H&R Block

My taxes were a little more complex than usual this year, so I decided to try H&R Block for the first time.
Besides the cost, which is considerably more than I used to pay a CPA friend, it was a good experience. It’s hard to have strong feelings about a place like this, but it was pretty painless.
I made an appointment online on the day of, which was super simple, and it told me who my ‘tax professional’ would be and gave me a confirmation number. In retrospect I wouldn’t have needed the appointment since the place was pretty much empty.
The little office is tucked in a shopping plaza on Hillsboro, I’d never realized it was there before. I got there a few minutes early and my ‘tax professional’ was ready for me. She talked through all my questions and did the return right in front of me in record time.
Everyone in the office was friendly and I was in and out before my lunch hour was over.
When I have a simple return next year I’ll go back to some free Turbo Tax or something, but it wasn’t terrible for this year’s situation.
