Charging folks a 36% APR for Emerald Advance loans is not my idea of being ethical. Throw into the equation of charging anywhere from $250-$400+ for returns that have EITC isn't my idea of being ethical either. In my way of thinking Block as well as many other tax prep firms take advantage of those who can least afford to be taken advantage of. If you step back and look at the whole situation in a wider perspective these firms are taking your tax money that was intended for those with lower incomes.
Not bashing Block, just telling it the way it is.
In 2002, I saw them advertising Efile and get your money quickly. Well I thought it would be cool to get my money fast. So I went in there with my forms all completed. All they had to do was type in the numbers as I already had them written out in the correct forms. This process took maybe 15 minutes. I had to pay $150. And I did all the work! Needless to say, I just went back to snail mail, and now onto Turbo.
