H&R Block

Since my first job decades ago, my high school friend has done my taxes. However, about a year ago he started a family and I guess he is too busy to help with other peoples taxes. I didn’t know where to turn so I tried H&R Block .
H&R Block has Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Master Tax Preparers. Level 1 service basic income tax preparation, Level 2 if you have investments, and Level 3 if you a small business. Since I operate as an independent contractor, I needed a level 3 or higher tax preparation services. I selected the master tax person.
I had an 11 o’clock appointment and arrived about 10 minutes early. Shortly after 11 she came out to meet me to tell me that she was running about 15 minutes late. I asked if I should reschedule and she said it would be no problem. I had about a 6 basic questions to ask so I thought it would be a 15 to 20 minutes session. It took the full 45 minutes because she had to look up the answers for each question which was not very confidence building for a Master Tax Preparer with 20+ years experience.
The redeeming factor is that H&R Block does not charge for any consultation services. You only pay if you are fully satisfied with the tax preparation. They will even do your taxes for you and if you choose not to take the taxes, there is absolutely no charge.
My tax preparation would have been around $ 300 but she could not give me an accurate figure. I left but a few hours later I returned to pick my taxes and go to a family friend who is a CPA. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the services of H&R Block.

Time to do the taxes. Its my 3^rd year with this store. I recommend this one to all. :)
