Question:
I had my taxed done at h&r block this year. Before I went I completed my return online at their website but didnt submit it. I wanted the 2 day loan. When I got there all of the info was already in there and after the women checked everything the amount was the same. They turned me down for the loan and I called the bank and it was due to an offset. I called the irs number it told me to and it stated that I had no offsets. Even the banks other line said I had no offsets while the other one said I was turned down due to an offset. So I got to pay over $200 to have someone submit all of the information I had entered to the IRS and got my money back no sooner. Actually may take longer. And dont ask them for answers they have none. They use a bank that they cant get a hold of apparently. Its my job to call this bank. I didnt go to this bank so I shouldnt have to deal with them.
Answer:
Your first mistake was going to H&R Block.Your second was not waiting 2 weeks for the money to get back.I could be wrong but I think it cost you 20 percent of your return by not waiting plus the $200
thats a bloddy nightmare of a scam to me. my boyfriend used to do his taxes there too and he repeatedly got screwed. anyone that reads this, go else where. in canada theres a place called liberty tax. i've been doing my taxes with them for years and its always been a pleasure.

I do my own, but you could always try to see if there's a local IRS building around to do them for free. They do that in my town. If not, try Jackson-Hewitt.
My own personal experience with H&R Block.
Over $250 bucks later and I owe X amount of dollars - on the way home, I spent $79.00 for Turbo Tax software and spent less than a hour and a half on the computer. I am getting a small return.
H&R Block (and this may depend on the individual preparer and may not be representative) missed numerious deductions - especially deductions relating to my self employed business. Perhaps he was in a hurry or backed up with customers, I don't know.
I do know its good ol' Turbo Tax for me from now on.
