Mr. Knowledgeable VI | What are the advantages and disadvantages of getting your taxes done at H & R Block? |
I see a lot of commercials on television about H & R Block about getting your taxes done there. Although I have heard that H & R Block has a good reputation of doing your taxes and getting you a bigger refund check, I have never used their services.

If you have a fairly simple return, they'll most likely do a competent job if you don't want to tackle it yourself.
Many of their preparers are seasonal employees with fairly minimal training.
They aren't going to get you a bigger refund check. Unless someone makes a mistake, anyone doing your tax with the same info will get the same refund.
They aren't cheap. |

i like H & R block. I went yesterday and got our taxes done in 15 mins, only paid 140...and we are getting it into our account next friday...and we also are getting our stimulus refund shortly after. They also got us as much money as we could. I am happy with it! |

H & R Block has a extensive training program for thier preparers. Many of them have more than 69 hours of training per year for preparing taxes. Also many of their preparers have worked a long time and can help you to find deductions you might not have thought of. They also guarantee their services as well as having extending warranty programs. Many offices will E-File your return for free with the paid tax preparation.
The disadvantage would be that they cost more than some of the others out their competitors. I would call your local H & R Block offices and ask about thier fees and maybe ask around your friends and see who they use for their tax preparation. |

Not cheap. Level of expertise and experience of preparers vary. DON'T get rapid refund or any loan product as you are paying horrendous interest rates. Jackson Hewitt is # 2, very similar, but the company which first developed tax preparation software. Both have training programs for preparers and guarantee their work. |

They are BY FAR the most expensive tax service around. Think of it - someone has to pay for all the commercials. They know what they are doing, but with today's software, go to some non-chain accountant.
edit....
Looking at all the "thumbs down" votes, I think Block's mother has been checking out this question :^) |

They are very costly. Try to do it yourself first. Try completetax.com Work through it, If you can't do it, you don't have to pay. I think they charge about $30.00 for fed and $15 for state. H&R charges by the number of forms used@ |

I am a tax preparer. This is my 3rd season and I have had a lot of training, plus I run 2 tax blogs. I have done over 500 federal returns and I will stand behind every return I have prepared. I am honest and ethical. I might have made a mistake or 2, everyone does. And I do work for a chain.
Last season and this season, I have had clients complain about Block. I had one client who went to 2 different Blocks and was told at both that they could not do his return. He then went to another tax place and was told the same thing. He then came to me. I had his return done in 30 minutes. It was a easy return, in my eyes. Single, no dependents, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and the general sales tax deduction, because I'm in Florida. Though I pried, no other deductions. I have done returns that are much more difficult than his was.
I then did his sister's return. She brought in her 2006 return, done by Block, and they messed up on her depreciation of a building. Her return was difficult, but was done correctly on my part. I got her a couple of legit deductions that Block missed, and her refund was $1,000 higher this year than last. She will have to amend her 2004, 2005 and 2006 returns.
Based on what I have heard, I would not let them do my tax return. Remember, they had problems with their own taxes. |
