Insider Pages Reviews for H&R Block
We have taken our taxess there for years.
Although they are high in price, and they promise to get your return back quickly, they usually make us wait a while.
They appear to be honest and curtious.
We just do a short form, and it is quick and easy.
We don't usually get the same person, and we have not been called for a audit since we have gone there.
We usually get a small refund from them.
They explain thing like you can donate to the wildlife, on your taxes. Which is nice. Expecially when you get to see more birds and wildlife around your house.
PROS: fast and curtious
CONS: high in cost

I had taken my tax papers to H and R block for about four years and I never receive much money back and I always end up paying over one hundred dollars. I finally started taking my taxes to someone else and I started getting thousands of dollars back. I wouldn't us H and B block as my first choice.

I have gone to this H & R Block for the past few years, and I have been very happy with the service and with the tax preparer. They are knowledgeable, curtious and friendly. I have had to take my kids with me and they were very nice about that as well. They offer many other services besides tax preparation. If you are looking for a great place to get your taxes prepared, I highly recommend this H & R Block.
