I used H&R Block last year after my normal accountant became sick and was unable to prepare my…read morereturn. I can't speak on all the tax prep employees but I was assigned to Barbara and was told she was one of their top people. I ended up owing the IRS $2,800+ and the state $150+ and the price I paid for the service was twice what I was quoted. This year, I returned to an accounting firm and I only owed the IRS $700 and received a refund from the state with no real differences between the two years and the fee wasn't that much higher. My new firm is going to review H&R Blocks return and let me know how many things were missed that could have saved me money.

In March of this year, I had H&R do my taxes. I was amazed when I received a bill from the IRS for…read morenearly $2400 in May, 2022. I made an appointment to try and understand this. The person I spoke with could not find any reason why this bill came to me. Only later did I realize that I should have been making quarterly statements and had missed the one at the end of April. Not only did H/R not remind me, but did nothing to help cover that--such as providing a paper document to accompany my check. I skipped the June payment because I believe my income will be dramatically less than the last few years. Why wasn't I alerted to this oversight? Then, they reminded me that I need to do this for September. I cannot get into my information on line. The system is confusing. And confusing. And, yes, confusing. Try to make an appointment? No one is ever there or answers the messages. I suppose I might as well do my own taxes in the future.

We were very disappointed with the services at Morrison and Associates. We hired them to do our…read morebusiness and personal taxes for 2014, and the experience was not a good one. We met with Bill in Feb, to discuss switching our tax services to them. To be fair, Bill was very nice, and he seems very knowledgeable, which is why we made the decision to switch, but things didn't go well after the first meeting. Our corporate taxes were due on March 15th, and they weren't ready until the day before, and there were mistakes made, so we had to file an extension, costing extra money, and this is a tiny, tiny company with no payroll, so it is not as if our taxes are complex at all. During this process, I worked with a person there who did our business return, and as they were adjusting the journal entries in a different manner than we have done the last 8 years, I had questions. I could never get an answer that made sense, and multiple times, after doing my own research, I had to respond that what she was saying was wrong. She would check with Bill, and it turned out that she was wrong. The fact that I have to double check her answers does not give me confidence in having them manage our taxes. After that, we waited for our personal returns, as well as the return for my daughter. Over the next month, I called 4 or 5 times, inquiring as to the status. Sometimes they thought they were almost done, sometimes they thought my daughter's were done but not sure if they were filed, but they said Bill would know, but he is out, and they will call me back. The problem, no one ever called back. Our concern was that if we were going to owe a lot in taxes, I don't want to find out on April 15th I have to come up with a lot of money. Finally taxes were done on April 13th, I went to pick them up, and not only did they have the automatic payment set up for my taxes, but estimated tax payments set for 2015 (which would pay way more than necessary). I had explained upfront, that I pay estimated taxes on my own, based on my earnings which vary. I reminded them of this and they said they would remove the automatic estimated payments. I also noted they were taking part of my state refund and using it to prepay my state taxes for 2015. I asked why would we do this, if I already get a refund every year, that just makes for a bigger refund? They had no answer, but said they would fix it so I received the entire refund Two days later I check my bank account and $2,100 was automatically paid for next years taxes. I called them. They said they made a mistake but oops, too late to undo it. I had to contact the bank to dispute the payment. A week later, I got my State refund...minus the prepayment for next years taxes...I guess they forgot to correct that too. My final complaint came with my bill for services. Before switching, I asked what they charged, and while they said it varies, they gave me the base rates. I explained what I paid previously, and they gave me the impression it would be similar. Guess what? Double. and not just on a small personal return, this was $1400 vs $700 from my previous accounting firm. I understand not giving an exact quote, but when I tell you what I paid last year, and provide copies of my returns so you can see the work, I think you could mention that your services are likely to double for this amount of work. Maybe that is too much to expect. Still, considering our taxes took twice as long to be completed, and I could never get good answers on my questions from anyone other than Bill, and they didn't return phone calls, does not make it a service worth twice as much. Premium price is Ok for premium service, but certainly not for bad service. I let the owner know we were disappointed in the services and why, I never heard back. Though recently an employee contacted me about filing payroll taxes. I explained, I have no employees, no payroll, never have and so I do not need to file.

We have been a long time client of Morrison & Associates and go back to when he was the only person…read morein the 2nd Floor Batavia location. We were always pleased with his service, knowledge, professionalism and advice. Up until this year, in our minds he was the tops. Unfortunately, recently, things really went downhill. When called, he never returned calls or might after two or three messages were left. When emailed, you may or may not get a response. It was constantly having to try to get him to resolve an error made on our 2016 taxes. When you did finally speak with him, different versions of what was done or not done were told. When in actuality, after months of chasing (Feb. thru June), nothing had been done. Finally at the end of June the paperwork was done and we were told to pick it up at the office. When we got there no one at the front desk or in the office was aware of the situation and nothing was left upfront by Bill to pick up and he was not in the office. Needless to say, the Apex team was most helpful in resolving this for us and we finally got the paper so we could send off our check. Understand errors occur - we are human. However, where my disappointment lies is in the huge, out of character lack of response and professionalism shown. Not the Morrison and Associates we had come to respect and love! The delay in response and preparation resulted in additional interest owed. So sorry to see a long term business relationship take this turn.
