My only complaint re: One H&R Block CPA at a Victoria Texas office. We have moved A Lot, filed extensions and gotten behind in filings due to multiple moves. And we are Old. Until meeting Melanie in Victoria, Tx, we’ve been thrilled with all H& R Block agents, esp. those in Atlanta Ga. & Carson City Nv. However….We’ve had two very bad experiences with One CPA named Melanie in Victoria Texas: 1)She was very rude when she helping with our 2019 taxes. So we then hired a private CPA who charged less with 2021-2023 taxes than Melanie charged for 2019. We hadn’t yet completed 2018 taxes when we were in Nevada because they were Very complex, with Many deductions plus many needed documents were misplaced. A wonderful CPA in Carson City Nv. helped us file our 2020 taxes and was attempting to complete our complex 2018 taxes. We left him about 70% of what he requested, he charged us $403.00 and his office scanned what we left him. Unfortunately, we never found the needed extra docs & then moved to Texas. Three months ago, I found our bank’s copy of the canceled check I’d ordered to get a refund. Then The IRS said they wanted 2018 completed. 2).I returned to Melanie to see if they could complete 2018 with what they had, knowing there would be no refund, & asking what it would cost. I never asked her to complete it– I only asked if she could find what was scanned in Carson City & what the charge would be. She then quickly located the scanned files & she disappeared for 15 minutes. When she came back, she said “It’s Done.” and wanted us to pay her another $400! –For WHAT??? I said, “Can you get the $400.00 from the Carson City office?” She said “No, You must pay me and apply to them for a refund.” I then contacted the Carson City Office & spoke to
Athena who was very nice, saying they Would issue a refund.
We would still like to complete 2018–w/o all needed docs.
Melanie has a Terrible attitude and We will never return to that office! We would like to work with another H & R Block CPA to get 2018 taxes done. We no longer have the scanned document originals. Only H&R Block has them. Would you please tell me why it cost $400.00 for 15 minutes of work? We just completed 2024 taxes with a private CPA and it cost only $260.00. We look forward to a remedy to this problem Thank You!
