Recently, I had my income taxes prepared for the first time at H&R Block (Brand Blvd., Glendale) on the recommendation of my financial advisor. I chose the H&R Block full service (person-to-person) plan. Lucy Manasian, my tax preparer, was very professional, proficient, and friendly. She completed my taxes from start to finish and gave me the opportunity to ask questions and make comments throughout the entire process, which took approximately one hour. Lucy also signed and e-filed my tax return before I left her office. Thank you H&R Block and Lucy for giving me much-needed peace of mind at a very stressful time and at a very fair price. I was so impressed, I already scheduled my appointment for next year! read more

In one word.....Amazing!! I have been a client of H&R Block on Brand for many years, Martha Aldana provides excellent tax services. Every time I have a question I can count on her to help me. Do yourself a favor and let Martha take care of your taxes, thank you Martha you are simply the best! read more

They never answer the phone, I lived a message and they never answer back, I am very disappointed about.

Highway robbery just do it yourself they're charging up to 180$ all for a couple of w2s?? Free tax credit USA baby I did it all for 15$ will never use an H&R Block ever again read more

Emilia was amazing, great service, best attitude and very knowledgeable! Will be coming back next year!

I've been an H&R Block client since they were in the basement of Sears!! The best tax preparer is Rosa Esqueda in the Glendale location on Brand Blvd. she always keeps me informed on new tax laws & how it impacts our filling. She is efficient & accurate!! read more

It is hard to say how much of nightmare this place has put me in. A rushed process after charging the full amount that cost over a thousand in lost returns; advice that lead to fines; inability to e-file thereafter such that my taxes were lost in the mail. To date, I've lost thousands because of my experience at this place. read more

Rosa did such an amazing job at helping me to review and file my Federal and State taxes!!! Highly recommend this H&R Block!!!! read more

H&R Block - Accountants Near Me - Glendale, California

This is my third year working with Shirley and each time I couldn't have had a better experience. She is professional, kind and always very patient with me. I would recommend her to anyone because, for me, she took all the stress out of doing my taxes. I will continue to work with Shirley in the future. Santa read more

David Tran was great, as usual. We first had an appointment with him last year at another location but when we heard he moved to the Glendale office, we happily followed. My husband and I feel that he truly has our best interests at heart and works hard to make sure we get the most out of our taxes. We always leave with extra tips to consider for the next year and he follows up with us when we have any other questions outside of our appointment. Would highly recommend going to him. As for the office, parking might be a little challenging. But we heard from David that he made available a parking area, so don't be deterred by the street parking. There's a lot available! No wait, there's coffee waiting for you, and a friendly staff. read more

Love going to this location and my tax professional is Shirley Louie. I've been going to her for years now and my mom started going to her last year as well. She answers all my questions and explains everything clearly. I now send her my documents prior to my appointment to ensure I don't forget anything and need to keep going back. She prepares everything prior and it makes everything so much easier. I feel like I get all my credits and deductions. She knows my history now after going there for years so that makes things even better. My session is always easy and quick. I always email her questions as well. She answers fairly quickly. Thank you Shirley! See you next year and probably more to come! read more

I give this place a 5 star. Bijan my person who prepares my tax every year. He is an excellent person. He does his job very professionally. I've going with him so many years now. The place looks clean. People are nice. Bijan deserves a beyond recognition to what he does. Very pleasant person. read more

We are Lazaro and Sophia Alvarez Jr. We have done our taxes with Leticia Gonzalez for the last 10 years and we are very pleased in doing our taxes with Leticia and H and R Block. She takes the time to explain to us what our tax situation is and what to look for in next years taxes. I can go to her for advise and she has guided us through out the years. We highly recommend her. Thank you Leticia, Lazaro And Sophia Alvarez Jr. read more

I made an appointment at this H&R Block during my lunch hour, showed up on time and waited. And waited. And finally, the guy comes out of his office to tell me that his preceding appointments were late, thus he was late and couldn't see me. He told me to leave and come back another time. I would have understood if they had called me in advance and asked to reschedule. But to cancel the appointment when I already showed up and wasted my gas and my lunch break? Save yourself the haste and go elsewhere. read more

Tax time can be frustrating and difficult to navigate around. But with Martha at this location, trust me you have nothing to stress about. Kind person, great at what she does. Give her a chance she will take good care of you. Thanks Martha read more

Had a great experience again at this H&R Block location. My tax specialist Liana Mkhitaryan was great as usual, this is my second year filing with her. She is very detailed in her work and took the extra steps in order to be concise and clear. Thank you again, I'll be back next year! read more

Highly recommend Senior Tax Advisor Shirley Louie. She's been at the S. Brand location over 20 years...

Booking an appointment over the phone, I was assured that everything would be arranged since I have to file an out-of-state tax return. But arriving at this depressing location, I was greeting by a mostly-empty office (it's the off-season, sure, but I was unprepared for the level of depressingness) and the invitation to sit down, have a styrofoam cup of water, and wait for my preparer, who was, despite the fact that I had an appointment, not ready to see me. So I waited. And waited. After about 20 minutes, the receptionist (who assured me several times that she was herself a tax preparer) asked me about my state returns. I repeated to her what I'd said on the phone: out-of-state, specifically New York State. She told me that she wasn't sure that my preparer was certified for NY taxes despite the assurances to the contrary on the phone. So she went to check. While I waited, another preparer greeted a client and made sure not to keep her waiting. But I kept waiting. Finally, after staring at a wall for 30 minutes, the receptionist-cum-tax preparer returned and apologized (she was at least apologetic) for keeping me waiting and also informed me that my preparer (still hiding out somewhere, never to be seen) was in fact NOT certified to prepare returns for New York State. And so I left, having wasted my afternoon. I should have planned on spending more money elsewhere and setting up an appointment with a reputable professional, but instead I opted for frustration, the privilege of going home and writing this lame review, and finding a real tax preparer. Thanks for nothing. read more

Awesome place great Tax Pros the receptionist went out of her way to help my mother The manager and the team are great they help us with our tax situation, answering our questions and resolving our problems with the IRS. I will recommend to everyone to get there Peace of Mind. Made your life easy with the IRS Great place read more

The entire staff at this office is phenomenal. Zina A. Is my tax professional and has helped me in so many ways keeping me from being stressed and allowing me to sleep at night. I will always go to her Monica and Jeremy at the front desk are phenomenal as well and listen to everything I have to say and don't rush me off the phone it's nice to feel this somebody's listening in this insane world. I can't recommend this office enough. A+ !!! read more

I'm not gonna lie the location totally sucks. There is almost nowhere to park so come early. Other than that if someone has complicated taxes before you you might have a wait but I didn't. I'm the complicated one. Ask for JC. He's cool and he's pretty quick. The prices are high but that's the same with all H&R blocks and all CPA's. That is not fun but at least,they try to make it as painless as possible. read more

No frills here. My wife and I came here 3 years in a row to have our taxes done and each time the folks doing our taxes barely looked at us, did all the forms on what looked like a really easy program and charged us $250 for it. They claim they can for sure get you a great tax return, we payed 2 out of 3 times we went there and into the thousands. When we brought up their advertised claim (which they also have pictures all over the office of happy looking people boasting how much H&R got back for them) they said there wasn't anything they could do. It's a small office and we recognized all the people, no one remembered us, not even the guy we went to two years in a row. Poor, poor customer service. We won't be going here ever again. read more

As reading some of the reviews might suggest, your experience seems to vary with whom exactly is preparing your taxes. Have been getting my returns done here for the past few years with Shirley Louie. I have a fairly complicated return and have always been happy with her work. Shirley has always been pleasant and professional. I highly recommend her. read more

Worst place to do your taxes! Completely incompetent staff!! I had to come 3 times just to sign a damn form where some old man named, Darwin, never kept his freaking appointments!!! Each time I came at my appointment time, he was always busy with someone and I had to wait for an average of 40 fucking minutes!! Never again! read more

I have had my taxes done at H&R Block in Glendale the past 5 years. I love them. they always have nice Front Desk people, hot coffee available & great Tax Pros. i've had my taxes done by several different tax people there & they all are individually great in what they do. they have each given me a great perspective on taxes & the best way to file. they havent gotten myself, family & friends more money then any other tax office. If you want the biggest refund & a great tax office. Go here!!! read more

No star! Had two appt.'s but only one showed up. After waiting an hour someone comes up to us and says they can only see one of us because the rep. Had someone scheduled right after. CANCELED and left. read more

Ask for JC, he is very helpful and knowledgable. Yes, you should always get a good deal on your tax service. Sometimes paying a premium too also gives you peace in mind. JC responds to your questions very quickly and with a deep understanding of your situation(s). He also has a very calm demeanor when dealing with such an important part of your life (taxes/accounting) which I really respect as well. read more

The people are very friendly giving you a warm feeling when you walk in. The tax consultant helped me was very professional. She solved my issues in a really short time. I strongly recommend them. read more

The accountant was confused and unable to figure out how to file my taxes. When I tried to offer suggestions, he waved his hand at me to dismiss me. This was incredibly rude and disrespectful. Now I get a call from him that he did not file correctly, big surprise, and my taxes were rejected by New York state. I always get a healthy refund, and now he is saying I won't get one. I 100% blame this on him as his incompetence. Oh yeah, he was also about 20 minutes late to start my appointment. read more

3108 GLENDALE BLVD LOS ANGELES CA, 90039 I wen to this office as I am a first time buyer and the person thiara was just not helpful this office is just pathetic they dont help you and they charge you hell lot of amount. i would request not to go to this office for your tax filing its worst read more

Worst worst worst service ever. I went to h and r block and met a lady by name Emilia Cota. She said she would assist me in preparing my taxes and asked for more documents. I got all my documents and then I visited there office. I was told that she was on leave that day. Then I called her the next day to confirm if she is available but she never responded my calls, messages and emails. I called there office asking them to assign me a new tax preparer which they didn't do it. Then after a week of wait I did my own taxes. Over all I had the worst experience with h and r block. I would never ever recommend it to anyone who wants to get there things done without wasting time. read more

I have been coming to this location for ONE reason and that's Shirley Louie!! She is the best and has been taking care of my returns for years. She is easy to work with and always has my best interests in mind. For example, this was a particularly strange year with all the new changes to the tax code. After I had already filed and gotten my return I got a call from Shirley who in retrospect had found a deduction that was not available in Feb. She set up all the paperwork for me (including a pre addressed envelope to send it all off in) all I had to do was sign one line and now I am waiting for another check! She also went out of her way to figure out how much I need to withhold this year so that the new tax laws dont leave me with a giant bill next year. Shirley goes above and beyond for her clients...she's thoughtful, she's super smart and an all around good person who I look forward to seeing year after year. Thanks Shirley!!! read more

This was my first yer doing my taxes on my own. I went to H&R because my sister had gone the previous year and she said they did a good job for $50. Well my bill was about $250 with about different forms used. I was shocked at the end when Hagop Mazmanian told me my fee. He did do a wonderful job and took his time not rushing through things and explaining any questions i had. This was his first year doing taxes and therefore there were some areas he needed to check on. Overall the experience level could have been better for Hagop but his patients and hardwork balanced out. The price on the other hand was a bit pricy and i could have gone to a individual tax professional and paid about the same. read more

I got my taxes done here for the first time and the experience could not have been better. The staff was friendly, helpful, and were able to break down my tax returns in tone that I could understand. Would recommend coming here. read more

the people working there are so tricky ..I received a mail from sears corporation which H&R block is gonna do free tax return for their employee's went to their office and showed them the mail they took my mail and kept it ,after doing my tax returnes they charged me almost 100 bucks! and when i asked them about the mail they told me which mail?!and then when i insisted they just said oh we are sorry we lost your mail but we will try to find it later..and you have to pay anyway...they are so tricky people and this was the last year that i did my tax in this company..i am so disappointed read more

This is the worst possible place to do your tax return. I went to H &R 5 mins before my scheduled appointment and waited 40 mins there! Just after looking my W2, the guy who was dealing my case, asked $300 as a fee. He didn't even calculate/estimate my tax return. He was very RUDE and very UNPROFESSIONAL. I will never GO back to this place. read more

$340 in 2007 plus another $40 or so for the "peace of mind." Got a nice refund -- excellent. Two years later, I get a demand from the IRS. HR Block had screwed up my return and I owed $600. Attempts to get HRB to rectify this have been fruitless and frustrating and remain unresolved. Staff at the office in Glendale appear to be purposefully unhelpful. FAIL! read more

This place is awesome ! Quick service , very professional and friendly. Tax pro went out of her way to get me the maximum refund. I recommend this location to everyone. read more

Been coming to H&R Block for a number of years now. Before my wife passed we went in to do our taxes and met with Emilia Cota, one of the sweetest and most pleasant tax preparers we ever dealt with. My wife loved working with Emilia so much that she decided we would come to her exclusively from then on. Even though my beautiful wife passed away unexpectedly in late 2014, I have continued to seek out Emilia so that she can help me file my taxes- after my wife passed my taxes got a bit more complex for me since there were a number of additional issues that came up on top of the fact that my wife always took the lead on filing, and I was largely in the dark when it came to fiscal matters such as this. Emilia has been so helpful, offering me a lot of good financial advice and assistance. Although I have since moved away from the area, I will continue to work with Emilia Cota even if it means traveling a fair distance to do so. H&R Block gets my highest recommendation because of her- I would not refer anyone anywhere else. read more
