This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call.

When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

Calling this H&R Block Customer Number

Nov 9, 2023

I have been struggling to get back into my H&R Block account, but I needed to get to some old taxes because I got audited. Therefore, I knew it was time to break the ice and do it, but I am not handy at the computer (which is probably how I ended up audited in the first place), so I figured I would just get a call to get help. Admittedly, there are probably a lot of people who end up calling H&R Block for the same reason. There are so many issues that can arise with the internet and taxes; I bet the company gets a lot of phone calls. 

This is probably why I eventually shifted to a virtual assistant, but in the end, I didn't mind. I thought I would end up needing to talk to a customer service representative, but I was able to troubleshoot quite well with the bot. The only thing I would complain about is that this number didn't actually work. I called it, and it just kept ringing endlessly. Either it is a dead line, or something was going on with the phone lines at H&R Block. However, I went online and found a second number, 1-800-472-5625, which worked wonderfully.

An automated voice answered and said, "Thank you for calling HR Block. This call may be recorded for quality assurance. I can help you with things like login issues, refund status, and get a copy of your return." I then replied, "login issues," and it said that it could help me and to please let it know if I needed help with an online tax preparation account or a different account. I chose the online account option. 

The voice assistant said, "I can help you access your account. Before we get started, are you locked out now?" I said no, and it asked if I was able to get online. I answered yes, and the next instruction was, "Open a browser and go to account.hr.com. This will bring up a login page. Click, forgot password. Let me know when you are ready for the next step." 

It went on like this for a while, and I was on the phone with the virtual assistant for about ten minutes, but the time could be shorter for those who can follow instructions online faster. In the end, I was able to get back into my account and access my tax records, so it worked out just fine. I'm not sure how I would have gotten to an agent if I actually needed one, but this worked out surprisingly well. In some ways, the bot may have been clearer than outsourced customer service.
