H&R Block

Worst experience ever. NO ONE knows what they are doing! I told them what to fill in and they tried charging me $ 260 for their «services.» The woman helping me apparently NEVER has had a college student as a client so she was unfamiliar with which form she was filling out for me. After TWO HOURS of being there, she told me my refund was $ 130. Her manager came over and told me that H&R employees are just as qualified as a CPA. BIGGEST JOKE EVER especially because CPAs have COLLEGE DEGREES. I refused to do business with them, took my papers, and went home. I did my taxes on TurboTax MYSELF and just received my $ 1,800. THANK GOODNESS I LEFT THAT AWFUL PLACE.

We have been filing taxes here for 3 years now. Very easy to get appointments and the staff is all friendly. We have 2 little ones, of which 1 is in the run around and scream stage, and they promptly gave him a coloring book and crayons to make him happy. They went over everything very thoroughly and got me over a thousand dollars more than I had anticipated. It was somewhat expensive, however I saved more than I paid so that’s OK.
Overall very satisfied, advice to the location, thanks for the free coffee, but have regular available in addition to decaf.

We got in the same day we requested an after work appointment. The counselor was efficient and helpful. It was really expensive, though! ~$ 280 to file for a joint married couple who has lived in two states this past year. We really needed the help because of our new marriage status and multiple states in the past year so I’m glad we did it, but we’ll stick to the free Turbo Tax in the future if we can.

Went in here and went to Neil. Had the exact same salary and deductions as last year… and the 2 years prior and somehow my refund was half of what I was receiving all these years. The Manager of the store whom I spoke with as well didnt help at all and was not remotely concerned about calling me back ni to check over and see if there was any sort of error. I do not recommend this place at all unless you want to receive less then deserved.

H&R Block is horrible at preparing taxes.
I had my initial 2008 taxes done in Irving Park by a Mirzeta. She kept going back to the supervisor to ask how to complete the forms. I helped her in how to complete some sections. My confidence was shaken, to say the least. Comments such as «we have to put something in the box» and «I’ve never seen this before» were signals that I should have just walked out. Lesson learned, but I did purchase the «peace of mind insurance.»
I knew she missed items, so I took the return to another HRB office on Western Ave for a second look (free since they messed up the1st one). They found several errors. Submitted an amended return for an additional ~$ 600 refund. All good… so I thought.
July 28, 2009, I get a notice in the mail from a state I didn’t work in in 2008 of back taxes! I called this state and they said a return was filed?! I called HR Block 800# and they open a ticket. I get a call in a couple days and then they direct me to go into an office for assistance; however the address they gave me was wrong. 4010 W. Warren vs 4010 W North.
Wow — I recommend you skip this company in general as they aren’t really on the ball.
