H&R Block

I went here for filing my taxes and as a foreign national my tax situation was quite uncommon. Despite this, I felt like I was assisted professionally by a knowledgeable advisor, Joe Colina. He informed me that I needed to file paper, as in my situation the IRS doesn’t allow to file electronically. Mr. Joe Colina prepared my tax returns and I walked out very satisfied, with two envelopes containing my returns in my hand and ready to send. Okay, so why one star? When I got home I reviewed my copies of the tax forms and found a form that should have been put in the envelopes (Mr. Colina himself had said that previously, plus the form was labeled ‘attach to tax return’, so no doubt about that). Alarmed, I looked inside the envelopes to check if there was a copy of that form, and there wasn’t. At that point I realized that Mr. Colina had simply forgotten to attach it in the envelopes he prepared for me. Luckily, I was savvy enough to check the paperwork and spot the mistake. But after having paid $ 242 for preparing my taxes to Mr. Colina, I felt extremely disappointed to say the least. Because of this critical oversight, I wouldn’t trust or recommend this business to anyone.

I have been going to Joe Rizzo ever since I met him at H&R Block for my first apt at that location 2 or 3 years ago. He’s super nice and super professional. He’s very smart and knows what he’s doing. He makes the whole tax process simple, quick and painless. :) Just made an apt to see him again this year.

I just moved from out of state. I used to have family do my taxes back home with good results. I checked around Unilocal for a decent place to do my taxes, and noticed great, albeit old, review for Joe Rizzo. So i called and made an appointment. I was seen the same day. My tax situation looked bleak, due to my dual state W2’s, a 403b issue, but Joe stuck with me for over an hour and seriously had my best interests at heart. He told me straight, what needed to be done, whether good or bad news, and I appreciated that. He told me how and why he did the things he did, and really reminded me of family. I received emails the next day saying the government accepted my return, and even a call Today letting me know that if I needed anything, to come back and see Joe. Again, I know the past reviews were old so i wanted to give Joe a shot and am very glad I did so. I have already recommended him to countless friends here in SD and will be happy to see him again next year.

Just meet with Joe Rizzo for the 4^th year in a row and I would use no one else! Joe is extremely knowledgable in tax laws and has been in the this profession since 1955 (as I saw on his name-​tag today)! Joe is friendly and willing to try multiple options to find the best deal for his customers. I used to hate tax time but Joe makes this time of year such an pleasant experience and continually finds honest ways to put money back in my pocket! Now all three of my daughters and son in laws (even from different cities and states) are asking for JOE RIZZO to do their taxes!

Tax time is here! And even tho we never have to pay at tax time its still not fun! I googled an H and R Block but it turned out to be out of my neighborhood, so the nice lady on the phone recommended this location and said to ask for Joe! Long story short made an appt for the next day with Joe, he was AWESOME! Friendly guy who made this process quick and easy! Thanks!
