The worst company

AI Highlights
  • - Wage offers were inconsistent, showing $11/hour then $30 per tax return.
  • - Pay may depend on clients getting tax returns, and audits could affect pay.

I actually had the pleasure of working for this disgusting company. First of all they treat there employees like ***.

The first proposed the wages of $11 an hour, that's what it said on Craigslist and that's what they said at the interview, then they changed it to $30 per tax return. However in order for you to get money the client has to receive a tax return. Therefore you can waste a lot of time helping these clients out and if they get audited, which may not be your fault, then I has the worker would not get paid.

They are such a scam, don't do your taxes her either they tell clients what they want to hear, and they over change you secretly by telling you one price, then taking out way more when your check comes. This company is a real scam DONT WORK OR GO HERE TO FILE YOIR TAKES.

Reason of review:
Poor customer service

Horrible service

AI Highlights

  • - I haven't received my return or the free tablet.
  • - They never answer the phone and are always closed.

I decided to give this place a chance and it was horrible. I still haven't got my return, I never got my free tablet.

Recently when I went there its a whole new staff who doesn't know anything about the Mess these guys left them in. Horrible they need to be *** down and I will never go here ever again.

Wow, I was looking up the address for this place and I came across this bull. I swear..

I'm BK born - and raised and I hate to see ungrateful people always trying to mess a good thing up. First of all- I'm texting this msg from the iPhone INSTANT TAX gave me in 2012 as an promotional gift. I was one of the lucky ones.. I really didn't expect it but I was grateful and surprised.

I didn't get a tablet this year I filed a little late. Three of my referrals did!! Its while supplies LAST!!! Anyways..

I'm glad they are here and I'm glad they put up with all of us.

Cause I know they have put up with a lot from everyone including myself. Don't worry INSTANT REFUND TAX BEDSTUY LUVS YOU.

TERRIBLE SERVICE

AI Highlights
  • - Left Jackson Hewitt for INSTANT REFUND TAX CENTER to e-file.
  • - Unprofessional service with limited hours.
  • - Refund from previous year is still pending.

I am a known resident in the community of Harlem, and I love to support local businesses. I decided to leave Jackson Hewitt and give INSTANT REFUND TAX CENTER a chance to electronically file my taxes and I was highly upset.

Very unprofessional service, they're are hardly ever open, and it is very hard to get in contact with a service rep..

By the way I am still waiting refund from the previous year, I should not have to contact the IRS to figure out what is going on with my tax situation when I have trusted INSTANT REFUND TAX CENTER with my children and I's personal information!! I will not be returning there at all!!!!!
