TLDR; Was giving incorrect information regarding double state taxation/refund request. Then asked…read moreto pay $75 consultation fee for incompetent and incorrect consultation by the rep who gave it to us after we informed her we would not be using her. Do yourself a favor and make sure you ask up front what their fees are and get it in writing. Also make sure you have a rep who has a reputation for knowing their stuff. If I could give 0 stars I would. My husband and I went to see about how to go about filing our taxes and what we needed to do as we had an unique situation where his new employer accidentally took out both VA and DC taxes. After explaining the situation and that we had fixed the issue to having only VA taken out-- but needed help to get a refund for DC payments, the Rep Izza, told us we would file for both states and maybe get some credit back, and that because his work was located in DC and we lived in VA we would be required to pay both. This is NOT TRUE. I even told her this was not to true and quoted from the internet but she would not entertain this possibility. What she should have said is we can fill out DC Form D-40B Nonresident Request for Refund (2024) as we were never a resident of DC. There were a few other questions I asked, and did not get solid answers on. It was at this point I should have gotten up and told her thanks. She said she would look up certain questions I had, and proceeded to ask us several questions from her computer screen. After coming home, I then decided to take the time googled, called and found out the proper form for refund myself. I then showed my husband and we agreed the rep was not knowledgeable. She then proceeds to call my husband and say we owe her a $75 consultation fee, a fee again for WRONG information. She would have also likely charged us to file for 2 state tax returns, when only one was necessary. I have since called the main customer service line and put in a complaint. If H&R Block wants to start charging for time (and not correct information/filing) then they need to have people sign a contract stating this upfront. I did not feel confident having this rep do my taxes and will likely not be back. Hopefully H&R block will take the time to train their employees. I don't know anyone who is willing to pay someone for bad advice or to file double charges for being incorrectly taxed twice. Talk about insult to injury. There is also a reason why they only have a few reviews...somehow all the bad reviews keep disappearing. BEWARE!!

Last year, I was looking for tax professionals on Yelp and I stumbled across this listing with an…read moreAMAZING review for Philip Disharoon. The review was so detailed, that I was like... Ya know what! I do my taxes once a year, I'm gonna drive down to Annandale and really see if this Philip Disharoon character is all he is cracked up to be as a Tax Professional. Well, as you can tell by the 5 stars, he is that and more. Not only is he a kind and friendly gentleman, he is very skilled in tax knowledge and law. He is authentic, he calls for necessary help when he needs it, he is an outstanding individual. He nearly made doing my taxes fun. It was such a pleasure chatting with him, that I'm actually looking forward to going back and doing them with him again this year. In fact, I've already booked my appointment. Most HR Blocks are the same. It's a small room with a bunch of cubicles and some basic desks. There's no differentiation there as far as this HR block goes. They don't bring you a glass of champagne and a foot massager ( like my eventual tax preparation services store will do) ;) I mean... come on people... we're dealing with a lot of stressful things #TheGovenement. Bring us some comforting things. But honestly, at an HR block it's the person that makes all the difference in the world. And I can happily report that Philip Disharoon did that. I will be driving down to Annandale for the foreseeable future to do my taxes, and I couldn't be any glader.

JMU Tax - Unprofessional, Unreliable, and Costly…read more I had high hopes when I hired JMU Tax to handle my 2023 tax preparation, but my experience has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. Despite first meeting with them in April 2024, their incompetence delayed preparation and filing until June 2024. In November I received a notification from the IRS that my taxes had not been filed. I gave them multiple opportunities to make things right. Not only did they fail to complete the work I paid for, but they also refused to issue a refund despite their negligence. From the start, communication was a major issue. My scheduled appointment was mishandled, last-minute cancellations further stalled the process, calls went unanswered, the Annandale office was locked during business hours, and even when I visited in person, errors occurred--such as being given the wrong or incomplete tax documents. This caused unnecessary stress as a new small business owner who relies on timely and accurate filings. When I realized how severely they had mishandled my tax filings, I had to hire another tax professional to review their work and file my taxes. If you're looking for a reliable and responsive tax service, I cannot recommend JMU Tax based on my experience. The lack of professionalism, follow-through, and care for their clients made this a costly and stressful ordeal.

This agency filled out my 2014 taxes. I got a letter from the IRS stating that due to a…read moremiscalculation I overpaid taxes (the agency added a penalty that shouldn't have been added). I also had another well-respected account check over this return, and she found that I had not only been mistakenly charged a penalty by this firm, but that I had been overcharged an additional $1500 in tax because of another error. Sadly, the deadline had passed for getting this money refunded. When I informed Mr. Ghannam of this, and did not demand or ask for one penny back, he challenged me to bet $2000 that he had made a mistake, urging me to put the money in an escrow with his "lawyer" and he would do the same. If the IRS verified he had made a mistake, I would get his money, but if the return was perfect he would get my money. I didn't want to take his money as he did not know that I already had a letter from the IRS proving he had made a mistake. He insisted once again that we do this, so I told him I accepted his challenge, but I told him we didn't need to go to the IRS because I already have a letter from the IRS indicating his mistake. When I produced this letter, he cursed me again and again, made up some story that I had made the mistake, threw an attack on my religious faith, cursed me again, and then told me to stop harassing him. I have his filthy emails and I'm prepared to share them. The person who wrote these email appears to be mentally unstable, or he simply wanted to appear insane and violent in hopes I wouldn't sue him in small claims court. If this agency did your taxes, get them looked over by a professional before it's too late. If you are thinking of having them do your taxes or any other work for you, good luck. If a problem comes up, be prepared to be blamed for the mistakes the agency made and get ready for some filthy insults that I can't put here.

They clearly do not understand basic responsibilities like handling sales tax or providing accurate…read morefinancial support. I asked the front desk about a mismatch in our sales tax reports, and they couldn't give me an answer. Later, I found out they had overpaid my taxes because they didn't even know that platforms like UberEats collect and pay sales tax on my behalf. When tax season came, they offered no help gathering the necessary documents. I hired them specifically to manage accounting and tax-related tasks, but they failed at every step. After I switched to another CPA, they stopped answering my calls and emails completely. I've since spoken to others who had similar experiences. The front desk staff is extremely unprofessional -- she's hung up on me when I called just to request the documents I need to file taxes. This firm did nothing to support my business and showed zero care or accountability. Avoid them at all costs.
