The One-Visit Planner · El planificador
Una sola visita. One visit, every errand.
Most offices sell one errand at a time. Here, the errands stack: tell us everything you need done and we assemble it into a single appointment — stops in counter order, one bring-list, nothing duplicated. Díganos todo lo que necesita hacer y lo reunimos en una sola cita.
What do you need done?
Your visit, in counter order
- Tap everything you need done — we'll stack it into one appointment, in the order it happens at the counter.
One bring-list for the whole visit
- Your list builds itself as you choose.
Todo en una visita.
One appointment covers all of it. Call to book yours — we'll confirm your list on the call.
The ITIN Desk
Your originals never go in the mail.
An ITIN application normally asks you to send your passport or birth certificate to the IRS and wait. At this counter, you don’t. Daniel Tafoya Tovar is a Certifying Acceptance Agent — listed by the IRS for California — which means he authenticates your identity documents in the office, in front of you, and your originals go home with you.
- New ITIN applications — prepared and filed with authentication done here.
- ITIN renewals — renewed before they hold up your return, for you and your family.
- The whole household — spouses and dependents’ ITINs handled in the same visit as your taxes.
“We’ll help you get your ITIN numbers, hassle-free.” — Daniel Tafoya Tovar

Meet Daniel · La familia

Daniel Tafoya Tovar has prepared taxes for more than 17 years, and built this practice around the families other offices make run in circles: one household might need a return filed, an ITIN renewed, a document translated, and a form notarized — here, that is one visit.
The standard on the wall is the one on his flyer: honest, precise, and secure service — servicio honesto y seguro — in whichever language your family thinks in.

Questions, Answered Straight
Before you call. Antes de llamar.
Do I have to mail my original documents to the IRS for an ITIN?
No — and that is exactly why this office exists. Daniel is a Certifying Acceptance Agent: he authenticates your identity documents right here in the office, so your passport and originals stay in your hands instead of going into an envelope to the IRS. In his words: "We'll help you get your ITIN numbers, hassle-free."
My ITIN expired — or my family's did. What do we do?
Renew it before you file, so your return is not delayed. Bring your IRS ITIN letter (CP 565) if you have it, plus your identity documents — we authenticate them in-office, the same as a new application. If you are not sure whose ITIN in the household needs renewing, call us and we will sort it out with you.
¿Hablan español?
Sí. Every service at this counter is offered in English and Spanish — taxes, ITINs, translations, notarization, and paperwork — and the whole visit can run in Spanish from the first call. Sí, hablamos español: su cita completa puede ser en español.
What should I bring to my appointment?
It depends on your errands, and the bring-list merges — one document often covers two stops. A photo ID and your prior-year return cover most tax visits; a passport covers ITIN authentication and can serve as the source document for a translation. Use the One-Visit Planner above to build your exact list, or call and we will confirm it with you.
Can I really pay $0 at the counter for my tax preparation?
Yes, through a Refund Transfer with Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (TPG): instead of paying your preparation fee at the counter, it is paid from your refund. Refund Transfers are deposit products offered through Civista Bank, Member FDIC — they are not loans — and fees and terms apply. We will walk you through the terms before you choose it; paying at the counter is always an option too.
Can you help with my green card renewal or citizenship application?
Yes — we help you prepare and file green card renewal and citizenship applications, and we can translate and notarize the documents around them, all in the same visit. One honesty line: we are a tax and paperwork practice, not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice. If your situation needs an attorney, we will tell you plainly.
How do I book? Do you take walk-ins?
We work by appointment only, so your visit gets the time it deserves. Call the office at (909) 356-4018 or Daniel's cell at (909) 728-9026 to book — tell us everything you need done, and we will stack it into one appointment.
