Tax Accountant or HR Block?

[John M.]

Hi guys -

Looking for some quick advice -  Would you use HR Block/TurboTax over a RE Tax Preparer if you were a small "start-up" in 2018?  Why or why not?  

Thanks,

John

I have a Facebook friend who works for H&R Block during tax season.

During the rest of the year, he works at a mall kiosk selling calendars for the Christmas season and works other retail jobs during the summer and fall.  Really nice guy..... but, you know.

So last year, he posted pictures of an award he got at H&R Block for tax season.  "Top Converter", it said.

"What's that?" I asked...

It's an award for adding on the most products in my office this season, he said.  So I sold people audit protection and additional services and I was top in my office for those sales.

...

...

I dunno.  I guess I'd want my tax preparer to win an award for Most Number of Returns Done Accurately or Best Customer Service or something else.

Like I said, nice guy.  But....
