I did not really want to write this review but I have not been left with much choice. I will not…read morename names though I could. My wife and I went to get our taxes done at the Junction City office after making an appointment to do so. We had some additional income last year and wanted to make sure that we paid the correct amount. During the session, I was told that I would have to pay about a $200 penalty for failing to pay estimated taxes the year before. I thought that this was odd since I did not know how much additional income I would be receiving in 2022. However, I accepted it as IRS squeezing and moved on. We paid our taxes and fees and moved on. The IRS accepted our return and collected their money from me. About two weeks later, I received a check and a notice indicating that I did not owe a penalty. On the surface, this was, of course, good news. I read H&R Block's accuracy guarantee on the website and it seemed I was owed at least a partial refund for my tax preparation being incorrect. If someone could explain to me why I was wrong, I figured that I would be happy with getting $200 back unexpectedly. The problem was nobody ever did explain after plenty of contact with various H&R Block personnel. I first called the office in JC. I spoke to the woman who did my taxes and explained the situation. She indicated that I would have to speak to the regional manager. I left my name and number and never heard back. I then contacted the H&RB customer service 800 number. They listened to me and opened a case number. They told me that someone would contact me by phone. When a week went by I called back and referenced the case number. They again told me that I would be contacted. I was pleasantly surprised when a couple of days later, I received an email telling me to call back. I did and was told that they were not ready to speak to me and that I should wait for a call. I asked why the email but the young lady did not know why. I waited two more weeks and called, again referencing the case number. By then, there was no "my case number". It had evaporated into the ether. I gave up but swore to myself I would expose this inept form of customer service. Everyone make errors. It is how the mistakes are handled that differentiates the fools from the superstars. H&R Block handles their errors like buffoons. Take your business and hard-earned money elsewhere.

Things were simple. I was broke. She knew I was broke. I knew she knew I was broke, but it didn't matter. She hung by. Along came better jobs. With those jobs? I got introduced through a friend to the standard 1040. While I'll spare you the cold hearted breakup story of the previous tax form, I'll just say things were still good. I had very few write offs.

On top of that, the more things I had to calculate, the more turbo tax wanted to charge me. State forms. write off forms. Accountant review...I'm getting a headache just writing this. I didn't have a clue if I was actually doing things correctly, as can be evidenced by my expected letter right around June informing me I still owed the government cash. After discussing it for a few days, I asked around and found this wonderful accountant. She Listened to me miss-name virtually everything I said I had. She giggled, told me to provide a host of documents, and off we went. That was 4 years ago. We don't even live in Corvallis anymore, but we'll be damned if we go anywhere else. We use dropbox, e-mail, a couple of phone calls, and do just about everything over the phone. This company knows how to treat a customer, work around our busy schedules, and keeps my relationship with our tax forms from ruining our impacting our relationships with each other every year. No, she's not the least expensive person out there, but in this case, you really do get what you pay for. Go here, you won't regret it.

Ashly is highly professional and has provided top-notch service in tax consultation, tax preparation, small business consultation, structuring, forming and registering our LLC. We had the same tax preparer, also an EA, for many years in another state CA, and still used him for a while after moving to Oregon. Since that time, we hired the services of at least 3-4 different local "tax preparers" in past years. We've used two different known "chain" tax preparation companies and had the absolute worst experience each time. It's not something to take lightly and finding the right accounting professional is so important. As a result of our previous bad experiences, we waited to find the right person and for the first time, had two tax years to complete. Ashly was more than patient, understanding and knowledgeable. She is very current and up to date on everything with the state and federal, as it pertains to both individuals and businesses. We will continue to work with Ashly for any small business accounting matters throughout the year as our business continues to grow.

I've been out of the rat race (employment world) for a decade. Although I have a past work history of lots of clerical experience and have owned two small businesses, my last ten years of volunteering with too much free time, my lack of current job experience using software and with the very very high competition for work in Eugene/Springfield made finding a job/career situation seemingly impossible. My old/outdated resume was just not getting attention. When I contacted Heather she replied within a few hours and we were on the phone talking about me and my work history/skills and how to move forward in updating my resume to get me the job I wanted. I followed her instructions providing her with as much info as possible that would add to my resume (all my volunteer experiences) and we met for coffee and she went over everything. Later that afternoon I had a resume that looked pretty awesome. Heather also helped me craft a cover letter that company managers/HR department heads want to read. I was getting responses from my cover letter/resume submissions and importantly, interviews! After spending a month of not getting any leads I was getting closer and closer to a job.
