H&R Block

Pros: Tax knowledge; They can find additional write- offs you never knew existed
Cons: The fees; Not practical for those with simple returns and small refunds

When tax season hits in the early part of the year, many people procrastinate until the last minute to complete their tax returns. Some pull out the forms, start the coffee maker, and stay up all night on the final day before the deadline hits. Other ...

Pros: Professional tax assistance, convenient locations, various services.
Cons: Outrageous fees.

Before we go any further, I would like to offer one caveat: Those of you with complex tax situations might find the services of H & R Block useful. That is, if you don’t already have an accountant. H & R Block has been around for quite ...

Pros: A good tax-return-specialist that can guide and help find deductions without putting red-flags.
Cons: Some are better than others.

H&R Block is a tax return service. It also delves in mortgages, investments and more. I have never used them for anything more than tax returns and up until this year have used them for years. I am in a partnership so I have an accountant take care of ...

Pros: Hmmmm...nice folders.
Cons: Outrageous fees, inept employees.

I have been tortured this year when processing my tax return. I have been going to H & R Block for the last five years and understandably I wanted to save on their charges by filing my return myself on-line. However, after going to three ...

Pros: quick, e-refunds, easy-to-find offices
Cons: under-knowledgeable staff

I used to work for H&R Block. Of course, that was a few years ago, but it would seem that there are things that just don't change much.
At the time of my employment, I was part time and my duties varied. In addition to being the...

Pros: easy and quick tax filing, rapid refund
Cons: cost

It's tax time again!  And...I'm happy to say my taxes are done.  

For the past two years I have gone to H&R Block to have my taxes prepared and filed.  Last year was the first time I tried their tax service and I was very pleased with...

Pros: we got our refund back quickly
Cons: rude, incompetent help, very costly

Until this year, I'd done my family's taxes myself. It took me next to no time to do them and until last year I'd never made a mistake.

After last year's mistake (we ended up getting $200 more back than I'd figured) and the fact that this year...

Pros: efficient, got money back quickly, no audits, knowledgeable staff
Cons: pricing may be a bit high for more complicated returns

H & R Block is known throughout the country for tax preparation and is now beginning to branch out into investing and other things. Knowing this, I decided to take my taxes into a local office when my return got rather complicated. Starting fees for a ...

Pros: Great if you want a quick refund and have a simple return
Cons: Not for complicated taxes; feel like you're on a conveyor belt

H&R Block, truly, is the Wal-Mart of tax preparation. Why? The firm offers very generalized service and pushes sheer volume over customer service. And, the place has a reputation for appealing to lower income and working folks (that's not a slight -- I...

Pros: Nothing to brag about
Cons: unorganized, poor service

I would like to start by saying this is the first year my husband and I had our taxes prepared at H & R Block and were totally disappointed. We have always had our taxes done with them over the last six years and never had any problems.

...

Pros: fast service, they will back you up in an audit
Cons: You could do it yourself with a home computer

Financial information should not come from just anyone. Although anyone who can read a book or watch a movie can express an opinion, I feel that a review of a financial service requires a little more knowledge and expertise. Therefore, before you...

Pros: Personal Advisor
Cons: None

Like most people who are trying to find ways to increase the size of their investment portfolio I searched long and hard for the right company to invest my money with. I chose to invest with H&R Block because planning for my financial future, or...

Pros: Knowledgeable and friendly
Cons: Cost

I have been a customer of H & R Block since 1992. In the 10 years of service I have received from them I have never had a bad experience.

My husband and I went there to file our '98 taxes and the lady that helped us was very knowledgeable and...

Pros: Convenient
Cons: Incompetent

So, its tax time again. What to do? What to do? Everywhere you go you see H & R Block advertisements. They have many convenient locations. And, you don't have an accountant you can trust. So, who "yuh gonna" call? H & R Block? NOT SO...

Pros: Service, 100% satisfaction guarantee
Cons: You have to pay taxes.

I believe I am more qualified to rate H&R Block than anyone who has written a review on here. I will start by letting you know upfront that this is a biased opinion. I would not even review H & R Block if it were not for the negative reviews on...
