Last year I did my simple taxes online using the free IRS form but I'm having vision problems so…read moredecided to try H & R Block Southtown to file for 2024. I was expecting to just drop off my information and pick it up when finished but the preparer wanted me to stay. It was a good thing I did. When he finished the medical deductions I questioned why they were so much higher than last year and found he had added Long Term Care Insurance premiums as a medical deduction. I had to show him where to enter it on the state return. Then he asked why I had two duplicate pension forms with different numbers on them. I told him they weren't duplicates but were forms from my two pensions, each showing a different income. I watched him laboriously type in the information for 11/2 hours until he told me his next appointment had been waiting, and I left. When I returned two days later to pick up my returns, I was told the charge was $235. I was shocked! I do not own property or a car and have no investments. In comparison, a friend who owns two properties and has numerous investments was charged $310 by an accountant. I will not be going back to H & R Block.

I used to always do my own taxes, but when I was laid off for a few months in 2010, I wanted to…read moremake sure that I had a professional do my taxes since I didn't know all the laws and rules with unemployment. That tax year, I was lucky to find Greg Vath at H&R Block in Bloomington. He put me at ease, both with his knowledge and expertise, but also with his demeanor. Greg is a Senior Tax Advisor with seven years experience and one smart person. His other professional career is very interesting (check it out on their website!) and provides us with some great conversation. But what I really appreciate about Greg is his knowledge and his personality. He provides the human touch. So last year when he helped me with my taxes, he found that I had filed something incorrectly the prior year, and helped me fix it so that I would receive additional money back! It's true what they advertise in their commercials! That sealed my trust in Greg and H&R Block. I went back this year, and once again, Greg found a way for me to leverage my HSA so that it was a win/win for me by making a contribution for 2011 and allowing me a tax benefit. I can't say enough positive things about Greg and H&R Block. It's well worth the money to pay someone to do your taxes, even if you are know what you're doing, or think you know what you're doing like me. And right now H&R Block is running a deal where you can get your return placed on a debit card for free instead of paying to have it direct deposited in your account. So I decided to try it out this year to see if it's worth it. The only down side I have found with the debit card is you can get charged monthly for non-use, so be aware of that if you safe your debit/gift cards up.

What we weren't told is that signing in SafeSend didn't mean the return was actually filed -- that step never happened on their end, and no one told us - therefore our taxes were not filed.

It's in this particular example where they suddenly become too busy to help and, most unbelievably started to send insulting emails. Really quite staggering for a small local business that presumably needs to build trust with the local community in order to succeed. I cannot warn you strongly enough to look elsewhere for competent accountants. You'd be far better off with TurboTax than trusting this incompetent firm with your finances and livelihood. Avoid.

Arin provided an extremely detailed and thorough preparation for my personal taxes. I was looking…read morefor a tax preparer while here in Minnesota, as I'm from out of state and needed someone to help prepare my taxes asap since tax day is just around the corner. Arin was presented to me through Yelp and I'm glad to have came across her business and worked with her. What she charges for her services is reasonable and I would say well worth it. She was responsive throughout the entire communication process while also preparing my taxes for e-file and she even helped save me a few thousands on what I initially owed! That's a winner right there! Arin you have made a life long customer, you are my tax advisor for years to come. Thank you for your professionalism and expertise!

He will happily tell you about how he believes the 2020 election was stolen and take every opportunity to praise Trump he possibly can. I lead with this because the quality of his work has seriously slipped. I keep catching errors and pointing them out and he can't be bothered to email (insists on phone calls, probably so there isn't a paper trail to show his incompetence). He misses deadlines constantly and the communication is abysmal. He needs constant reminders to finish work. He's literally just a figurehead at this point who barely does any work, passing it off to his underlings and doesn't bother to check their work. Don't give this guy your business - just another mediocre white guy who pretends to work hard but is really a lazy MAGA.
