On 2 February 2023, my Federal tax return was filed with a local H&R Block office at 14346 Warwick Blvd, Newport News VA 23602. 00) and received a receipt for that payment. I discovered on 3 Feb that my credit card payment was approved, I paid twice for my tax preparation. 00.

I contacted H&R customer service and could not get any solution there. I paid twice for my tax service and will continue to try to get my refund.

Yes hi I attempted to file a amended return on my 2022 taxes when I went to do so the online website that I created told me that I had to pay for the deluxe package and order to e-file my amended return they have already charged my account and taken the money it is saying on there that I cannot e-file so therefore I want to get my money back so

I can take it to a tax office and have the tax expert here in Middletown go ahead and put it through for me but I need the money back that you guys took for me which should be plausible and seeing and how I haven't submitted the taxes yet because I do not want to get copies and send them in myself I would like it to be e-filed it is amendment to my 2022 taxes could somebody please get a hold of me because I cannot reach anybody anywhere

Tax pro was horrible , she was to busy telling me that my step daughter was not my child , so I stead of the 1500 , I received 500... I have filled her on my taxes in years previous ...

She also took it up on herself to come me as single instead of head of house hold again something that has been filed I. Years past... Every model I did , ( turbo tax 6300$ , Jackson hu,, 5760, and your own model 6100$..

I ended up with 3000.. Not to mention that she assured me my refund was immediate...

However I received 250$,, Your policies state max refund .. that did not happen , she cost me 3000$ which she argued with my spouse n myself about.. She was not professional at all. She opened our conversation by telling me I was wrong an that my step daughter was not my daughter... again not…

Taxes were not filed after 2 visits. Paid for peace of mind bundle with "cyber security". my payment info was given. But the payments were not submitted by my tax person who now no longer works there. I have to take my time and gas to go back to redo my payment process.

Because my tax preparer no longer works there. This is more time and gas money that I should not have to spend due to an employee who is no longer there.

Went in for question to see if I even had to file? Could they not just tell me since I'm on SS. NO had me sit down and go thru all the steps and then charge me $85. They have done taxes for years why would they not be helpful and honest) Please get back to me.

So they don't answer questions FREE

Today I stopped in just to ask question. I am on SS and was told I no longer have to file. Nicole at desk set me up with Emily Dong and she proceeded to file my form. I kept asking her if I needed to file any longer and she kept saying she was checking.

I would think that she would know if she's been doing that for a long time and would be nice enough to let me know I didn't need to file any longer and not keep doing it and then charge me $85 not Telling me first the cost. When I thought they could just answer my question and not charge.

And then after all that to ask if I want to schedule appointment for next year. Yeah right pay $85 again when not nessasary. I came to you last year and thought I could just get an answer and not he Charged.

Hope to hear back from you. com

Again this year HR Block changed my appointment date and time and never notified me other than to confirm. When we called to say that was not our appointment we had scheduled they said the tax specialist was no longer there and they rescheduled us with a different agent on a different date.

Been trying to file my taxes for 2 1/2 weeks to no avail. I have a simple form but will not go thru e-file. Have talked to customer service 10 times with no resolution. Promised to research and call me back six times with no return call or resolution.

I will never use H & R Block again. They are incompetent.

where to start. I sent the tax specialist my documents via email as she had requested. She has been doing our taxes for a handful of years so I trusted her. My 1st mistake. We go to our appointment, she has our taxes prepared, we sign and a year later Ireceive a letter from the IRS that I owe them OVER $3000.

Long story short the woman forgot to include my Unemployment Benefits (2021 Covid). My 2nd mistake. I have PROOF I emailed all my income documents to her. I can't even get someone from H&R Block to speak to me about this issue and she is asking me for $99 to "help".

She keeps saying I should have paid for the piece of mind guarantee. I didn't think I needed piece of mind that she was doing her job & not making HUGE mistakes. I know it was an accident but not even an apology and I'm…

On1/3/2023 I had made an appointment with Markus P. m.. He was working on my Income Taxes paperwork on his computer he mumbling said to me that the electronic signature was not working. He then gets up and bring another paper for me to sign so he can continue to finish mt income Tax paper work.

As he was gathering all the paperwork and stapling, I asked him about that other paperwork he had me sign, he just mumbling says I’m mailing that… I asked for a copy and he just continue to staples the paperwork,. I get up and pick up my copies.

As I get home I began to look for that document that he had me sign. It was not with my income tax paperwork! On Saturday I call but Mr. Hagmann did not worked on weekends. m.. Mr. Hagmann denying that he had given me what I already had in my paperwork.

I filed a extension because I kept getting and error and was unable to get help. I called in May 22 and asked for help. I was told I needed an expert and that I would get a call back. Two months later no call back. I called again and got the same promise. No call back. I called in November, same thing. I called two weeks ago and was now told that I had to file using the software. But to do so I have manually upload all the information again. This is not acceptable, and as the complete fault of HR Bloch. I wanted to speak with a supervisor. I spoke with someone names Ty C. and was told I would be put thru to a tier II supervisor but instead my call was send to someone else beneath him who refused to put me through to a tier two supervisor until I told them the whole story again.

Was overcharged & subsequently refunded for tax preparation online. I was happy to be refunded by H&R Block.

However the online agent who was assisting me on February 5th in the evening EST had me on hold for over one hour. During my wait time I simultaneously received between six & eight fraudulent purchases on my BOA credit card the H&R Block agent was attempting to refund me on.

I filed fraud claims with Bank of America today 2/6/2023.

My husband and I went into a local branch this evening to file our taxes. When we first sat down with the tax preparer, (Yinking Lai) she mentioned something about wasting the time of "either one of us" and mentioned when she started, she didn't want to have to stop or have her knowledge used by us filing somewhere else.

I thought that was somewhat strange of a thing to comment but went about the appointment. As we were trying to explain the reason we chose to go to H&R Block this year vs doing it online, she was very quick to interrupt us and gave us the impression that she knew more than we did, so

she would just tell us what to do and that was that. Still continued on with our appointment. She started to gather our information and asked if we were filing jointly or separately, we…

Paid a tax preparer to do my taxes in office. She made a mistake and I never received my federal refund and when my state taxes came they took them for fees! I tried multiple times after finding out the issue to have a different preparer fix the mistake and she refused.

She would take my number and not contact me back! I was offered a whopping $100 off and when I wouldn't accept the manager never contacted me again!! I am financially struggling and need this extra money I WORKED ALL YEAR FOR!

I have never been disregarded like this in my life!!

I went to the Nolensville Pike location in Nashville Tn on 2/4. I walked in while it took 3 agents to figure out how to navigate your computer system. They asked a customer their social security number in front of the office full of clients.

My agent was having trouble with the system as well as I had to show her how to use the tab button on the keyboard. Very unknowlegable and incompetent. I went from owing &87 married filling separate to $687 filing jointly while claiming 0? Explain to me how you can allow such incompetent employees to recklessly file inaccurately on people’s behalf?

Scheduled appointment for taxes and my worker didn’t show; rescheduled me for the next worker an hour later for drop off service. This work didn’t even start my taxes till the following day after I tracked them down at another location.

After paying an outrageous fee for the same service I could have done online for free my filing was rejected. Employee promised to fix it and never called me back as stated. The following day didn’t show for work and my taxes are still not filed and it’s been a week.

I went to H&R Block to get my taxes done. I am fairly new to H&R Block I believe this was my second time there. An older woman by the name of Dorothy Burns was my tax lady. I was at the Springfield Pa.

Office on Baltimore Pike at 2:00pm. When she did my taxes she kept messing up on the computer. I noticed it because I can see what she is doing by looking at my screen. When I told her about the mistakes she was having she was extremely nasty and rude to me.

She had to call over 2 people to help her. She was extremely rude to the young nice gentleman that was at the front desk. This woman literally made at least 15 mistakes on my tax return. I had enough 2 hours later with my taxes still not done she gathered my taxes and she had another appointment and was trying to rush me out the door.…

Went to H&R Block in Olney Illinois to have our taxes done. We were told our taxes would be done shortly and we would get a phone call. We had to go to town anyways so we headed to town did what we needed to do, and went to wait in the parking lot.

We waited for 15 minutes and watched the employees walking back and forth and when my husband went in to check on them and they said our return was half done and they would finish it tomorrow, but she was sitting there cutting up construction paper. I never had problems with Lawrenceville H&R block, but we will not be going back to Olney's office.

I know it's tax season and people are busy, but do your work instead of playing around.

Good morning, I had H and R Block do my taxes for 2021 and I was very annoyed that they didn't give rent deduction. I do not recommend H & R Block and I'm extremely frustrated that I paid over $300 for you to prepare my taxes and you didn't do it correctly.

You left off my highest expense. It was taken out in 2020 when you prepared my taxes. I'm extremely frustrated. Thanks, Lauretta Brennan 857-261-6988

I had an appointment with H&R Block in Hagerstown Maryland on pensilvania avenue at 7pm. They close at 8pm. My “tax expert” was named Wilalisa something like that. She asked me who I filed with last year and I told her I’ve always filed with Turbo Tax but this year I wanted to explore my options for my best satisfaction and best refund.

” I said “I would like to. ” She said “well I can’t guarantee anything” so I said “okay so what do you suggest? ” So when I heard that I knew she didn’t even want to take time out to try to help me file.

She was ready to go home because it was almost closing time. Horrible costumer service.

Tried to file 2020 form 099T (mandatory e-file) with Wendy Ramirez at Fairfield CT office. HRBlock systems could not process, so she filed hardcopy instead with cover letter for explanation, and charged me $75. IRS rejected hardcopy return. I had to buy TaxAct to re-file electronically.

I spoke to Ms Ramirez and Lyn Eagle (supervisor) about refunding $75, but have gotten no reply.

I convinced my boyfriend to go to HR Block to file because I've been going for years and the Emerald Advance loan that you can get that same day is very helpful. In this case we were depending on it this time.

We had a new associate help us and she didn't tell us until the end that someone had to review her work before they could send it. They ended up never finishing it and now we likely won't get our advance until Monnday rather than same day.

Is there a way service fees can be refunded in any capacity? Because this is unfair to the customer and I'm never one to usually complain. I even called and spoke with the associate meant to review it, she said she would by end of day (Saturday). She never did.

My tax preparer did my taxes all wrong with my first and middle name not even my last name on the papers and spelled wrong. And I payed 500$ for her then to say well I already filed them so if it comes back I’ll have to redo them. I’m a single mother and really can’t afford to wait any longer but she wasn’t really concerned about that.

Well y'all have a manager her name is Danielle Marie Boudreaux at your Lafayette la office at 5700 Johnston Street And she is a very very rude and nasty woman!! She cursed me out after I turned her offer down about doing sexual pleasures after she closes the doors and she said we can smoke some meth and have sex on her desk or all the desk and

she could cheat on my taxes to get me way more money than I would ever expect. I really don't think that is the kind of person I would want to handle other people money. If she's doing drugs like meth ain't no telling what she would do to get her fix!!!

I really really don't appreciate her asking me to have sex with her after my girlfriend went outside to make a phone call!!! That is not professional at all!!! Thank You The Anonymous One.

your company did the work that in turn we had to go to the IRS. We kept having to go back and forth to Your office. And everything we went back to H&R block at lease 6 time and everyone kept telling us it was fixed it was a problem with my granddaughter.

SS# they fix and said it was fixed but it wasn't there still was a problem. So now we had to take off work more then once to try and correct the problem. We went in to the I R S.

And they fixed the problem. H&R BLOCK Didn't Do. What wrong with that picture.

I have been filing on line for 5 years or more. This year they logged me out and I can’t get in. I changed my password. I still can’t get in. I called customer service they can’t fix it. They sent me to the next level they can’t fix it.

They sent me up to the third level who said 3-5 business days. No call yet. I can’t ever cancel the account unless signed in. But I can’t sign in to cancel it. Can’t get a supervisor or main business address to answer.

Meanwhile can’t do my taxes or take a copy of my taxes to my town hall. Can’t open new account until the old one is cancelled. Continuous cycle of screw job with no ending. Maybe the 3rd level will call and help but I am not counting on them.

They changed for the worst.
