Could someone who is familiar with H&R block tell me I didnt get scammed???

Question

I had my taxed done at h&r block this year. Before I went I completed my return online at their website but didnt submit it. I wanted the 2 day loan. When I got there all of the info was already in there and after the women checked everything the amount was the same. They turned me down for the loan and I called the bank and it was due to an offset. I called the irs number it told me to and it stated that I had no offsets. Even the banks other line said I had no offsets while the other one said I was turned down due to an offset. So I got to pay over $200 to have someone submit all of the information I had entered to the IRS and got my money back no sooner. Actually may take longer. And dont ask them for answers they have none. They use a bank that they cant get a hold of apparently. Its my job to call this bank. I didnt go to this bank so I shouldnt have to deal with them.

Yes I have used someone else in the past but never had any problems so I just thought it didnt matter where I went and they are close to me. Never again though.

Answer 1

Your first mistake was going to H&R Block.Your second was not waiting 2 weeks for the money to get back.I could be wrong but I think it cost you 20 percent of your return by not waiting plus the $200

Answer 2

My own personal experience with H&R Block.

Over $250 bucks later and I owe X amount of dollars - on the way home, I spent $79.00 for Turbo Tax software and spent less than a hour and a half on the computer. I am getting a small return.

H&R Block (and this may depend on the individual preparer and may not be representative) missed numerious deductions - especially deductions relating to my self employed business. Perhaps he was in a hurry or backed up with customers, I don't know.

I do know its good ol' Turbo Tax for me from now on.

the federal government don't have the capability to punish cites for no longer doing as they're instructed and there is noting interior the form that asserts they might desire to enforce federal rules. they shouldn't giving supplies you to cities, cities have their own tax base and would pay for what they want and would desire to actual replace grant money if the federal government weren't taxing them to grant different cities supplies you. Conservative elect a small federal government different than whilst they do no longer

Answer 4

thats a bloddy nightmare of a scam to me. my boyfriend used to do his taxes there too and he repeatedly got screwed. anyone that reads this, go else where. in canada theres a place called liberty tax. i've been doing my taxes with them for years and its always been a pleasure.

Answer 5

I do my own, but you could always try to see if there's a local IRS building around to do them for free. They do that in my town. If not, try Jackson-Hewitt.
