Does anyone know how I can find the name and address of a top person with the accounting company HR Block?
After 20 years of never having a problem with HR Block I experienced a quite expensive and very unfair situation this year in NYC. I worked with the nicest woman who spent a lot of time preparing my 2007 return. As usual my taxes should be a very simple process with no real room for mistake. After submitting my tax return 6 weeks ago, paying off my bills with the return, I recently found out that my tax preparer made some very serious and multiple mistakes. After confronting the branch manager I found out that my tax preparer was a trainee and because I didn't purchase the "PEACE OF MIND" policy HR Block will not be responsible. How can an outfit like HR BLOCK use a trainee to practice their skills, and not not ask their customers if they are okay with it? At least these forms should have been looked over by someone advanced who is familiar with tax updates. After speaking with the branch manager and getting no where I am feelinging very betrayed and cheated. What would you do?

There is a concept in the market called "buyer beware":
H&R Block is a low cost tax preparer. They are very open about the fact that the people who they employee have no advanced training in tax law and are in fact using a question and answer tax software (just like turbo tax)

Unfortunately you took a risk as a means of saving money, they made an offer to sell you a guarantee and you elected not to take advantage of it. This is the same as when you go to any electronics store to buy a new tv and before you even get to pay for it you have to turn down the "service agreement" "Extended warrantee" and of course the "in home repair service"...well gee I paid for a TV it should work shouldn't it?

It sucks to get screwed over by something that had been so good for so long to you...but honestly there is nothing you can do. File an ammended return and move on.

They will still represent you if audited. Ultimatly you are responsible for your taxes though, so you should stick with the same preparer and ask how many years experiance they have doing it. I do think it was very unethical what they did and you may be able to complain to the better business people or to an industry watchdog if there is one.

Blocks accuracy guarantee is still in effect without the peace of mind guarantee. The basic guarantee is that the return is accurate or they pay penalties and interest and do a free amendment if necessary. They will not pay any taxes due which is your responsibility anyway. If you have been using block for so long how is it that you aren't using the same preparer each year and ended up with a first year right out of training class? You can go online to their site and most branches have a list of preparers and their qualifications. First years won't be up there because they have no qualifications yet. I would call the district office and request a refund of your tax prep fees. They may or may not give it to you.

StockTdr ignores the fact that H&R does give a basic guarantee with their preparation, the "peace of mind" is an extension of that. Possibly they're having this same problem at many sites - the various levels of guarantees were described on their site a month or two ago, but I don't see them now. And you might not have bought the extended warrantee with that TV he refers to, but a basic warrantee is included with the purchase.

Unfortunately Block has a lot of trainees, who have been through a basic course but don't really know what they're doing. Block also has some experienced, capable preparers, but that's not universal by any means.

Lets see, 6 weeks went by before you LOOKED at the tax return you signed? I wouldn't have left the office unless I'd at least looked at them.

Hate to tell you, all the tax outfits are like that. If you are lucky you will get someone who will have done it the previous year. Usually an experienced bookeeper or CPA checks over a return at an accounting office. You may just want to take your business elsewhere. Unfortunately, you are the only one who is responsible for your return even if a preparer puts it in the computer for you.
