Use the one that makes YOU the most money. You are bound to be stiffed by some that will have the refunds taken to pay other liens, like child support.

What is PBR?   For some reason my mind immediately thinks of Pabst Blue Ribbon (even though Ive never purchased or drank it  LOL)!

LOL... and mine.   There's a poster on a different forum who likes PBR; his listed location is "near the refrigerator"

After a bit more thought, PBR probably stands for Pay By Refund .....but I don't use it or know any professional preparers that do, sorry.

most of the folks who answer do not do pay by refund.  Our clients actually pay us.  so you are not likely to get many recommendations.  I would be concerned about PBR if IRS holds back or forwards the refund to a govt collection

I use quick collect. Client cost are zero, and your cost is $10. Note I charge a fee for the quick collect worksheet
