I was in a situation where multiple agencies were taking money out of my bank due to bad advice. Came here to get everything finance related cleaned up. Trustworthy as can be. Thank you!

They are fraud. Susan filed my taxes 2021 made a mistake and had me owe the IRS $15000 instead of the IRS paying me. Now in 2022 I found out I cant file electronic taxes because my identity is stollen, I have never had any issues with Taxes till I went to Temecula Valley Taxes now I have so many issues. Stay away

Suzanne is outstanding! She does my personal and business taxes and does my payroll as well. I would definitely recommend her for all those services.

I would recommend Suzanne to anyone. She has been doing my taxes for the last 15 years. What’s nice is when I go to make a big purchase I can call her to see what kind of an impact it will have on me at no charge. She is one of those people who really cares. Thanks Suzanne!

A really nice, welcoming professional office. All of the ladies are friendly, competent, reassuring and helpful! I felt a whole lot better when I left then when I first walked in - and that was just the consult! Also, a Business Card and pen I can ACTUALLY read the Phone Number!

Lonie & Hornback, Inc. prepared and submitted my tax returns (both state and federal) for fiscal year 2014 on March 16, 2015. After submission on the tax returns there was a balance owed of $1,415 for the federal return and $1,076 for the state return. On or around January 5, 2017, I received a certified letter from the IRS stating that the IRS was conducting an audit on my FY14 taxes, which resulted in an increase of $3,677.32 (including penalties and interest) for under paid taxes. The IRS was disallowing the foreign income tax credit on the FY14 return. (Note: Ken Lonie claimed the foreign earned income tax credit on my return even though I work for the Department of Defense. I was living overseas at the time so Ken Lonie thought it was applicable. This is what caused my tax return to get flagged and resulted in the audit.) I immediately contacted Lonie & Hornback to notify them of the audit as they prepared my taxes. The letter from the IRS stated that a response was required within 90 days. Ms. Cheryl Hornback (an associate of Lonie & Hornback) contacted the IRS auditor and requested an extension in order to investigate the audit. I was instructed by Lonie & Hornback not to pay anything to the IRS (including penalties or interest) until the investigation was completed. On February 3, 2017 I provided documentation to Ms. Hornback (as requested by the IRS). I sent an email on February 22, 2017 to Lonie & Hornback asking for the status of the audit and was told that all the required documents were faxed to the IRS agent. I did not hear anything back so again on March 13, 2017, I sent an email following up. I was told by Ms. Hornback on March 14, 2017 that the IRS is denying the foreign income credit. However, Ms. Hornback again told me that she "needed to look into this more because I want to make sure." On May 29, 2017 I sent another follow-up email to Ms. Hornback stating the following: "Can you please provide me with a status of your investigation?" I then received a phone call from Mr. Ken Lonie on or around June 5, 2017 stating that I had to pay the additional taxes. I reiterated that I did not feel I should be liable to pay the penalties and/or interest charges for the taxes that were prepared incorrectly. Mr. Lonie agreed and as a result mailed a check for $582.00. However, Mr. Lonie responded and stated that he is not responsible for the interest and that I needed to pay it. I responded and explained to him that I was instructed by his office to "not pay anything until the investigation was completed." I also reminded him that it took his office from January 2017 until June 2017 (approximately six months) to provide me a response and that that additional interest was accruing during this time. Ken Lonie was not at all helpful or responsive during the audit and as a CPA he should know the tax laws. He prepared my tax return incorrectly but did not want to accept it or take responsibility for it.

Ken Lonie and his associates have been my business and personal accountants since 1999. They have done an excellent job and have saved me money every tax season. I recommend them highly, especially if you own a complex business and require meticulous work.

Suzanne is amazing in the quality of service that she provides to my wife and I. She has been doing our personal and business taxes for the past 4 years and she never stops amazing me with her wealth of tax knowledge that she provides us when this stressful season of taxes comes around. Suzanne just puts us at ease because she is such a professional and expert at what she does. I highly recommend Temecula Valley Taxes to everyone.
