there are 2 h & r blocks - the regular ones and their corporate ones. they are separate offices (you won't find their corporate guys in the regular offices) and the corporate guys we talked to once seemed to know their stuff.

and of course, they cost more - but experienced and knowledgeable help does. the first year we started in this biz, we tried block and they couldn't even begin to figure our stuff out - not only the regular people but their manger/trainers, as well. luckily for us, they couldn't help us but they were honest about it.

while i would never consider going to h & r block now, if i did, i'd go straight to corporate and not mess around with the regular h & r block guys.

btw, we usually take the full deduction the first year but we did depreciate a couple things.
