Bells Tax Service

Feb 2024

It is "Update" time... Seeing as how I submitted my tax packet to Ms. Linda Bell via the USPS mailing system and seeing as how she just received it; mere days afterward, she confirmed for me that it did indeed make it into her business safe & sound. Whew! What a relief! 11+ years I have been having my Taxes correctly done by Bell's Tax Service! :) I see the last time I wrote and/or updated her Yelp Business Listing was in the year 2013; it is overdue for an update. Not too much if anything has changed... I find this comforting but when there are legal changes that the governments have inducted she lets me know right away. As far as the documents needed for Ms. Linda to be able to do what she needs to do to complete my IRS and State of California income-tax return; she always, always always gives me a ring and informs & explains it all. On the times when I do receive a 'refund,' she does so by electronic means which is great for me since I am in Turlock, California & her work-from-home business is in Modesto, California. Her office ALWAYS returns my call(s) promptly and even in the evening at times have I caught her on her way out and she either gets back to me the day after or she kindly screens my call personally, and directs me on how to proceed... The "backyard" landscape is super welcoming & all areas are CLEAN :) The neighborhood is old~school lined with extra-wide 2-lane residential driving & parking spaces coupled with VINTAGE! residential homes that many appear to have been renovated and are reminiscence of the early architecture of the Craftsman & Arts & Crafts Era... I feel like I've been transported backward into my childhood where I grew up with Vintage Real Estate, in the neighborhood of my German great-grandmother's Tudor~Style vintage era landscape. Located on Morse Street and I believe there is just the one "Morse Street" in this neighborhood. Yet I digress; sorry about that; sincerely... Here's what I really enjoy about Bell's Tax Service: 1.) English-speaking employees including Ms. Linda 2.) Quick turn-around-time from drop off or mailing in your docs; done ASAP and triaged by acuity & importance. 3.) Accepts electronic payments such as Venmo & More... 4.) Affordable rates 5.) She took my train-wreck of an income-tax situation due to divorce years ago and made sense of it guiding me gently like a boat in the ocean to the safe ground... She pampered me through not 1 but 2 divorces straight from the bowels of hell... Only she did and got my "Single" filing status back to me, due to due diligence and sheer force of her will... What a relief!!! :) 6.) In-person "pick-Up" of tax-return where I can pay on-site with a check or other acceptable means. 7.) Lastly.... THE MOST Peaceful & Quiet neighborhood of Vintage Homes that welcomes me each and every year with vintage, huge, healthy trees lining the pavement, keeps me calm as I become nervous about having to owe each year even though my income from a disability retirement annuity barely increases by $100 per annum from OPM, the Office of Personnel Management aka: MY previous federal government employer & still is; I'm a Whistleblower; on & "Off the Record". 8.) Lasty ((pinkie swear)), it's always "Service with A Genuine~Smile" from Ms. Linda & anyone working for her that I encounter.

My family and I have been coming to Bells Tax Service for years now and we have never had a bad experience. Linda Bell goes above and beyond for her clients. It's not easy to find someone who is willing to go the extra mile in this industry but Mrs. Bell and her staff do just that!
