I have been stressing out over my 2018 taxes way before 2018 was even over. LOL.. It was my first…read moreyear of electing as an S-Corp. Majority of my income was coming in under my business with no taxes being deducted so I knew I had to pay. I was pretty sure i was going to owe like 10k :( .. I chose OG bc of the great reviews (thanks yelp!) Before going in I was actually nervous and a bit ashamed bc as an adult I have know idea about taxes yet I decided to elect as an S-Corp lol. Then I finally came in & was seen by Eli. Here are some highlights of my experience: Eli is very knowledgable and is able to explain everything easily so that people like me who feel like taxes are a foreign language can understand. I came in assuming I was going to owe so much bc I had no idea what I was doing or how taxes even worked.. but Eli answered all of my questions with patience even though I know I was probably asking the same question over & over lol. Now for 2019 I will not be stressed! Eli also shed some light on things I had no idea about like how putting money in an IRA can really help to save on how much I owe in taxes, and how I need to go ahead & pay estimated taxes twice a year, and other business related matters that as business owner i needed to know & did NOT beforehand. Before your appointment they give you this great "tax planner".. it pretty much lists out everything that you can & should be writing off on your taxes & allows you to put in the totals. This was so helpful.. it really helps you organize everything. I called with a question & was quickly directed to Eli which was nice bc I thought I was going to have to email or wait for a call back, etc.. Jane at the front desk is also very helpful, polite & accommodating. Overall, I highly recommend. Especially if you have no idea what you're doing bc I know I cant be the only one. I left feeling so much better & at ease after it was all over.

(I had called my regular tax folks and they said they were going home at 2pm on a Saturday.) I politely asked the woman who answered the phone if they might be able to help me fill out 1 form today. I have the numbers that need to be input but I don't know what I'm doing. Anyway, the woman who answered the phone at Metro Tax Group took great umbrage at me calling to see if they could help. She raised her voice and said something like, "You want US to help YOU when we have all of our own clients to help!?" She could have just said calmly, "Unfortunately we're fully booked right now with our regular clients." It's okay - she saved me from lot of stress and agita from working with them.

On my own volition, I feel compelled to sing the praises of this Charles Schwab Forest Hills…read morebranch. After meeting David at the office, I was immediately impressed with his knowledge and anything but haughty manner upon sharing. You never feel as if you are receiving unsolicited advice with the purpose of benefitting one family at the expense of another, namely my own. He has a human touch about him and never made promises he could not keep although his indefatigable efforts always surpassed my uncompromising expectations. David has superlative listening skills and is never opportunistic or pushy in his business dealings. After fully appreciating my financial needs and personal tolerances, David seamlessly facilitated communication with William, another gem of a person and experienced specialist. Speaking to him was also a revealing pleasure as I did not feel judged and always learned new aspects of investing that were never imposed. Some people have the uncanny ability to translate complexities into practical implementation while details remain intact. Unlike competitors who are not as transparent, Charles Schwab reminds you of pending bond expirations, for example, so you can calmly decide what your next steps can entail. In the interim, you do not feel like a fixed entity in a barracuda laden sea whose waves are violently engendered by the proverbially perennial "hard sell.". Aa Sinatra once acclaimed by way of his art form, "Regrets I've had a few." While I regret not associating myself with this fine establishment before, I sense my best experiences characterized by the team's steadfast intelligence and moral rectitude await. A company is as valuable as the fine employees whose ethics embody how wealth is measured in human terms. These two lovely gentlemen are quintessential professionals who make me feel consummately comfortable.

Secondly why didn't you first tell me the additional terms and than proceed to deny my application for the credit and than try and bait me into a co-signer for a loan I don't want? Honestly this credit union is good for depositing petty cash into a savings account. Anything else not so much and forget about trying to build your credit back up with their so called security credit repair cards. Again you will need a large deposit to at least have the credit card for a year to even consider getting a unsecured credit card. He rep I spoke to was even more unhelpful Jose and didn't properly explain all options till after I said this was a waste of time and money. What is the point of using a credit union when you can't utilize it unless you have at least 10,000 in your credit union's account. Be wary when dealing with this credit union they also keep sensitive documents on file for up to 2 years.

I immediately notice a difference. They are eager to help with anything you need, over the phone or in person. Bankers that care about you like fellow members of the community. And as a part of the co-op ATM network, there are ATMs you can access for free literally everywhere - more than with the big banks. In full disclosure, I have more experience with the Bed-Stuy DeKalb Ave location, but I have never experienced anything like what some of the bad reviews suggest. If you want to take those reviews seriously, go to the DeKalb location, but don't write off this wonderful community bank. Also, one of the reviews from 2016 says they don't offer mobile check deposits. They do now! And I've never experienced a check taking longer than 2 days to post. They've definitely made improvements!

Have been coming here for a few years now. I think started in 2024. Previous years from about 2019…read moreuntil 2024 I filed my own taxes. However, after getting married and having a baby, I now file jointly with my husband so it's easier to see a preparer than do it myself. My husband and his family have been clients for longer. We see Lorena for our tax preparations. She's super sweet and kind, and gets our taxes done in 15-20 minutes. Waiting to pay for check out is longer than the wait to be seen sometimes. We've been lucky and have gone during less busy times so we've been in and out in about 90 minutes. There's always a wait of course, the sitting area is comfortable enough as I always just bring a book to read so that we can listen for our names to be called. When arriving you write your name down on the clipboard, you can also write down the preparer you would like to see. If you see Renan Sr., or his son Renan Jr. then your wait time will likely be quite long as they are obviously the most popular and typically deal with heavier tax preparations like business taxes. Everyone here has always been professional, both in appearance and mannerisms. There's also a bathroom available nearby that's quite clean. You just need to grab the bathroom key from the front table. For my fellow drivers: parking around this area can be difficult. There are metered spots right outside on the street that it faces but those are sometimes unavailable so give yourself some time because you might need to circle or park a block or two away. The cost of tax prep with them is also laid out clearly all over the office. The transparency is appreciated and if you're confused they will gladly break it down for you. You can pay in cash or through Zelle which is our go to option. I highly recommend Mazorra Business services for your tax preparation needs. Whether you're in need of business tax preparations or individual, I find this business to be professional and easy to work with.

I even arrived about 30 minutes before opening and was able to be the first one helped, which made the whole process quick and easy. I was helped by Renan Jr., Kevin, and Renan Jr.'s mom -- and all three of them were amazing. They were kind, professional, and you could really see how well they work together as a team. The whole process felt organized and stress-free. Renan Jr. took the time to go over everything with me, making sure I understood it all clearly, which I really appreciated. Kevin was also great to work with, and you can tell they both care about their clients. His mom helped with the final steps, handling the signing and payment, and she was so warm and welcoming. I especially appreciated how understanding and compassionate they were about the recent passing of my father. That meant more to me than I can put into words. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place that's not only efficient but also genuinely cares about their clients.
