H&R Block

If I could leave 0 I would. I make an appointment here thinking I was doing the right thing and that this company was affordable. I am self employed and don’t make a lot of money but earn an honest living and work hard. But this company charged me $ 400.00 to do my taxes! I’ve never paid an accountant more than $ 150 in my life! The worse part is the fee kept on changing and when I asked the price upfront I got the answer «it depends»…no estimate. If I wasn’t already at the 14^th of April I won’t of paid. Also when I protested the cost and asked for a better rate, the accountant mentioned they have «allowances» and she had no more money to give. Why do they have allowances in the first place? Some people get great rates and some people like me get ripped off. She also wasn’t very knowledgable in general about taxes although she was nice enough. I feel sick in my stomach, I cried when I got home feeling so taken advantage of and disillusioned by a company that in its marketing seems to have your back. My advice: go to an independent small accountant.
