Me’s Mob, are you ready to talk some really serious adulting?! Yes, it’s that time of year again! It’s time to file those taxes. *cringe* This year is a little different for me; it’s my last year as a single woman *dances in imaginary wedding dress*.  With marriage bringing us together, we’re also having those conversations around merging our finances. As a couple we talk about this all the time, but this time we’re bringing H&R Block into the mix to make sure we’re making sound decisions and are fully prepared to become one in all areas of our lives! 

When it was time for Isa to do his taxes, we decided to team up with H&R Block.  What we loved was that they were able to not just do our taxes, but they also taught us a thing or two about financial planning so that we’re able to really map out a good financial future for ourselves based on our incomes. Isa and I are a very open couple when it comes to our finances; we had no issue at all sitting in front of a Tax Pro and letting it all out. H&R Block offers experts from your community who’ll really work with you to get those takes taken care of. We couldn’t have teamed up with a better company; they gave us the best professional to work with! Lionel was very knowledgeable and transparent when going through our paperwork, and what we loved most was that this process was super easy and very affordable! He educated us about any tax credits available to us and explained up front what the costs were before we got started, so there were no surprises at all. Who else hates when you’re quoted one thing, and then have to dish out a bunch of cash on the back end? Thankfully, that wasn’t an issue here. 

We learned so much through this process with H&R Block. Did you know:

  • You can drop your taxes off and a pro will handle them for you. 
  • All of their pros are actually PROS; they’re experts who are certified and trained! 
  • H&R Block offers amazing flexibility, especially for a couple like us. We’re always on the go, and they worked around our schedules, which made this process so much less stressful.  
  • The offices are always in your community, so you don’t have to go far to get your taxes prepared. 
  • We were in and out in an hour tops. They respect your time and know we all have busy schedules! I love how quickly and efficiently they worked. 

Seriously, guys. Our experience was like none other! I had no idea how many options were available for clients.

We had tons of questions, and the H&R Block team walked us through each and every step, from our W-9 to 1099 forms. Lionel made the process stress-free and educated us on merging our finances and taxable income as we prepare for our wedding in September. Taxes can be overwhelming and intimidating, but having someone that’s knowledgeable and great at explaining each deduction and credit turned our confused faces into smiles and sighs of relief.

Until next time! 

XOXO,
