I had an appointment with Barbra at the commercial H&R Block and she was amazing! Super friendly and kind, and also very good at her job. She got me the most money back possible as well as informing me as more ways to get more money back on my taxes in the future. HIGHLY recommend setting up an appointment with Barbra!

We have been going to this location and seeing the same consultant Melody for the last several years. My husband has been having Melody do his taxes before we even got together, She always does an amazing job, is not only quick, but efficient with how she goes about doing them to ensure we get the most of our refund.
