DO NOT USE H&R BLock... please take my waring. I dropped my taxes off in February. It is almost August and I am still trying to resolve by myself and it was their accountant's fault. The peace of mind is a joke they hype it up and when you actually need it they do not provide any assitance. DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON IT! When asked if the claims department is going to resolve my claim The lady working at the claims department said I really don't know. Not I will follow up and help you... just I don't know. Great customer service very reassuring it's just MY money I trust you with. She read the notes and the escalation team looked it over but never did anything. She suggested that I go to another HR block office to resolve. How can a company that deals only with taxes mess up and offer no solutions except go back to the same office that screwed it up. I am head of household straight up tax easy.... and they messed it up. A BASIC return and are still working on it in August. They should be ashamed. There are so many firms please use anyone except for HR Block. Allyson Allen read more

My Husband and I made an appointment two weeks prior, only to show up to our appointment with our tax person to not speak a word of English. That's fine in our opinion, however, after a half hour of still working on the intake information (that I tried to explain had been already filled out online) was misspelled we had to politely walk out. I pushed my phone over to assist her, and she still had my phone number, email and address incorrect on her screen. No offense, but I could see if we lived in Miami, Florida but we live in Loxahatchee. read more

The business practice of H&R Block is to upsell you at almost ever stage of the IRS or State tax return. There basic fee continue to rise and their professional agent review is useless. Not only did the professional review did not find even a $1 deduction, but missed deductions for State DMV fees, which were not in the original tax for review, and I had to ask if DMV fees are still tax deductable. I found no section to include DMV fee deductions during the process. read more

TAX SZN IS HERE... (and now extended to July, due to COVID-19) So where you do go? If you're like me and refuse to use Turbotax for fear of messing up your taxes and happen to live/work around the south bay - Sunnyvale area, then I strongly suggest you reach out to Jenny Liu from this H&R Block location to get the job done. Jenny has been my "little secret" since 2016 tax season after dealing with a filing audit from my previous tax preparer. Having gone through that whole experience, you quickly realize that even the smallest error could set off an audit, and it's worth your time and money to go to someone who gets it right every time. Jenny ended up telling me what triggered the audit the following year after checking my previously filed paperwork. She said it was simply due to the last preparer's mistake of not checking off one box! That was it, guys. No joke. Anyway, ever since I transitioned to Jenny as my main gal, my tax filing anxieties have gone away. As a matter of fact, I very much look forward to tax season now, just to see Jenny's smiling face. Not only will Jenny file your taxes correctly and efficiently, she is also open to giving you advice to help you increase your tax returns, based on your current situation. All you gotta do is just ask! With her CPA license and over 20 years of accounting expertise, I wouldn't trust anyone else. And best of all? I've noticed that I've almost always received my tax return within 1-2 weeks from the filing date. The moment I step out her office, I get an email stating my taxes have been approved, and wake up to glorious money in my account following a week or two later. I have friends who tell me stories of it taking almost a MONTH to get their money back after filing. Not with Jenny! She don't play. So, if you still haven't filed yet and need a reliable tax preparer, reach out to Jenny to solve your tax filing needs! + Initial appointment with Jenny may be a bit pricey, and which depends on the complexity of your taxes, but I promise it goes down after that! + Jenny always provides an over-the-top experience for her clients, and with that, her calendar is always booked as many return to her every year to file. I strongly suggest you call (408-739-2294) at least 3 weeks in advance to make an appointment. + Before your initial appointment, I STRONGLY suggest you have all your tax paperwork, stock documents, checking/savings accounts, etc etc all noted down or in paper for her to see. Also bring paperwork as far back as 3 years prior with you as well so she can review everything. The more documents you have ready for her to review, the less questions she will ask you. read more

Went to h&r block first there directions took me to Sunnyvale pd and when I did locate the office they said they couldn't help me went home jumped on line and the online tax preparer had no problem helping me filed all three years without a problem so if you want be sent on a wild goose chase for nothing I recommend h&r block if not I recommend anyone else!!!!!!! read more

This place sucks. I was referred to Baljinder Dhanjal, by another parent at my kids' school. I called him about a fairly simple issue, and he was extremely dismissive and discourteous. I was shocked, so much so that I went out of my way to tell him how highly he was recommended. I also literally couldn't even believe the language barrier (as another poster mentioned, and with multiple employees at this location) and how discouraged and pissed off I was after this phone call. I would stay away. Hiss. Boo. Grrr. read more

Do not go to this location. Made an appointment with a tax advisor and received the worst customer service experience from beginning to end. Do not expect to be treated with respect by the tax advisor either. read more

PLEASE READ B4 GOING to this H & R Block... I used H & R block for many years and was very happy. I never had so many issues as with the store in Sunnyvale. We decided that we would pay the $49 to get their help vs doing it all by ourselves- who wants to be in trouble with the IRS??? We were given WRONG INFORMATION, made errors on our return and not only did they gave us wrong information, now we could be in trouble with the IRS!!!!! We are still trying to figure out what's up really... There was a HUGE language barrier between the agent and us who did not understand our questions left us MORE confused. Because we followed the instructions the agent gave us, we found out the HARD WAY it was completely wrong!When we called (same day) to speak with someone a lady picked up and she was UNHELPFUL, disengaged, unsympathetic who said she can't do ANYTHING to help us out of the problem we are IN NOW!! We now have to deal directly with the IRS.. SHAME ON YOU H &R BLOCK! read more

I had my taxes done at the location on Williams Street, in Carson City NV. When I was done he told me my bill was $309. I asked how come it tripled from last year and he said I made a thousand more then last year, I said that shouldn't matter there was no more paper work involved it was exactly like the year before except a thousand dollars. So I paid $74 last year and $309. Will never go back. read more

I've been seeing Jenny Liu for 5 years now. She is excellent!! Every single time I have a question, she's always happy to help. Jenny definitely knows the tax laws through and through, and so far, all her recommendations have benefited me greatly. She is considerate and sincere. I'm so happy to have met her because my taxes are so easy to file now, and its all because of her! If you go to H&R Block, go see Jenny! read more

I've been seeing Mary S. at this location for many years now & she is just wonderful. We always chat about what has been going on with our lives for the past year while she does my taxes. She always has recommendations on investing for my future. Yes, this is part of her job BUT you can tell she does want her customers to be well off & comfortable in their future. She's very sincere. Minus 1 star for the price to do it all. A little over $100 ! YIKES!!!! Honestly though, I'd rather have a professional doing my taxes. I've *never* had any problems when working with her, ever. She's very thorough with everything, double & sometimes triple checks the work she's done to make sure we've got it all right :-) . THANK YOU, MARY! read more

My Mother has been working with you for months!!! Their is NO reason after someone takes her money off or out the account she Should have to wait Months!!' For you guys to give it back... It clearly states on the statement that she received from the card being used the name of the person who withdrew the money my mother has come into your office and told you plenty and many of times she does not know how this person continues to take her money out of the bank yet you continue to reassure her it would not happen again this is the second time and you still have not refunded read more

Being this is my first year filing tax in the state of California, I was in search of a new tax accountant. Yelp then was my next research and I saw the great reviews for this H&R Block in Sunnyvale and Jenny Liu seems like the person to go to. I had a business and also taxes were a little difficult since I still W2's from Texas and California. She went right to work and at the end did a fabulous job in helping me with my business refund. It is great to have a business while owing a side business. Overall I am very satisfy with her knowledge and work. She knows her stuff and will definitely come back to see her next year and the year after. You are awesome Jenny! read more

As citizens, no matter how distasteful it sometimes is, we all share the fiscal responsibility to support this great nation. None of us look forward to it, none of us particularly like it but no matter how painful, it is our duty! I personally take this responsibility seriously. I was introduced to Jenny Liu several years ago and I must say that within a matter of moments she exceeded my expectations. Jenny is genuinely warm and friendly and not only puts you at ease but at least for me, made an unsavory task, tasteful. However, don't let the quick wit and easy smile fool you. After the obligatory small talk, Jenny was quick to get down to business. Once we began it was strictly business and when we started to work it was just that, "work". She is a goldmine of knowledge who possesses a warehouse expertise and when it comes down to looking at by best interest while paying my fare share, Jenny is a no nonsense business professional who takes no prisoners. Jenny is a pro's pro. She is the kind of business person who would be successful in any arena but her expertise is tax preparation. I'm a hard taskmaster, difficulty to get along with and not easy to please but no B.S. this women is great and I only rate her a 5 because I can't rate her a 6! read more

Jenny Liu is the best! She is so sweet and super honest. We initially found her on yelp because we were new to the South Bay and really needed help figuring out how we should do our taxes. She was super quick, knew exactly what we needed and even helped us find deductions that we didn't know were there. She has a great sense of humor and treated my husband and I like we were family. Even though we're living in the peninsula, we find it is worth the drive to see her. read more

I have been using H & R Business for more than 10 years. This year, I have encountered a problem when trying to access my files and l keep getting "The program has encountered an unexpected error and needs to close." I have not been able to get to customer service and unable to find an email address to get help. read more

Having been sent a link back from yelp, I am quite surprised anyone would rate an important tax comment as funny. I finally did my state taxes by hand ( old school) in order to itemize the state and not the federal. I simply wanted to share that it isn't always best to file the same way for both state and feds...just do your own math and see. read more

I never got my tax return. It's been 21 days. I get no help from the tax associates. Don't go here and don't get a card. The card cost $39.99 and no tax return. read more

Jenny Liu is the best! My mom has been doing her taxes for years now & I did my first tax refund this year & my mom referred me to her. She is a pro a what she does & I'm glad she was the first person to do my taxes. See you next year Jenny Liu! read more

Used their online tax service and paid them. Paid the IRS with a credit card thru them. A few days later I was told they rejected my return. So I had to mail in my taxes, by H&RB mad it very, very difficult to print out the taxes in mailable form. I also sent another check because H&RB left me in no-man's land, could not proceed no determine my status with e-payment. So I'm out a lot of $$ and have to deal with the IRS to get it back. TFN H&RB, telling everyone to avoid your services all together. Never again. read more

Jenny Liu of H&R Block has had over 20 years tax filling experiences, she is solid, knowledgeable, professional, detailed originated, friendly to all her customers, with outstanding qualities and exceed expectations, she is the best asset to H&R Block, she can be reaching out at 408-739-2294, Sunnyvale office. Jenny Liu is better than the best ! read more

I went to H&R Block this season after years of using TurboTax (oops). My experience with Sukanya (Sue) Ramesha was very positive. I found her to be experienced, thorough, and considerate. Basically, she's smart, a good person, and easy to get along with...which sounds basic, but can be hard to find these days! My return was complicated (e.g., sale of out-of-state rental, some mistakes from prior years) and frankly, made me cringe just thinking about it. It took a couple of sessions, but with some joint patience and perseverance, I can now breathe a sigh of relief! read more

I called into a location nearby and was told to walk-in & there wouldn't be a wait at all. When I got there, they told me they wouldn't have time to help my husband and I, which was a disappointment. Well, we drive down the street to this location and met Nervin. He was extremely professional, efficient, and easily understood our needs. He ended up giving us honest and definitely needed advice about how to file our taxes. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to this stuff so for a tax preparer to break things down for me and has the patience to do so and answer all my questions, is amazing. Thanks so much, Nervin!! read more

I had my taxes prepared by a CPA for a few years in a row and paid around $175 for tax preparation. When a relative suggested H&R Block and since it was closer to my home, I decided to give them a try. I was charged $599 and they took off $25 because I had a coupon. Unfortunately, I wasn't informed, in advance, that the charge was going to be so high until too late to do anything about it. Such a burn! If offered the option, I would rate H&R Block a zero. I would never use them for tax preparation again, EVER! read more

I went to 717 e. El Camino Real for help. Service was so pathetic that I would have given a zero if I could have. In the past I have always had good experiences with H&R Block so I thought this would be the place to help me with my tax issues. I called to make the appointment and the lady taking the calls told me she didn't want to hear what I needed help with because she couldn't help me, and to just make an appointment. Later, I received an email asking me to fill in information about what I needed, but when I came in for my appointment I got laughed at as if she didn't receive the information I was asked to fill out. It feels really bad to need help, only to get laughed at like I'm an idiot and then to have to sit and listen to a story about another customer who needed similar help and how uneducated he was. I can't believe the tax lady said I was educated but the other man wasn't and we have similar issues that she can't help with. I felt like complete crap when I left. Hey lady, don't take late appointments if you're tired or don't do it at all if you aren't going to treat everyone with respect. Educated or not, It sucks to be laughed at and no one should be treated like this when they are coming to such an expensive and well known place for help. It's your job to help with our tax needs, regardless of how stupid you think we are for making mistakes or needing extra help. I feel like shit! Thanks lady for ruining my day and probably that poor guy you complained about too. I'm sure he felt like shit when he left too. I feel nauseous from this experience. I wish I knew your name so other people could be warned. You're aweful! read more

Jenny J. Liu was very helpful and went above and beyond. She greeted us graciously and was greatly reassuring. She completed my requests efficiently and replied to my concerns meticulously. I highly recommend her if you want a great experience in H&R block read more

I hate to ruin their perfect record here since it looks like they have been good for most people. I came in today for what I thought was a simple consultation... Actually, I thought I had seen on the commercials that there was a free consultation first consult... maybe I was wrong... I'm not someone who expects someone to do hard work for free, but really I'm not going to pay $150 per hour before I even know if this tax professional is able to consult on my personal tax situation. I recently opened my own business and when I came in, what I wanted to do was discuss what my business is, and see if the person was knowledgeable about how to find the best ways to categorize my deductions. Basically, I showed the person what I had started to see if it was correct, what she did was print out a tax form and tell me that this is how you need to "categorize"... Ok, if I knew what those things meant, I would just do my taxes myself... When I told her I didn't know what those things meant and that's why I'm here, she mentions that "You know that I have to charge you for this session, it's usually $150 an hour but I'll charge $30" I said, "I thought the initial meeting was a consultation" she just blinked at me, laughed, and said no... Now, $30, I could have paid that, would have paid that, but when someone goes to someone for help, doesn't feel like they have any idea about what I'm asking and then laughs when I explain that I thought the initial meeting was free... I just decided to get up and leave. I can't tell you how bummed I am about this... I expected more from H&R Block. read more

I called and asked when were there doing the early cash advance and Jill on west market st location says today so I scheduled appointment for later that day I get there just to be told I was scheduled for an Emerald appt that's not what I asked for that's not an advance on my taxes I don't like waiting my time and being inconvenienced she did not ask me is that what I wanted and I made it clear what I wanted people don't do there job correctly and they don't have to worry about me coming back I can do my own taxes for free and wait on the money read more

Jenny Liu helped me with my taxes. She is outstanding, responsible, and knowledgeable. She thoroughly explained the tax return process to me and helped provide me suggestions for future tax situations. I do not hesitate to recommend her others that need help with their tax returns. read more

Jenny is the best!!! I couldn't have asked for a better tax professional!

seems like all good reviews for this place but ,as always, I will be honest about my experience. I made an appointment with sharon fang, I showed up on time and waited for her for about 15 minutes- which would have been no big deal, but when she got to me she said that I booked an hour slot and my taxes would take more time so we would have to quit before all was finished (remember I waited 15 minutes for her to finish with someone else) She then proceeded to work too hurried in my opinion, and she is very hard to understand anyway, so we completed very little that night. she was very frazzled I scheduled another appointment, and she warned me that we would again only have an hour because she had another client after me, so time would be important....whose time ? mine or hers anyway, I showed up a little early this time for my 9 am appointment and found that she was again with another client so I waited...and waited....and waited until EXACTLY 9:22 and left quietly...understanding now that sharon, and this office, were not the one for me twice she had told me that time would be short, so show up on time ready to go, and twice she cut out more than 25% of my time unapologetically. except for when she actually had the nerve to call my cell at around 9:40 WONDERING where I was. where the heck do you think I am lady????????? So take it for whatever its worth. that was my experience I am sorry to say read more

I went to H&R block to find someone who could help me do my taxes since, as a foreigner, it's not easy to understand how taxes work here in the US. Jenny Liu took care of my case and I can say that I'm very pleased with the way she handled my case. She took the time to explain everything and was very patient with me. I recommend anyone to go see Jenny Liu. See you next year for my taxes again. read more

Just an update that Sue has moved to the H&R Block down the street at 456 E El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA. So don't freak out like me if you show up at this location and find out she's gone and then despair that your go-to tax person is forever lost and you have to go on the run because of tax evasion. BREATHE! Sue is a hop, skip and a jump away down the street. All is right with the world. read more

Worst scammers ever.. please use Turbotax, I went to @Smita Joshi and asked clearly upfront what was the charge, for one simple W2 form with no additonal work or form they charged $400 and when i said no.. she wanted a consulting fee of $180. read more

I get ripped off yearly here. I am lazy. I get robbed. I dont go to jail for not doing my taxes. Win? Meh.

I've been here and saw Jenny Liu. She's extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in getting my taxes done. She's very professional and I'm extremely satisfied with the service. read more

Thank you Sue for your help she was able to help me get my fullest refund back as well as help me with my last years return ! I have such a peace of mind and relief thank you so much !! read more

This is a review for Sue Ramesha at H&R Block in Sunnyvale! It was so wonderful to work with her. She was very helpful and clear in her explanations. She answered all my questions. She took extra time to explain more to me, being new to small business ownership. She did everything she could to help me out. I am so thankful I found her. For once, I won't be dreading next tax season quite as much. I know what I need to do for the year. Thank you Sue! read more

This is my second year working with Sue Ramesha at H&R Block in Sunnyvale. She did a wonderful job preparing my taxes and went the extra mile to accommodate my schedule and answer all of my questions. She's friendly and professional. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Sue! read more

The way that I figure it, everyday people have no clue what they don't know when it comes to taxes, and what they don't know could hurt them [financially]... for years and years to come. That's why I go to Sue Ramesha at H&R Block. I don't have a lot of money, and the money that I do have is bookmarked for other expenses, but I make it a point to visit Sue every year to get my taxes done. With her, I know that I will get amazing work and honest advice, all at the lowest possible price (when considering that I'm using a professional service). Yes, it costs a lot of money compared to other "free" or $35 services, but if something does happen, H&R Block will fight for you. How much might you pay in court fees and attorney expenses to fight for yourself if you don't have that protection? Far more than you'd have spent on hiring a professional in the first place, and when it comes to professional service, Sue is the best of the best! She is personable, extremely kind, straight-forward, and makes it a point to ensure that you're well informed and extremely well taken care of! You probably have car insurance, renter's insurance, and medical insurance, so why not tax "insurance"? Make sure that you're covered in a worst-case scenario. Go see Sue, today! ^_^ read more
