worth a try
for a basic tax return it was as one would expect. Oddly enough and more particularly as one who avoids giving out personal details to anyone I have started receiving questionable text messages

Expect long delays lodging tax return.
My tax return 18/19 was done on 5 July 2019 and was not lodged until 30 July 2019.
I was hoping to receive my tax refund from the ATO before now, 26 July 2019. Logged onto MyGov account many times only to find my tax return has not even been lodged.
After many enquiries (16 July to 27 July) about my tax return it was found on the HR Block system with a query from the HR tax agent (Melbourne) about documentation despite the fact my tax consultant (Adelaide) has sighted and verified all documentation.
The tax returns are no longer processed in...

Appointments mean nothing!
We made an online booking and requested a specific agent as had had previous dealings with her. The reason we preferred this certain agent was she was very articulate and informative. On arrival for our 12.00pm appointment, there were others also waiting for appointments that they had booked also. I understand some returns may be complex resulting is possible delays but when some 40 minutes later, the lady who we had requested finally became available she simply asked who was next in line. The people in front us went next. We spoke up at this ...
Read morepoint detailing that we had a 12.00 o'clock appointment with her specifically and her answer was that they take who ever was in the line first. Why even bother having a booking system? The agent who did end up assisting whilst apologizing was friendly but sometimes hard to understand and not too forthcoming with information. We really wanted our preferred agent. Not impressed this year.

Not what they seem
I took the pro option and paid $175. When I was called back to go over some details, the person didn't seem to be that knowledgeable, and was rather unhelpful with everything, it was like they had never seen some standard forms before. Do yourself a favour and learn how to do your own tax, or go to a proper accountant and pay a premium.

Mick. Hasked
why have they asked me to set up multiple client portals, when i wasnt happy with the original quote i said im getting a second opinion but still using a H & R consultant they said i need to set up another one, does this sound correct.

Hi Mick, our apologies that you were asked of this. The client portal are setup at office level. So each office has their own client portal hence the reason you have been asked to setup another one.
Hope this helps. Thanks H&R Block
Thanks that makes sence.
