You will not get your money worth unless you're doing a 1040. And in fact they will charge you like you have a schedule C with 6 entities. It's called upselling. They do it hard and aggressively. Save your money etc and find a reputable spot. Just my 2 cents. read more

I made an appointment to do my taxes and Mrs Kalpana refused to do my taxes. She said that she didn't have time for me. So I left frustrated and upset. read more

I have been going to this location for many years. Today I went with my fully registered service dog. The receptionist was extremely rude. She immediately told me that she wasn't sure I could get in with my dog. Yelled at me. And treated me like I have never treated anybody in my life. I am still in shock writing this review. H&R has lost a client today read more

Ronald has consistently been top quality every tax year. I'm finally hearing back from the IRS about the prior periods and they match up with the filings Ronald helped complete. Moreover his ability in navigating the new rules regarding child service expenses and other new credits has been immense. read more

I was referred by a friend who said good things about this location. I called to make an appointment, left a detailed voicemail, and waited. One week later, nobody had called me back. Wanting to be fair, I called again a week later. This time I reached a woman and tried to make an appointment. I explained that I'd previously left a message, but nobody called me back. She said the owner, Raymond, had been on vacation. It's unclear if the owner is the only employee allowed to return voicemails or why nobody else could be bothered to return my call. Whatever the reason, she never apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. I asked when I could make an appointment and she said Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. When I told her Fridays worked best, she said the owner worked on Fridays and wasn't accepting any new clients. I then questioned why she'd offer me a Friday appointment since the owner is supposedly the only person who works on Fridays and isn't accepting new clients. She indicated that because I'm a referral, he might be willing to make an exception and said he'd contact me the following week once he returned from vacation. That was 10 days ago and nobody ever called back or expressed any interest in helping me. I've been an H&R Block customer for 20 years and this sort of unprofessional behavior is off-putting. I plan to work with another H&R Block location that is more professional, communicative, and responsive. Sorry, I gave you folks a couple of opportunities and you let me down both times. You're obviously not interested in my business. I wish you the best. read more

Mother needed her taxes done. I called around talked to Jamal and had an appointment. In a little over a week the taxes were done and filled and paid for. Couldn't have been easier. read more

Ronald was great! Efficient, fast, and friendly! This is my 4th year going to him. I'll be back next year.

I've been going to this H&R Block location for about 3 or 4 years now and I am confident I am getting some of the best help possible. Ronald Lee is amazing. He makes sure I always feel comfortable to ask any questions I may have, and guides me through the whole process so that I can understand the nuances of everything. He's also very accommodating and flexible when it comes to appointments, as I've had to reschedule quite a few times. This is a great location and the parking is very easy as well. Going here makes it a lot less stressful during "tax season", which I think makes it worth it... read more

Viva La Ray Ng. Great service, great value, and wonderful results. You go Ray! Pasadena office on East Colorado Blvd read more

I've been going to this H&R Block location for several years now. I went in October 2023 to have my 2021 and 2022 taxes prepared (yes, I was a bit behind). When I received my 2022 refund but not my 2021 refund. I left a few messages and phone calls for the tax preparer. Raymond Ng, the franchisee eventually called me back and told me my 2021 return had not been filed because the tax preparer did not do it properly and had retired. I went into the office to have the taxes completed and mailed them since the electronic submission time had expired. This year I went back and followed up on emails to the tax preparer with information she needed to complete my return. The calls and emails were not returned. Several weeks later I called and insisted on going in to have my returns completed and submitted. On 04.06.2024 I sent an email to Raymond Ng, the franchisee, with my concerns and to date I have not received an acknowledgement or response to my email. read more

Ronald Lee is the absolute best enrolled tax agent I've ever encountered in all my years of filing. Given there are only 2 things guaranteed in life, I prefer filing my taxes to be a pleasant one, with Ronald by my side I'm never let down. He always manages to get the best refund possible due to his extensive knowledge of the tax code, which I chalk up to his Harvard MBA, the guy simply put is thorough. Best of all his jovial personality, along with being quick with a joke leaves me smiling every time. My most recent visit required an expedited appointment, as I was in a hurry to get back to work. Ronald took care of everything within 10 minutes and somehow still managed to be incredibly detailed. Look no further you've got your guy with Ronald. read more

I'm not a frequent Yelper but gotta get on to give Ronald Lee (@Pasadena) a personal shout out! He helped my husband and I with our taxes for the second time and he was just great at his job. He was knowledgable and genuinely thoughtful. He helped us figure out lots of little expenses that we could have easily, and frankly most likely overlooked, and got us a higher return. We also enjoyed his quirky sense of humor, which made an unnerving task as pleasant as can be! I had a few follow-up questions after the taxes were filed, and I called and left him a message. He returned my call promptly, gave good advice, and answered everything patiently. I could not be more grateful. I think Ronald is a grade A+ employee and deserve a raise :) read more

Used this service for the first time after our out-of-state tax preparer decided to retire! We used H&R Block two decades ago and remember being very pleased with them, so there was no question we would go back to them. We worked with Raymond Ng and we're very pleased with his knowledge and expertise. Thanks, Raymond! read more

Got nowhere with this place. Hard to trust a business with your personal tax and financial info when the receptionist needs you to repeat your name multiple times, and still any get it right!! At that point I said pass, will find a more professional and capable place to take my business. Too bad because I was encouraged by all the positive reviews and testimonials read more

Ronald is not only an amazing and trusting Tax preparer who is completely transparent & precise when sharing professional information about your taxes, but he is also a funny and gentle soul! So thankful to have crossed paths with Ronald! Truly the best! read more

A million stars for Raymond! Seriously, THE MAN. Not at all surprised to see a lot of reviews here mentioning how awesome he is! Definitely worth mentioning that there are three H&R Block locations on Colorado Bvld in Pasadena, and I 100% showed up at the wrong my for my first appointment. Thankfully Raymond kept my appointment even though I was about 20 minutes late--definitely suggest opting for this location if you're in the Pasadena area as it's the only one with a parking lot (and we all know parking in Old Town is a true nightmare). I really like how Raymond is transparent and no nonsense but still so friendly and takes the time to explain everything that's going on. He helped me solve a few stock-related questions on my end and even fixed some mistakes from the past couple years that resulted in me getting a way bigger refund than expected. The preparation fees here are 100000% worth it! I love having the peace of mind that my taxes are finished and done correctly. I'll be come back for years to come! read more

My first time coming here to do taxes today. Ron helped me, and I have to say he was not only very friendly, but also very attentive to detail and provides a service that is nothing less of exceptional. I left there knowing that I got the most possible return I could get due to his level of attentiveness. Will definitely be back next year, and will recommend my family and friends to come here to get the maximum return they deserve. Thanks Ron! read more

I am updating my review and again giving a 1 star!! We had Moses prepare our taxes and we had issues with how he initially handled our taxes..well here I am again providing additional feedback because we received notice from the IRS saying our taxes were done incorrectly and that there was a miscalculation which meant we only get half of our federal refund! I'm furious cuz now I have to spend my Saturday meeting with another tax preparer to fix this mistake.. unbelievable!! read more

Ron helped me with my taxes since he got a good reviews thoight he got me pretty much everything in tax return but I was wrong. He didn't even added my mom as my dependant. Plus he asked me to pay for fees first, Again this is not the first first time I filed taxes and from the past they always deducted from my returns no need to pay upfront. Then the next year I went to different H&R block office and this Lady Mayra truly helped me more than what I should get and I dont have to pay upfront. read more

I will definitely be back for all my tax needs and as early as in a few months to make some changes to my business based on recommendations by Ray. Thanks! read more

I usually come here for tax help and I don't really have a choice because they're the cheapest I can find. I don't like the way they treat me because I don't know tax stuff, but again I don't have a choice because they're cheap. I wish I understood how to do my own taxes but I come here. This is a good place for anybody who can't afford a nice tax professional, but they're not nice. read more

I'm sitting here yelping for the third time! I'm a triple yelper! My taxman is Ronald Lee who is an enrolled agent and has an MBA from a a well-known eastern business school. What can I say? I bring my documents in and he takes care of the rest. I'm happy with the results every year and when we get refunds it's a definite bonus. We chuckle over the paper work. If I had to do the work all by myself, I wouldn't even be smiling. read more
