Karol has been doing my taxes for so long that I can't remember when I started having her do them…read more The work she produces each and every year is top quality. If I have a tax question that I just HAVE TO HAVE answered, I call her. If she doesn't answer the phone, she will call me back the next day. There's no waiting around for an answer... she provides it. I don't bother worrying about tax cuts, etc. that I hear on the news because I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Karol will know what the latest laws are. I wouldn't dream of going to anybody else. Karol doesn't have to pay a mascot to twirl a sign dressed up like the Statue of Liberty to drum up business. Karol doesn't have to advertise on a billboard or on the radio or on your local TV station... her ethical and knowledgeable prowess speaks for her. (Although... I really like those mascots that twirl those boards...)

I am posting this review to warn prospective clients regarding my experience with Victor Martinez…read moreat Martinez Income Tax & Accounting in San Fernando. Victor failed to properly file my 2020 and 2021 tax returns as represented, resulting in substantial failure-to-file penalties and interest from the IRS. Despite repeated attempts to resolve the issue directly with his office over many months, the matter ultimately required formal legal action. On June 5, 2026, a court judgment was issued in my favor in Los Angeles County Small Claims Court (Case # 26CHSC00217, Chatsworth Courthouse) for professional negligence. Payment of the judgment was only fulfilled after executing a formal settlement agreement under the threat of Sheriff enforcement and bond claims. Taxpayers looking for reliable, accountable, and transparent tax preparation services should not work with this firm.

I was with this firm for years. How it ended is why I'm writing this…read more My LLC's 2024 California return had errors in the ownership percentages that threw off the PTE tax allocation. I found them, not him. I asked him to fix it, he amended the return, and then never sent me a copy of it. So the only 2024 return I ever had in hand showed an overpayment of about $3,600. The actual corrected number was about $1,400. When I brought on a new accountant, I gave him the outdated one, because it was the only one that existed as far as I knew. That wrong credit carried into the next year and I got a state notice for roughly $2,500 plus penalties and interest, all because of Sam's mistake. That's fine. People make mistakes. I raised the issue with Sam on June 6. To his credit he owned it at first. June 18 he wrote that he wasn't going to pass the blame and that he'd get the notices and cover the penalties and interest "as I always do for other clients." Then again on July 1: "I am willing to work for the notice to reduce the penalty. I will take the responsibility for that." Then he went quiet for a month. Emails ignored. Two messages left with his office, never returned once. Nothing filed. Penalties running on MY account the entire time. August 5 he finally wrote back, and only because I'd given him a deadline. Not to file anything. But instead to demand more money. He said: "I told you that the open invoice should be paid first. It is very clear. That is my condition." He would not file the abatement unless I first paid him $1,010. That invoice is its own story. He billed me for the 2024 tax return when it was originally completed, I paid it in full the day it came in. Months later he told me the number was wrong and said i need to pay more, on the same return work that had to get amended for his errors. I said no then and we both closed it. He dug it back up 17 months later to get out of something he'd already committed to twice in writing. I ended up filing with the FTB myself. So here's where I landed after years of paying this firm - Sam cares more about collecting every dollar he can than about doing the work or keeping his word. A few hundred dollars of his own mistake wasn't worth an hour of his time. $1,010 was worth two months of mine and lies. Get yourself an honest CPA with integrity. Sam, unfortunately, has shown that he is not that.
