95% of HR Blockhead employees are number typers, simply entering the numbers off the various forms that customers provide to them. They know no more Tax law than the average person. Their fees are exorbitant.

I went to one of those tax preparing classes for a different company. I was horrified with the lack of preparation and emphasis on charging up fees for additional forms and sometimes the 'wink-wink' ways to increase the refund. Didn't stick around to get the job offer.

​@4my2kids79 That doesn't really invalidate what he's saying at all though. Let's be real. The chances of them having a legitimate reasonable reason for not having a debit card is low. Sure, they could choose to be unranked. But that again doesn't invalidate his criticism.

Just throwing this out there some companies given incentive for you to use their card sometimes what happens especially with H&R Block is they will deposit your money faster on their prepaid card then they will as far as you getting a direct deposit so that is why people do it? I know this because I’ve had my taxes done by them before they will actually guarantee your deposit. Will be on that card three days to a week earlier

@oliverkenneth with tech and AI accounting and tax industry is going to be reduced. All those simple return will be easier addressed automatically... on a email confirmation will be need to be signed. And the complex businesses and investments will be addressed daily by tech. The first to go will be those simple preparers like h and r. And those nonfilers will be addressed timely by A I. Because tech will be able to address them indirectly by consumer purchases. If someone is consuming 50k with their own resources a tax bill will be issued by email or text. Tech will also show tax payer documents by satellite showing all the cars he worked on in his backyard. All show all the cash app he received. It will all be stored in the air ready for proof Tech will be able to easily download all receipts time of purchase and all locations as well. Block chain and tech will have all the back up. Eventually big 4 and cpa and ea will transform and be reduced as an industry Government and accounting industry will work together but eventually the industry will lose out or be transformed But the same is true for warehouse workers and manufacturers with robots Engineering and architecture with ai and robots Robots and tech will be building actual buildings and houses and facilities and storage units etc Robots will make fast food and coffee and ice cream and pizza etc. And work restaurants and deliver take out packages in flying drones

Does the H&R Block card not have a chip? If it doesn't, that makes cloning a cinch. Also, high probability of insiders being the culprits. Could be at the tax prep place or somehow connected to the card issuer. Not reassuring. Better to have funds direct deposited to a regular bank account. Safer, since prepaid debit cards have less consumer protections. Many banks offer second chance accounts for those with past banking problems.
