Last year they sent me a coupon and did my taxes for $50 or so? This year I called in and they want $350+ for some reason. Anyone know where to get those great coupons that they mail out. Basically the same return as last year and can't justify paying $300 more for a quick second look and minimal advice even if it is a write off. May just have to do my own on Studio tax also but don't mind chit chatting at the local H&R  |
I've always done my own returns (even when they started to get complicated); generally I've found H & R charges terribly high rates (ie: friend/single mom paid over $300.00 last year). Also their staff tend to be trained just weeks before tax season (since its seasonal) and not well versed on tax. For example; I know of cases where they missed basic deductions like premiums paid by employees into health service plans.
