I went to H&R Block to have my taxes done last year (2010 taxes), I didn't end up going with them and instead did them on my own. I left scared that the person that was helping me wasn't aware of a bunch of different things you can claim on your taxes. He had no clue about being able to split up the taxes paid on a Trad. IRA moved into a Roth, so you only had to pay half the taxes owed one year and half the next year. He didn't know what you could claim from your mortgage payments and actually argued with me, before looking up the answer and finding out he was wrong. I went in there thinking I would be better off having them help me, I was really really wrong! Be careful if you use them that you don't miss out on money you should be getting back. read more
