After sending multiple emails and my information, her assistant emailed a week later saying they have no more availability and can't help us. It was unprofessional to say they would provide a quote for services, request my information only to say they refuse the work. It was bizarre. Don't recommend.

I had my taxes prepared at this H&R Block location for several years by Arfa Siddiqui, EA, an…read moreEnrolled Agent. I later hired a CPA to review my prior returns, and the CPA identified significant errors in returns prepared by this EA that resulted in me receiving substantial tax overpayments. I implore you to double check your taxes from the last 2-3 years as the IRS has a statute that errors can only be corrected going back 2-3 years for you to qualify for a refund of money you are owed. So if this HR Block made errors in years prior to that, you are not going to be able to recover that money. So please check your returns to make sure you received all the federal and state tax returns you are owed and make sure your returns were completed correctly. After correcting the affected returns, I am receiving MORE THAN $25,000 back in combined federal and California tax refunds including more than $20,000 from the IRS alone due to inaccurately calculated estimated tax payments b/c some of the regulations that indicated those taxes did not apply to me were simply overlooked. THESE ARE NOT TYPOS. You are correctly reading TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND Dollars (USD), including more than TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS from the IRS alone. That is an absolutely positively EXTRAORDINARY amount of hard-earned AFTER-TAX money to have unnecessarily tied up because of tax-preparation errors. It was money I could have used for household bills and expenses saved, invested, earned interest on, or otherwise put to productive use. For an individual or family living with tighter finances, errors involving this amount of money could have caused very serious financial hardship. H&R Block ultimately refunded the tax-preparation fees I paid for two of the years in which the errors occurred. I appreciate that the company provided those refunds per their tax return accuracy guarantee which was honored. However, refunding the preparation fees does not erase the underlying problem or compensate for having tens of thousands of dollars unnecessarily tied up in tax overpayments for years. What I found particularly troubling was Arfa Siddiqui's response--or lack of one--after these problems came to light. I received NO apology from the EA, no expression of remorse, and no meaningful acknowledgment of the financial impact these errors had on me. Given the magnitude of the errors, I found that response extremely disappointing, discourteous, unprofessional and downright rude and insulting. Professionals can make mistakes. What matters afterward is accountability. When errors in professionally prepared tax returns result in a client overpaying tens of thousands of dollars, I believe an acknowledgment of what happened and a sincere apology are the very bare minimum. In my view, the magnitude of these errors represented an unacceptable failure in the level of care I expected from an Enrolled Agent preparing my tax returns. I am fortunate that another CPA identified the problems and helped correct the affected returns. Based on my experience, I would avoid actively Arfa Siddiqui or this H&R Block location again for tax preparation, and I would strongly encourage clients to carefully review their returns and consider obtaining an independent professional review if they have concerns about previously prepared returns. Arfa Siddiqui's profile says "22 years of experience as an H&R Block tax pro." This is absolutely not what I would expect from someone with that kind of experience. She blamed it on the HR Block software. When I said "I count on you to find errors," she did not acknowledge or apologize and actually laughed it off. This is not an unserious matter. I strongly recommend finding a CPA instead. It is worth the additional cost for the sake of accuracy. And again, make sure your taxes were filed properly for the last few years and that you received all of the tax return money from the government that you are owed. Please avoid Arfa Siddiqui for the sake of your and your family's finances.

This organization takes no accountability for their own mistakes when preparing your taxes. We…read moreincurred a state bill for a mistake made by this accountant yet he decided to blame my wife and call her entitled in a very long and unprofessional email. In that email, he also accused us of not paying him for his services, which we paid in May and have a copy of the check he deposited. Rich Nitzkowski takes no responsibility and passes blame without research. Moreover, the owner, Rich Nitzkowski had the audacity to state that a prior lawsuit we were involved in was arbitrary and that he thought we would sue him if he didn't pay the bill to the state tax board. For context, I am a 100% service connected vet with PTSD and have an internationally certified service animal. The lawsuit was an Americans with disability act lawsuit in which I was denied rideshare transportation because of a service animal. Shame on Rich for considering that arbitrary.
