Moved here about a year ago and 2017 was going to be my first all-Pennsylvania tax year. I thought I would find a local tax accountant because I find it's always better to do taxes face-to-face. But when I called around for estimates, I got sticker shock. I was quoted $500-$600 for an individual tax return (no dependents) from several smaller businesses! I've never paid more than $350. Because I had a frustrating experience with doing my own taxes I didn't want to go that route. I also had a terrible experience with an H&R Block Premium office in Portland, Oregon so I was very wary. But when I saw the four-review for the South Side office, I decided to call them. Justin, the store manager, answered the phone and he sounded nice AND smart. So I asked if I could come see him. I made an appointment and badda-bing my taxes are done. It was actually way less excruciating than usual. Everyone else in this location seemed nice and with-it. My final bill was just $247.00 - a screaming deal. read more
