1 starH&R Block: Kankakee County Illinois offices. I was in the process of completing my 2024 federal tax filing. Once I had received the last bit of information to finalize my return I made an appointment to do so. I was informed my return had already been filed. This was impossible as I had not met with my tax preparer for the final review. It was revealed that my return had been fraudulently submitted by someone through H&R Block. My preparer walked me through some actions to begin resolution which I completed. I called about a week later to get some more advice and assistance. I received what is commonly known as the “BUM’S RUSH”. Each and every H&R Block passed me off to another; receptionist to advisor - advisor to manager - manager to local stores’ team leader - local leader to District Manager……NOTHING, no call backs, no emails, no text messages. Nothing indicating or resembling a concern for my dilemma. A dilemma that occurred on H&R Block’s watch. A known security breach of my personal data gleaned from H&R Block. I hope Jeffrey J. ***** II president and chief executive officer reads this. I think he should be aware of what’s happening out “in the field”. Thank you.Review fromSteven M

1 starThe online filing is a ripoff. The charge you before you finalize your return, then steal you money when you let them know they did your taxes wrong. Tried to get a refund and was denied. Went to Turbo take and didn't owe the amount block came up with. Tried to get a refund again and they quit talking to me. Will never use again and don't recommend they, they steal your hard earned money.Review fromJustine L

1 starIf I could give this place a 0, I would. Long story but worth the read. At the end, I was supposed to owe "$7,000). I did not think much of it because this was the first time I had went to H&R block and had someone I did not know do my taxes. I left the store, was looking over it and realized they had made a MAJOR mistake. I went back in, had the accountant look over it. Her name was TERRY, older lady. I had her go back over it, and found out that she had used SOMEONE ELSES TAX INFORMATION. This was a whole different person- different social security number. She tried to play if off as "I was not able to read it very well", and did not take any accountability (taking advantage of younger people). Turns out after she took the OTHER PERSONS tax info out I only owed $121. I went to a more professional H&R Block to have them check to make sure this location did not screw me over AGAIN. I constantly called and talked to the "manager" MANNY for over a month and nothing got completed. I went back in to try and get the $315 I paid for back, because they made a MAJOR mistake, and he did not care. He was very rude, and unprofessional. Trying to say it was my fault that I made the mistake when they violated HIPPA, and the lady by inserting someone else's tax information onto mine. I paid for a service to be done because they are "experts", not to supervise them at their own job! I also contacted corporate and spoke to the district manager of Kissimmee. She claimed she filed a report to the escalation team. I waited and waited to hear back from them. Attempted to call her back to find out what was going on, and she refused to answer for weeks. Still haven’t heard from her, and probably never will. Very disappointing. No apology for the mistakes they made. So, unless you want someone to make a MAJOR mistake on your taxes, and then not care about it, I recommend not to go here.Review fromKristen B

1 starI filed my 2021 taxes with HR Block on Lee Jackson Highway in Fairfax VA. The person who filed the taxes made a mistake on the taxes such that I had to pay back taxes along with interest on both federal and state taxes equaling over $5,000. HR Block has refused to return any of my calls or acknowledge my complaints. I have called over 20 times in the past three months and no one has called me back or responded to me in any way. This customer service is outrageous! Every time I call I am told that I will be contacted in 3-5 business days but I have never heard from anyone. I have been given 3 escalation numbers but I never have heard from anyone. Now I am being told that they will not pay the interest on the mistake that they made nor will they refund my tax fee that I paid to file the taxes. HR Block is a scam and they have zero interest in treating their customers correctly.Review fromMelissa V

1 starThis franchise for my tax preparation. I asked for my refund to be directly deposited. I put a copy of my check in the "tax pro's" hand to copy the information she missed a digit resulting in no return still. If she did the job right I would have a had a return a week later now almost Memoril Day still no return. The company handled the situation so poorly I will never use them again.Review fromJenny S

1 starI have used HR Block for years and ran into a slightly more complicated tax situation this year, so opted for the Tax Pro review, which was an additional cost. I signed up 5 days before the filing deadline, which I was allowed to do so and did not receive any information that there would be an issue with the timeline. I didn't hear from my tax pro other than the initial intro message. I tried messaging the day before the deadline and got no response. I called customer support on tax filing day and was provided my tax pro's phone number. I was able to get ahold of my tax pro later that morning and was guaranteed everything would be filed by the deadline that night. I heard nothing else until getting an email at around 3pm saying there was a technical issue with the program and my pro was working with technical support. I called my pro that night and was forced to file an extension due to the failure of the program technical issues. I asked my pro why I was being forced to file an extension as it was still early and was told as long as I walk through the steps they'll try to grab it to get it filed that night and I would be called right back to confirm that. I did not receive a call. I tried calling back repeatedly with no answer. It wasn't until later that night did I receive an email, not a call, that my taxes had been filed but the extension would apply. I worked with customer service to file a complaint, and to request to have the extra tax pro payment refunded and was told I'd hear from them in 5 business days. I was not called back as promised. I reescalated my complaint and my case was denied via email. I called the number provided in the email and was told "they" reviewed my case and it was denied since my taxes were filed and accepted. I asked how I could reach "they" and was told I couldn't. HR Block was unwilling to refund part of what I paid to file my taxes after not delivering what the tax pro promised.Review fromLauren B

1 starWorst experience EVER and I’m not exaggerating. My husband and I normally do our taxes on Turbo Tax, however when we completed them we didn’t think the amount was correct. We decided to go to HR Block to see what amount they calculated. Side note: we never planned on having them submit our taxes. We just wanted to see the amount they calculated to see if we were close with the number turbo tax received. While at HR block I received the amount they calculated and NEVER signed anything. I told them if we decided to use there services we would contact them. Another side note: Their guarantee is they will complete your taxes, but if you don’t want to use them, you don’t have to. Anyway, I never signed anything and my husband definitely didn’t because he wasn’t even with me. A month later we try to submit our taxes through turbo tax, but it wouldn’t let us. Come to find out HR Block submitted our taxes WITHOUT our consent!!! We obviously contacted them once we found out and they basically said “oops!” We had to work with them for another month to try and have our taxes amended to reflect what we should have actually had to pay. It was a mess! Don’t ever go there. They don’t look at everything you can use to get more money back.Review fromWilliam S

1 starI have always used H&R Block throughout my military service and continued to use them after I retired in in 2022. I used the office at 1407 Wade Hampton Blvd. As a retiree on a limited income due to my disabilities every dollar counts. This office hires "tax professionals" that were unaware of state laws governing taxation. These preparers submitted state taxes for the 2023 and 2024 tax years. They were totally unaware that the state enacted a law where military pensions are not taxed by the state. Who knows how long it will take for my monies to be returned to me. I will never recommend this office/business to others. Stay away if you value your financial stability.
