      In February 2022 I provided my tax documents to *************************** at HR Block to complete a ** and ******** Tax Return. On April 15 I was told the ******** tax return was complete and I had a refund. After a month of contacting her to tell her to send me the completed tax return, I was ignored. Finally, sick of being ignored, on May 14 I went directly to the office and demanded to speak to her. She had never completed the ******** tax return. And she had never completed the ******** tax return either. So I did them myself. But at this point it was past the deadline so I had accrued late fees for both my ******** and ******** taxes. I paid $970 ** for my late ******** return. I paid $160.80 for my late ******** return. I contacted ***************************, the district manager, who agreed over the phone to refund me. But when I emailed him to follow up, he replied saying:"I have reviewed your situation with *****. From everything I have seen, there is no evidence of negligence on ****** part. There is no way to know if the return was prepared properly, as we did not complete the tax return. There was also plenty of time to file without late fees. When ***** completed the tax return there was a refund and therefore had until June 15 to file the return. ***** has correspondence to this effect, stating there was a refund but did not hear back from you until May 12, 2022. Therefore, I cannot approve a claim for any financial compensation."This is all a lie. She never completed the tax return. Note he does not even mention the ******** return, as if that does not exist. And I tried multiple times to contact her by phone and she never replied. Not to mention the fact that he agreed to refund me over the phone. I would like them to pay me to $970 ** and $160 CAD I was forced to pay because they took four months to not complete a tax return they were assigned to do. Thank you
