H&R Block

Whew, next year I’ll be doing my taxes on my own.
H&R Block charged me some very high fees, which I didn’t know about until the return was almost done. If you have anything other than a W2, beware! I had a temporary job last year that didn’t withhold taxes and I was charged about $ 100 extra for them to fill out that form… on the computer… which took about 5 minutes.
I also didn’t get the greatest feeling about the expertise of the folks there– they didn’t know how to account for some credits for which I was eligible. It took about an hour and a half for them to enter a bunch of data with not much expertise to back it up.

This year I got really pissed off when I was doing my taxes. It seemed for some reason more difficult than usual when doing it by hand. So I switched to using Turbo Tax. Even though you just have to click it was still time consuming and confusing. So last resort I decided to drop in H & R.
It was felt really naked and bare in there, like a bad secretary of state office. When I finally got someone to help me it too forever for him to punch my information into the computer to give me a quote as to how much the services would cost me. I was kind of in shock, he was as slow as I was navigating Turbo Tax. By the time he gave me the quote I was also shocked by the price.
I decided to leave and go home and do it the old way by hand. At least it was free and a hell of a lot faster. I think you should just do it yourself or have a personal accountant.
