Do I have to pay H&R Block if they set up my tax info , but did not file my taxes?
Same guy at H & R block in NYC set up my profile and figured out what I had to pay for my one time estimated tax. I ran my own business as a consultant by myself. He didn’t ask for payment, he just asked if I would be filing with them too. I just returned to file my taxes with him now that I have the 2 1099s from the two companies I consulted. The amount on their 1099s were WAY more than what he estimated. I believe they included the reimbursables too. I billed the reimbursables 100% when I billed the contract amount. The tax guy at h&r said just to base estimate on the contract , not the reimbursables when he was figuring out my estimated tax to send in.
Who messed up? Because now I owe $6000 to the federal according to H&R. Also, he said he didn’t have time to answer my questions because he had another client waiting. He said I should call the companies I consulted for and ask if they made an error. He did not send in the taxes or “file” them yet, but he said I was going to owe H&R $648.00. Could I just walk away from them and go to another place? I’d rather not go back to a place that can’t explain what may have gone wrong.
PLEASE HELP!!!

You are not obligated to pay anything until you agree to the tax preparation fees. Since they have not even file the tax return, you are certainly not obligated to pay. Find a tax preparer that would takes time to answer your questions. Paying over $600 in tax prep fees, they better answer your questions.
