I spoke to Niki and asked specific questions to test her competency. I asked if I could do this and…read moreshe said ok. As far as I'm concerned,she failed miserably. I do not recommend her if you need someone who really knows the intricacies of taxes. I also asked if there are any differences between an EA and CPA and her response was that both can do exactly the same things. My specific question was if I want to make absolutely sure that I am not hit with penalties, what is the sure way of doing that. I told her my assumptions was both my wife and I are retired and no W2 and AGI of over $150,000. She spoke of things but not what I was looking for which was the Safe-harbor rule of making estimated taxes of 110% of last year'sl AGI. The things she mentioned were not going to protect me of penalties. The following is my response to your response. I have given you ALL relevant information to determine safe harbor amount. I interviewed another accounting professional (CPA) and gave the same information that I gave you. First response was safe harbor rule. Hopefully, this will help you in your work with your clients.

I found Jacobs & Jacobs after an online search of local accountants in Thousand Oaks. They had good…read morereviews so I decided to set up a consultation. They set up a phone call with Massimo to help me out with a financial issue related to stock options from my former employer. Massimo has always been an utmost professional - he has listened to all of my concerns, always offering honest and helpful advice. We were able to get my issues with the IRS sorted and we have come back since to continue filing our taxes with him. There was even a follow up bill related to the same issue mentioned before, and Massimo was able to spot an error the IRS made, cutting our amount owed in half! A couple quick notes: I was not paid for, nor did I receive any kind of discount in exchange for this review. I'm a real human and this is actually my firsthand experience! I say this because all these reviews start to sound the same and generally fake over time, but I am an actual real person! While Massimo did politely request I write a review, I was more than happy to (of my own volition), since he has been such a great resource. I'm glad to help more people learn of his excellent services!

I had been with MOTA for many years but left after my 2024 returns were completed. They did both a…read morebusiness return and a personal return. They are very pleasant people, but not easy to deal with. Additionally, they are expensive. They charged me $140 to produce a single 1099-MISC, that I supplied all information for! Their new system and their demands became too difficult to deal with. Their questions seemed like audit questions rather than tax questions. And questions they should've asked about my taxes, they NEVER asked. They assume you know what should be submitted to them, and don't ask you any questions about what wasn't submitted. For example, in 2024 with the Mountain Fire in my neighborhood they should've asked about catastrophic losses. They know my address and know I live in the middle of many houses that were burned to the ground. They should've asked but never did. Fortunately, the question was asked for my 2025 return. Lack of competence or lack of leadership? Not sure which, but glad I switched.
