So I set an appointment in LaPlata originally, and received a call moving me to Waldorf. My appt was 9am today, they no showed me. I waited for 30 minutes and left two messages. The entire day went by and no one answered all day, or bothered to return a phone call. Absolutely frustrating! So I made an appointment somewhere else and just wanted to share my experience with others. Good luck!
My husband and I did our taxes last year at this location and we had an amazing experience. But not today. We went in thinking we were going to get our taxes done, and the lady that helped us, Wen, told us our daycare expense did not count because we pay my mother. I explained that it is my mother’s income and she has used that income to do her taxes. She then proceeded to say that it is consider to be a gift and not an expense. Wen finally went over to another agent and the agent explained that it can be an expense we just needed to provide my mother’s information. We decided to walkout as we cannot pay an H&R Block who does not know what is required to taxes.
Mrs. Joyce has been doing my taxes for a few years and she is amazing. Very professional and courteous. She makes sure she goes over everything even though I have been to her for the last few years. She is always positive.
My tax PREP Karen Sickel~ Poindexter was very helpful and friendly
Alisha Coates, my tax professional. I am loyal to her and I will continue to utilize H&R Block as long as she is there. She has prepared my taxes for the last 4 or five years.
In 1989 four years after getting married doing our own Taxes became challenging so, HR Block was where we landed I wonder how many of their Customers have been 30 year plus Clients? In Santa Clara CA they said to go to Premium (year round) Offices best preparers. From 1989-2019. Finally by the time we had our Taxes prepared by Kathy, whom I still chat with, 2004-2010, we had two homes in two States, Forrestry Land in Maine, depreciation on Farm Equipment...very complex Returns and she prepared them flawlessly. In fact from 1989 to 2011, regardless of home bought/sold, and other complexities; as far as the IRS and State Agencies involved our Taxes had always been Filed perfectly. We paid a lot, got Peace of Mind but never used it. When you work with a Preparer anywhere they know you quickly simply by looking at your records. How you keep, bring and present them in Office.Their business is predicated on the Customer providing correct records. The Preparer being current and versed on CURRENT Tax code and having completely up to date Software. There were many times when Kathy entered information where her Software literally alerted to something from prior year, something that she needed to put in, or put in that was no longer allowed. Back to 2011 every Preparer we went to had Software alerts like that.Our difficulties, again with 30 years of NO ISSUES, began when we moved to Maryland. We went to the Premium Offices at Festival Square, Waldorf MD 2012. The Preparer makes a boneheaded error first year, then in 2019 we were notified Federal a tax 2017 Audit.We were kept from our Preparer forced to meet with an unprofessional woman who accused us of forcing/bullying our Preparer to put false information in. She sided with information listed in the Audit that is wrong, you absolutely CAN claim Tolls, Mileage and Parking. IRS should know that, why didn’t HRB Bully Squad know? She (yelling) called us every name in the book. Wrongly we thought this behavior was coming from this Office. No it went all the way up to Kansas City HQ. Our loyalty meant nothing. Now we were their Liability, insulting and demoralizing us and denying every promise was their Business Protocol! This Company changed it’s moral compass when it started giving Loans on Returns. We had to be out regardless that the IRS wouldn’t have paid any attention to our 2017 return had our Preparer not made two errors in our first 3 yrs in MD.Our audit stared July 2019 and they wanted more than $9000. They sent us a check for $200-$250, sent zero accounting with it. When pressed, as rudely and unprofessionally as you an imagine, Ben tells me it’s due to State Tax errors? Our Audit was Federal. They offer a STANDARD of assistance, and with the additional payment of “Peace of Mind” further protections/assistance/financial reimbursements. Their language is ambiguous intentionally, you can’t do anything when they won’t help. Two years, and $1500-$2000 in Fax costs, and $2000 Photocopy/Certified Mail Costs? The IRS closed the audit. All our deductions were allowed and they found our records to be copious and stellar. WE ARE HONEST PEOPLE and HR Block lied!HR Block IS NOT BBB MEMBER. They charge you for Services, for Peace of Mind, but you have to hire an Attorney if they don’t stand by it. The way they make you go away is by treating you like dirt, like you’re a liar, thief, cheat WHEN ITS THEIR JOB TO PROTECT YOU because that’s what you paid them to do. If they think your Documents aren’t correct, sufficient or going to cause Audit their RESPONSIBILITY IS TO DECLINE your preparation. But they take your money, then abuse you. Now I will file with MO Attorney General, FTC and USAG against HR Block because what they did was immoral and they take money without providing the promises. We should have been reimbursed our out of pocket fees and costs related to the Audit including all Faxes, Copying, and Mail, and we deserve a written apology. It was HRB that lied.
Tish was amazing and went far and beyond to make my experience the best and this was my first time using H&R block.
The tax preparer was extremely helpful and answered any questions I had pertaining to my tax information.
The customer service was wonderful!
Ms. Hicks always ensure that I am updated on all deductions and elections I choose.
Excellent help. Very professional. Very courteous. Very knowledgeable.
Donald did a great job and was very fast at getting everything taken care of while informing me of how my taxes were being prepared
Preparer was personable and well prepared but as I am a military retiree I just found out that I could have had the same preparation for a lot less than what I paid
Pamela was wonderful and will recommend her to my friends, family, and co-workers.
Alisha Coates our tax analyst in Waldorf Md, was very professional, knowledgeable and courteous.
Absolutely love the Block; used you all for nearly 20 years.
Process was quick and easy. I made an appointment and was done in less than an hour.
My tax preparer ( Thomas Roberts) failed to send my returns via direct deposit as Ive done in previous years. Didnt even ask. After 5 weeks still waiting for a check by mail. If you get this guy, PLEASE make sure you check how you want your tax refunded, because he will not ask you.
The service that Im very satisfied with for the past 5 years.
My tax advisor - Julie Rhodes is simply AWESOME.....PERIOD!!!
The reason why I would most likely not return isn’t because of the service I received. I thought Ms. Karen was awesome! She was pleasant and helpful, and did everything she could to help me, to include attempting to giving me a discount. But because the system would not allow her to do so, instead of paying $168.00, I had to pay 258.00.
Its so easy and tax pros are very knowledgeable
Mr. Roberts was knowledgeable and personable. Enjoyed working with him.
The thorough review given to my tax preparation
Because our tax preparer is Awesome. Julie Roades
Everyone was professional and helpful just keep up the good work
Because Pamela Hicks is the best. Period!
Ive worked with H&R Block for the past year. Very happy customer.
My agent was very professional, she gave me an up front price and looked for all tax breaks.
The tax preparer is very professional, polite and explains the procedures.
Don Dyer. He is a delight to work with.
The person who checked me was every patient in explaining things to me.
Not much interaction or good response times, response time lacking resulting in late return.
Alistair Coates was very professional. Showed me my options on how to file .
My tax person was very professional,I will return to see her next year
You guys were professional and knowledgeable.
Very convenient service from very professional people. Ive worked with H&R for several years now, first working in office with my tax professional and after having moved across the country, remotely. Always fast and professional service and that extends into their online services. My tax professional is very knowledgable and works to ensure my tax returns are filed completely and accurately. These days, I simply upload my documents and my taxes are completely for me; this year the process took less than 24hrs and all from the comfort of my house.
The speedy and accurate service.
Very knowledgeable, helpful and easy process.
Bonnie was really GREAT..!!
Always a excellent experience well knowledgeable
Great and prompt customer service!
Wonderful service and great employees.
Price. I always forget how expensive it is. Everyone shouldnt pay the same price if my taxes are very basic and take 10 minutes to transfer from w2 to computer it shouldnt still cost over 300$
The professional who completes our return is fantastic!
Pamela Hicks was very friendly and also answered all of our questions not to mention tips moving forward for next year.
Do not go to H&R block the lady Joyce screwed up my boyfriends taxes. She has him in the red on state and federal. 1. She did not add or ask about any schedule C income or expenses that he has. 2. She down the wrong address after he gave her his ID 3. She put down the wrong county. 4. She put down that he is a partial residence in MD when in fact he has lived in MD most of his 48 years on this earth. The only thing she did was put in his W-2 all wrong information. Granted I told him not to go to H&R block because my brother-in-law is suing them for screwing up his taxes and this is in another state. Enter at your own risk!
I was pleased with the service that I received.
My Tax Professional Ms. Best is the absolute greatest tax preparer. Very great service and skill. I would refer her to all of my family and friends.
Very understandin and very paient
Professional and punctual.
I love working with Alisha. She is knowledgeable in all things tax related. She answered my many questions and provided me with tons of insight for the future. She is awesome. I have worked with her for the past 4 years and I look forward to working with her every year.
Efficient, professional and quick.
Don Dyer is excellent in providing me tax support and done very quickly.
Gives me a peace of mind
My rep (Joyce Best) was very warm, patient, and friendly. She made the processing smooth and easy.
Very nice person
Julie is awesome! Kind, sweet, knowledgeable, patient - I would not trust anyone else to do my return
Julie Rhoades is Awesome
Andrea is great at preparing my taxes but due to my weird work schedule it may be better for me to try My Block online next year.
The rep I worked with was amazing, informative, friendly, and just such a great experience, and this is coming from somebody who owes a lot of taxes LOL. Really enjoyable experience!
Joyce Best did an excellent job preparing my taxes and her professionalism and customer service skills.
Because I really like the tax preparer Julie and how she keeps us informed on everything we need to do
Love the great customer service and Don has assisted me with my taxes for the past few years..
Because I have been with h&r block for over 10 years and never had a problem.
Ms Andrea Fowler is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable in her field. She was patient and informative. This is our 2 time working with her and the experience was very memorable as well as pleasant.
Very happy with the personal service Eileen has provided us for a number of years now.
Very friendly and helpful
I am firmly convinced you charge too much for time spent.
Quick and easy process
I just love Julie Rhoades. She is so polite and professional.
Because the tax preparer explained to me how i can recieve a refund next year instead of not recieving a refund. Ms.Joyce is very professional and she explains everything in detail while preparing your taxes. Also she lets you know if your not recieving an refund how you can improve getting a refund for the following year.
Fast and easy!
Julie Rhoades is a beautiful human being. She is always very professional and approachable. Customer service is superb. Will always go to her for my taxes to be prepared.
My taxes are always well prepared and I never have a problem
Worker was great
I love the service but the only reason I would not give H&R Block a 5 is because prices are too high! I’m already paying 165 for having a dependent and still paying hidden fees which ended up being over $350.. prices are ridiculous and makes me want to seek services else where for next year.
Mrs. Andrea Fowler has been for Years, Given a Warm Welcome Back and Leaving I feel Extremely Confident in the 100% Service she gives, her knowledge of Explaining and Reassurence that I am getting all my needs met ( File Jointly ) My Husband & I along with our youngest son as a Client ! Five ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼Very, Very Pleased Every Year! Truly, The Harley Family

The work associates at the Waldorf M.D. branch have always been so patient and always made sure I understood to the best of my abilities!
Mrs. Best has provided good details & advice fornover 3 yrs now. Very pleased.
I had the best service each an every year. With ms Joyce Best
Andrea is a gem! Very professional and friendly! She explains everything so we could understand and always allows time for Q & A.
My agent was very professional and gave me her personal attention, as she treated me as a person, not just as another client.
Joyce Best actually makes the experience an enjoyable one -- her delightful demeanor and knowledge of tax intricacies is top-notched!!!
Great work
