our 2014 taxes processed and providing documentation to our lenders. We literally would not have gotten either home without his help and going the extra mile for us.
I am in the film industry, as are many of the other reviewers, but I honestly recommend Vito to every person who asks me what they should do with their taxes, regardless of their occupation. I will take my business to him as long as his doors are open, and if I open an LLC or Inc, I’ll be getting my taxes for those done by him as well.
I simply can’t imagine getting better service and more loyalty in a tax preparer for a fair and reasonable price. I am incredibly grateful to him for his amazing talent in this field.

Thank you Rod for helping my husband and I with our taxes. I can’t begin to tell everyone on Unilocal what a pleasure it is to have someone help with sorting out the dreaded taxes for the year. Rod and Ryan helped my hubby and I figure out the best plan of action filing as newly weds. Also Rod and Ryan wrre able to help me organize my business transactions and help with finding the right route to end the year with a smiling face. I highly recommend Rod to all!

I’ve been coming to see Rod for my taxes as long as I’ve been a working actor in LA for
many years. & he knows the in’s, and out’s to the business i’m in.
Plus, he takes care of my corporate tax as well.
Now, he’s a father, and running the show!!!
«I really love this guy»
«Responsible, prompt, courteous, precise, and did i mention smart?
When it comes to doing your taxes there nobody, i mean nobody better.

After having my taxes prepared by a partner in a high-​end NYC CPA firm, I was referred to Rod and immediately saw my tax obligation go down by half, and again by another half after following his advice. He also prepared amended returns for previous years for which I ended up getting quite a bit of money back.
He’s aggressive in claiming deductions, asking me numerous questions CPAs never did.
If you are self-​employed, a small business, in the arts, etc — this is the guy to go to. Period. I believe you’ll find that using a higher priced CPA does not necessarily mean you’re getting the best service. And Rod does it all with a very easy-​going, hand-​holding manner which eliminates most of the stress of the process.
