I had been going to H&R Block for several years to get my taxes done, and every year was charged between $300-$400 for their services. When I shared that news with some co-workers of mine, they were horrified that I had paid that much, and said that I should never pay more than about $100 to have my taxes done by anyone. I switched to a different accountant this year and only paid $70 including tax for her services. I misplaced some of the forms from my return last year and recently had to go back in to have them reprinted. I had to pay $30 to have my return reprinted. Also last year when I had them done there, the person doing them seemed to have no clue what she was doing, to the point where I had to help walk her through some of the steps on the computer. I had to go back later to get the return amended because she forgot something, and she wasn't there that day so somebody else had to help us with it. That person seemed extremely annoyed and it took her about 45 minutes to get it done. I find it funny because they have signs up all over their business saying "We will get you every penny you deserve!" But when you actually hold them to that, they get annoyed that you want them to actually go through effort to get you an extra $32 (the amount in my case). After being taken advantage of them for years, I definitely won't be back. They just seem extremely money hungry. read more
