I had my taxes prepared by H & R BLOCK. I have for three years. Their payment would always come from my refund.
This year I owe taxes, $1300, and there has to be some type of mistake.
I want to get my tax forms back from them --just my original forms, not any work or figures from them, so I can do it myself.
Am I obligated to pay for their service?
If they did any work at your request, then yes, you are obligated to pay for that work even if you decide not to use it.
If you can show that they made a mistake, they probably have some sort of guarantee. Ask them, and/or read the paperwork you signed and were given when you asked them to prepare your taxes.
To get your "original forms back", again just ask them. Better, since you're paying for it anyway, get the whole package from them and compare it to the results you get. That may show you where the mistake was, and whether it's theirs... or yours.
Good luck.
