Difficulty getting to live person. Even dealing with live person was bad.

Dont understand HRBlock operation. Leaves a lot to be desired.

Complaint

Hello, I would like to file a complaint against my tax expert, Christi Mills. She was completely inept and had to ask me the same questions repeatedly, like my last name and birthday, when she had it in front of her.

Also, her computer system was lagging, and her information and questions were unnecessary and did not match the timeline that I was there.

Whom I was married to, what address, nothing matched. Something is not right and I would like this looked into.

Tax professional filed wrong taxes on 2023, she has submitted a child tax credit plus me a a head of household, even though she was informed my ex husband claimed my child, she has informed me that the child credit wasnt submitted my ex husband. It caused a lot of issue and I will file a report. Please call me at (802)952-****.

My Block App

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had to start a new account with you guys using the My Block app. So, I initiated it and was able to access the new account.

Moreover, I was trying to get old tax returns that I needed. I went through the identity verification process, and I know very well that I'm entering the correct information. However, the system kept telling me that the information was incorrect and they couldn't verify my credentials. Thus, they failed to provide me what I needed in terms of past tax returns and asked to try again.

So, I repeated this process several times but ended up with the same results. Eventually, I was frustrated enough to call customer service. They informed me that it was a security glitch. You guys don't allow someone to start a new account and access the info because you guys store Social Security numbers.

I understand the reasoning, but why does the app repeatedly tell me that I'm inputting the wrong info so that I keep trying over and over, mistakenly thinking I'm typing something incorrect instead of informing me that I need to wait 24 to 48 hours to be able to access my past returns? This is utterly frustrating as it has done nothing but wasted my time. I needed those copies today, not in 48 hours. Verifying my identity should have been sufficient.

Honestly, I believe you should fix this issue. At the very least, you should post a notice about it on your site because, after talking to your representative, she divulged that she has received a ton of calls regarding this issue. I've filed my taxes through the years with you guys but am contemplating using another company.

Please fix this issue as soon as possible and I'll consider not taking my business elsewhere. Sincerely, a frustrated customer named Tony.

Customer service made every attempt to solve the problem. I think the problem was in H&R Blocks program and without any clear resolution cleared itself.

Got into physical tug of war with rep. who didn't want to give me my forms.

That was the reason I was there, to pick up my forms that she told me to come and get! Unreal

Original review Feb 25, 2025

Yes I have yet to receive a FULL refund from H & R Block for the year of 2023! As I stated before, since they told me that they couldn't complete it and turn it in, I have to pay someone else to file it for me.

Unreal this is so frustrating.

I've been with this guys for ALL of my life! About 35yrs!

Where are my 2023 documents? They are not in my acct

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Cant even ask a question why my 2023 tax documents are missing from h&r without having to upgrade and pay money? What a scam.

DO NOT waste money on these ppl. You cant talk to anyone at all, even to ask why they lost copies of my tax return last year.

User's recommendation: Do NOT use H & R block. You have to pay just to ask where your missing documents are

They have basically robbed me. I would never trust them with my money again.

H&R Block is a joke. They let someone steal my money and won't even refund it backs.

I've made a police report and everything. Even the merchant stil says they know my information was compromised & they still fail to give my funds back to me

Original review Jul 21, 2024

I've had a time with spruce with hand r block. They keep denying my claim even though I've got proof of not making these transactions and it's almost 6,000$.

So yes it's a lot of money but I even sent the email that the merchant sent to me ../saying that they know I didn't make these transactions and that my information has been compromised because I don't have an account with this merchant or anything so should have been a very easy claim to file but it's been months and they are doing nothing about it!!! I've read online where ppl have been going through the same thing

I used he block this year for my taxes thought I would give them another chance. But I was completely wrong.

I used their service told me I was doing the free tax return but I was completely charged not sure why I was charged but they charged me. To add insult to injury they made me sign up for spruce come to find out I never received my card. I used the mobile wallet for a day or two after that it would deny my transactions. But I looked and someone had been pulling money out of my account using the very card I never received.

I was out of town at the time. I even gave them proof I was not here when all that went about I even filed a police report I did everything they asked me to do yet they still keep denying my claim and not giving me a reason to why it's denied. Just saying the denial still stands if you ask me this company is going through the ringer and I am surely going to look into counsel on this matter. I was even told that they have access to your PIN number.

Someone on the phone told me the PIN number which to me made no sense. I have over 60 pictures of screenshots where I have been constantly reaching out phones calls and chats talking to different people each time got all their names and everything and was just getting the run around left and right.

This is a terrible company. My next step is to contact the irs and file fraud against them.

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I filed taxes with h and r block app, and paid a tax pro to review it, Chhandita Roy is her name.then after I had filed I got a 1099 r in the mail for a 401k withdrawal I had completely forgot about, so I notified my tax pro and she said to wait until I got my return and file a amended return, I asked if she could help me with that, and she never replied, so I waited probably at least a month maybe longer, then I asked her again, and she said she couldnt do that, that I had to go a local h and r block, well the person at my local h and r block cant help me because my file is locked to the original tax pro, Chhandita Roy, I need my file unlocked and sent to Jennifer tisdale at the Lake City SC office, so she can help do Chhanditas job that I already paid Chhandita to do. Us customer dont understand taxes, thats why pay comoainirs h and r block to help us do it, because we dont know how.

I dont feel like i should have to pay to file the amended return but I also dont feel Jennifer tisdale at the Lake City SC office should do it for free.

I already paid and got terrible customer service from Chhandita Roy .i paid for the extended service peace of mind plan and my mind is not a peace and my tax pro cant seem to help me. Im stressed out right now and a little pissed off.
