Think again
Think your tax return is kept safe and confidential by HR Block?
Think again!
HR Block's agency in Coeur d'Alene moved to a new location last year; the office remained vacant for several months. When the property manager was preparing the office for a new tenant, she found a cobbled-up mess, holding thousands of returns from 2006-2009.
As an ex-bookkeeper, I'm mostly bothered by the sheer sloppiness and fire-prone-ness of the filing system. Presumably these were the 'keep for records' copies, not the 'send in' copies. There's no way they could have found a client's return in these boxes if the client had wanted to see his 'keep for records' copy.
