H&R Block

I have had my taxes done by H&R block for the past ten years and they’ve always been pretty accurate. However, in the recent years they have up’d on their prices and its not really worth it to come here anymore. They have all these hidden fees that they don’t tell you about before hand and they push you to purchase what they call a «identity theft protection plan» and «peace of mind» plan for $ 40 and $ 30, totaling $ 70. They said theres a promo right now for $ 55 for both plans but after researching on line, theses plans really don’t benefit you always. Just another way to take money from you. I had my taxes done at this location, and the lady was very sweet and patient with me but she did not explain the cost upfront and why im even paying for the protection plan. She was not able to explain to me exactly what this «peace of mind» plan does or how it would benefit me. She just told me i needed it. I ended up paying $ 350 out of pocket total. so ill definitely look for a personal accountant from now on. I feel like they just charge you insane amount of money for even the most basic 1040s.

Binh (Benny) Nguyen presented as a highly knowledgable, thorough, and accurate tax preparer professional.
Around this time of year, the sheer thought of the tax deadline leaves me sweating bullets, and dreading the fact I may owe back taxes to the government. I appear extremely uncomfortable and anxious on the tax filers chair, squirming and feeling as though my stomachs churning, and possibly dry heaving lol.
Benny made my experience endurable. He had a positive attitude, and was hilarious. Although I did not receive a tax refund, he made this time of year tolerable and an enjoyable experience.
Highly recommend.

Tuan Huynh was awesome! He was very quick and informative from beginning to end.
He is labeled a tax master consultant and now I know why. I have been coming to H&R block for about three years but never to this location. I won’t lie I was a bit weary after reading the reviews, although I gave it a shot anyway.
I had set up an appointment for 8pm and we showed up early and he was already waiting for us. Great services for an affordable price. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a place to do your taxes.
Thanks again

I walked in and I found out within minutes that I had to pay federal taxes because my income has increased. Yes, I was deflated and humbled. Tai was so sweet, comforting and professional when she broke the news to me.
I sat there in shock and I was somewhat sad and we just talked… Small talk. She continued to apologize to me saying how much it hurts her to not be able to get my money– considering their slogan. I casually shared some personal information with her and MIRACULOUSLY within minutes she re-​did my taxes…,.and I’m getting back triple of what I had to pay in federal taxes! THANK YOU. I’m blessed!!! I’d like to thank God and Tai Bui! I recommend her and this office. I qualified to have my fee of $ 200.00 taken from my fat ass refund! 2014 is starting off right.

I came to this office around February. I was trying to do my taxes early. I used to do my taxes myself, but since I am now self-​employed I wanted to make sure I am getting all the deductions. So I came to the office with all my receipts. I wasn’t sure what I could deduct exactly since this was the first time I am filing as self-​employed.
Anyway, the first lady who helped me didn’t have that much experience, all she was doing was plugging in numbers and she didn’t even know what category she should file the type of work I was in. So she asked this other lady to help. The other lady kept asking me for the amounts that they needed to plug in. I told her I haven’t calculated everything since I wasn’t sure what exactly I can deduct. Then she started yelling at me and told me they cannot add up receipts and that I should add it myself. I told her I can add it myself if she tells me exactly what I can deduct. She said just estimate the amounts and come back when I finish adding everything up. She even said, self-​employed people will most likely get audited. Well I knew that for a fact, but she said it in a condescending manner as if I was doing something illegal. For the $ 300 they were going to charge me, I didn’t deserve the yelling and the attitude. I let the first lady finish plugging in numbers, but I didn’t come back. I should have said, «hey lady if people knew exactly what to do with their taxes, they wouldn’t come here in the first place and you would be out of a job.»
Yeah, I’m not coming back there. Not worth the $ 300. I just found another tax preparer who is charging me $ 100 and she even added up my receipts for me. Got me the maximum deductions and reduced my tax by at least $ 2000.

After the horrid experience last year at a different location… my bf and I went to the one off Santa Teresa and Snell, Dan? I think his name was FORGOT to submit the return. HOLY COW. I raised hell and vowed never to file my returns with H&R again.
So I give it another go, this time at a different H&R. I met with Vincente. He told me it was his first season doing returns but he was pretty knowledgable and was patient– I didn’t have a few pieces of info but he waited while I gathered all of the necessary info.
He finished my return quickly and asked me if I had any questions or if he were going to fast and needed to explain exactly what he was doing. He got me back more than last year and yet last year I had more itemized deductions.
If you’re laggin’ on your taxes like I was, see Vincente. He’ll get you in and out and money in your pocket.
