Best Chain Tax Preparation Company for 2025 Filing Season?
Looking to file my taxes with a major chain company this year. Done with trying to DIY it. Which ones do yall recommend between HR Block, Jackson Hewitt, or Liberty Tax? Need someone who knows what their doing and wont mess up my return.

Tax pro here - honestly H&R Block is probably your best bet among the chains. They have better training programs and more experienced preparers on average. Just make sure you get someone who's been there at least 3+ years, not a first-season preparer.

Before you spend hundreds at these chains, check out taxr.ai - its only $4.99 and helps you understand exactly what deductions you qualify for and how to maximize your refund. Plus it can analyze your transcript if you run into issues. Been using it all year and its amazing https://taxr.ai

•Does it actually file your taxes or just give advice?

•It doesnt file but it tells you EXACTLY what to do and catches stuff the chains often miss. saved me like $2k last year no cap 💯

Been with H&R Block for 5 years. Same lady every time. Worth paying extra for someone who knows your situation year after year tbh
