I visited the H&R Block in Woodbridge, VA. on Smoketown Rd, Shoppers way because I have used this company for many years by setting up appointments or walking in. Fortunately, I was told that I was due to a stimulus that I never receive, which I was glad to hear. However, H&R Block took half of the stimulus check without informing me that I could save money by doing it online. I have been so disappointed. From now on I will file online, and maybe not with H&R block anymore but with another company since they were not kind en... read more

Because of the pandemic, my wife and I dropped off our paperwork for our taxes to be filed, 2.5 weeks of waiting to hear back, and we call to find out that they had a few questions but had never reached out. Sent in the form in which they required, and gave them another week still without any contact. As I thought about it, maybe they didn't have the correct contact information, so I proceeded to call just to make sure. The sole reason for my call was simply to understand the status on where the filing process was, but it tu... read more

I recently had H&R Block do my tax returns which was a simple short form. I was charged $220 for this service which I thought was a bit costly. I spoke to an ex employee of H&R Block about this and I was told I should have been charged $169. Next year I will look for someone else to do my taxes.

For the last 20plus years a CPA firm has been doing my taxes. Wanted to get one nearer home, so I tried Block. Block charged twice the price CPA firm ALWAYS had refund direct deposited, Asked Block to do the same. Never happened. IRS says they mailed the check. Asked office to mail this, and previous years returns back to me 2 weeks ago, Naver happened. IRS doesn't have curent direct deposit info now so stimulus checks will be delayed as well!\BAck to CPA outfit!,

I spoke to a person who identified herself as the manager. She refused to honor a $25 gift certificate for returning customers, and was exceedingly rude to me, hanging up in the middle of the conversation, and refused to take my calls afterwards. The employees would not give me her name.

I completed my taxes online and then had an H & R agent review my taxes. I paid extra to have this completed. When they returned by taxes for me to review they billed me for more money. The office that looked at my taxes could not figure out how to take this extra fee off. I waited over 3 weeks and they could not figure it out. So, then the office charged me another fee for them to do them in their office and send them to me, which I had to pay if I wanted my taxes back, so I paid it. Well, it has been over a month and H & R... read more

I called customer service over ten times about my Emerald Card not working when i go to use it at the store or pay a bill. the agents put you on hold for a very long time and they don't tell you what they are going to do, they just put you on hold. they seem to have no clue as to what they are doing and they keep repeating themselves over and over. they do not have good listening skills and they basically are there for a pay check because after 11-12 calls i still received no help and my issue was never resolved! The agents ... read more

I have been a software user for six years. Each year when I have an issue, I call the customer service line and have to wait at least an hour each time to get to talk to someone who cannot solve my issue and who transfers me to another department where I have to wait at least another hour, only to be disconnected. This year is the worst. I ordered a backup CD with my Premium software (6 weeks ago) and I have called at least ten times to find out when I would be receiving it. Here I am ten calls and over ten hours in queue (t... read more

All they care about is getting their fees. They don't care about trying to get your max refund or trying to get you any tax breaks or write offs. I don't think they train their employees well at all. It is never easy to get ahold of anyone on the customer service line and when you finally do they give you the run around our say they have to transfer you too another department only for the same thing to happen again. You will be better off using an online service or learning to do it yourself.
