6 month follow-up update…read more. I know you may have been waiting with bated breath, so I'll try my best to keep this short. After 20+ additional emails (between both parties), we were finally able to receive our federal and state abatements from 2024. While this is good news and we are pleased with the outcome, it does not negate the unpleasant experience. After the last review, they took note and designated someone to call the IRS on our behalf, instead of repeatedly sending papers in the mail that the IRS would never receive. After receiving the federal abatement, we then had to ask them to help with the state abatement. In case you aren't aware (since I was initially not educated on this matter), you are allowed a 1-time federal and state abatement. Meaning, if you are in good standing, they will erase your fines, but not the interest. Some additional notes: 1. They are a global team, as their new name implies (Unified Global). This means that your team may be located in various time zones and countries. 2. Their software is straightforward and simple to follow, which I did appreciate. 3. Their timelines for filing, in my opinion, do not include a sufficient buffer if you have additional questions and/or corrections. We were asked several times to remove the last review, and after some thought, I have chosen to amend it. Similar to prior Yelpers, I believe that it they have improved their services, my initial review will just be background noise as the one off.

Thank you so much Yan!

I had a bunch of issues with my previous CPA that I had engaged which that left me with little…read moreconfidence and time that I would get my tax situation sorted out in time for the year. Since I had only been using TurboTax before, I didn't have much experience in working with professional tax advisors and I contacted Yan after reading some reviews on Google/Yelp. The experience of using her for my CPA was completely different compared to the previous one I had. She was very detailed and meticulous in checking each detail of my situation, and also didn't pretend to know everything - if there was an issue that she wasn't clear about, she didn't hesitate to look up the necessary IRS documentation to make sure that we weren't making any mistakes. Even after our meetings in-person going over documents, she would also follow-up and double-check to make sure that I hadn't inadvertently overlooked something (and she did find a bunch of details that I had filled in incorrectly as well through this process!) She was also more interested in making sure that I understood the process and what each document was for, rather than just taking everything into her own hands and just asking me to "rubber-stamp" documents. I really appreciate her spending the effort to help with my tax literacy. Would definitely recommend Yan if you're looking for a reliable CPA who looks out for your interests, rather than just treating you as yet another client!

I've not had great experiences working with CPAs in the past but Belinda came recommended via a colleague. Belinda is obviously doing well because her calendar was pretty full when we booked but we managed to find a slot in at the end of March. I'm glad we found some time with her because she's been the most professional and organised CPA we've worked with! What was good about the experience? + Data entry done well ahead of time, so our appointment was very time efficient + Belinda is very responsive to our questions + We didn't find a single error in our tax return - which unfortunately hasn't been true with other CPAs - She quickly identified overpaid tax in our 2019 return, which resulted in a nice refund We'll definitely work with Belinda again in coming years!

Terrible service at this Fidelity office. I requested tax documents for my 88 year-old mother who…read morehas eyesight issues and is not computer savvy to obtain them online. I requested to come in with her into the branch to pick them up. I was surprised when the person whom we spoke Rysheim H. alleged Fidelity does not make copies of tax forms for customers.

My conclusion is this office on N 1st St, San Jose is incompetent, and will make any excuse to not work for their customers. Fidelity, if you're reading this, shut down this branch as it does not serve the local community.
