H&R Block

Went here to do my taxes. Thought they were did a good job. They then called a day later saying the had forgotten to file with the state. Ok, thanks for realizing your mistake. 10 days later, they hold my taxes hostage until I pay them again. For their mistake. Insulting. $ 700 because they can’t do their job. Don’t waste your time here

Did my taxes here last week. Staff really helped me out since i had never done my taxes before. They explained everything thoroughly and did basically all the work for me. They were really friendly and we were done in about 1hr and 30min. It was a little pricey, but they’re worth it (especially the audit protection). Will be back next year.

This was a total waste of my Saturday. I spent 2 ½ hours with a tax professional, only to be told when we were winding up, that the fee would exceed $ 600 — plus additional fees for amending after a late K-​1 from an investment became available. A fairly simple return for my minor child who had passive income would be more — how much more she wouldn’t say. As I told her, the guy I’d used for the past 28 years who just retired charged me $ 400 for everything, including the amended return. This is highway robbery. When I got a call from their office to find out when I wanted to come back to finalize the return, I told them that not only was I NOT coming back in, but they ought to pay me for my wasted time. I’m sure when all is said and done, between my return and my minor child’s, and the amendment for the K-​1 still not available, the fees would come out to over $ 1,000. Totally unacceptable.
The only thing that makes me feel better about the waste of my Saturday was that their tax preparer essentially wasted her time as well. And since time is money, at least it cost H&R Block their time and unrealized fees.
