Block Advisors

I went to HR Block last year due to some intricate write offs. I was shocked by the price for my taxes, $ 468.00, but thought it better to be safe. This year, I went back only to find out that I no longer have these write offs and because I do not own a home I am filing the standard form with a schedule C. HR was going to charge me 469.00 to file my taxes this year! When I complained and said I felt I was being taken advantage of, they reduced their fee $ 100 to $ 369.00, really! Highway robbery! I even had to help with how to file my schedule C for my business, really? All the people I have asked pay no more than $ 300.00 who have homes, land, annuities, etc. Besides the fact that last year they said they would look over what was filed the previous year and see if I could get a better refund. Did they? No. I would not go to HR Block. There are many other qualified accounting firms that do not take advantage and overcharge.

Today I walked into HR Block to inquire about services. My husband already completed our taxes and we wanted to get a second opinion. Maybe they would catch a deduction that was overlooked. She said that she could only review it after it is filed and not before. She explained that they do not have a FEE schedule for looking over taxes. I was shocked and disappointed and politely excused myself. They advertise on this Unilocal page …“no matter what stage you are in…” Hm. The office lacked any customers and I was so surprised that she let business walk right out the door.
