Some people want face-to-face help with tax preparation. Others
like to DIY. H&R Block (NYSE:HRB) makes it easy to prepare
taxes any way, with recent updates to its website, HRBlock.com.
H&R Block’s redesigned website makes it easier than ever to
work with Block.
The site’s sleek, streamlined design sports clear, focused
content so visitors can:
- Easily locate any one of H&R Block’s 10,000 tax offices
nationwide and make an appointment to work with a tax pro.
- Securely file their federal and state taxes online from any
device (desktop, tablet or mobile phone) and, in many cases, for
free.
- Download H&R Block’s tax software program and get five free
federal e-files and free audit support.
“Our website, HRBlock.com, is always open, and it truly offers
something for everyone,” said Amy Hu, vice president of interactive
marketing and online experience for H&R Block. “You can visit
us to book your tax office appointments, use our tax calculator to
estimate your refund, get tax tips, manage your account, or buy
software or online products. Our website lets you engage with us
however you want – in an office or online.”
Short videos highlighting the H&R Block experience whether
filing with Block online or in person help visitors get the most
from their tax preparation and planning. Whatever tax preparation
method a taxpayer selects, H&R Block also guarantees accuracy,
maximum refund and satisfaction.
Plenty of options
The site provides desktop, laptop or mobile device access to all
H&R Block’s 2017 tax products and services, such as:
- Tax preparation options including free 1040EZ filing in offices
and free 1040EZ and 1040A and 1040 with Schedule A online
filing;
- Refund and payment options, including loading a tax refund on
an Emerald Prepaid MasterCard, getting a direct deposit, receiving
a check from the IRS or purchasing a Refund Transfer, which allows
taxpayers to pay nothing out of pocket for their tax
preparation fees, which are deducted from their refund; and
- Financial services options, including the award-winning Emerald
Prepaid MasterCard and an H&R Block Emerald Advance Line of
Credit.
Tools to use
Tax preparation isn’t all taxpayers can manage at HRBlock.com.
They can also check their refund status and learn why a new law may
delay their refund until as late as the week of February 27.
They can also access tax information and tools, including a tax
refund calculator, a W-4 calculator, an Affordable Care Act
calculator and dozens of articles that explain credits, adjustments
and deductions, refunds and payments, health care, taxes and
penalties, audits and more.
Or they can use the private, secure MyBlock account year-round,
where taxpayers can make tax office appointments, access their tax
information and prior year tax returns, and more.
“Anyone can set up a secure MyBlock account through
HRBlock.com,” said Hu. “It’s a great way to store tax receipts and
other tax documents year-round, so when you’re ready to do taxes,
everything’s at your fingertips.”
Recent enhancements to MyBlock include the ability to store and
share tax documents with an H&R Block tax preparer; upload
multiple tax documents with a single click using a new service
called MyDocuments; and access older federal and state tax returns
and H&R Block products and services history.
