    Pending Government Action:
    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:
    FTC Complaint - H&R Block

    The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government’s allegations, which have not yet been proven.

    On February 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission issued an administrative complaint against tax preparation company H&R Block. The complaint alleges H&R Block deletes consumers’ tax data and requires them to contact customer service when they downgrade to more affordable online products. It also alleges that H&R Block marketed their products as “free” when they were not free for many consumers, costing consumers time and money. This matter is pending.

      We had our taxes prepared by **** ******, in the Piedmont office, on April 10, 2024. In addition to preparing our 2023 taxes, **** was going to file an amendment for our 2022 taxes. We brought my files from 2022; **** asked if she could hold on to them to look into the discrepancy found by the IRS. We never heard from her again.. I had to contact the office and make an appointment with someone else to complete the amended return. When I asked about getting our 2022 files back, I was told they could not contact **** "post season". I've made several calls to the office to see if someone can locate my files, to no avail. I have also made 3 visits to the office physically to try to get a supervisor to assist, to no avail. I have emailed and left voice messages for ******* ******** and ******** ******** I still have not received any response. It seems to me that **** should be able to be contacted to find out what she did with our personal files that contain all our sensitive information: SSN's, Banking information, IRA information, etc. This is a very serious matter and we need someone to address this as soon as possible. We would like our 2022 tax files returned to us and to feel confident they aren't somewhere for public access.

      Terrible experience. Unprofessional tax preparers with absolutely no customer service or problem-solving abilities. I'm only giving one star because 0 is not an option. HR BLOCK filed the wrong tax documents to the IRS, different than I was given. After weeks of me providing the documents and multiple phone calls and meeting face to face it has now been decided by HR Block people that an erroneous error on their part was made, however, they are to shady to fix it. I am being avoided now after they initially blamed me and the IRS. I was also told by another tax preparer that I need to really complain about Tammy Brumfield, my preparer. I refuse to point fingers all day long like they are trained to do, I just want a resolution to their mistake. In the meantime, penalties and interest accumulate with the IRS. I was also charged for a document that was never filed.
