New H&R Block Tax Pro Go is assisted tax prep – minus the trip to the tax office
December 13 2017 - 10:35AM
In a recent H&R Block survey*, Americans who have their tax
returns prepared by a tax professional said that in the time they
could save by not going to a tax office, 41 percent would spend
time with family and friends, and 29 percent would sleep or
binge-watch TV shows. Starting Jan. 5, with the innovative, new
H&R Block Tax Pro GoSM experience, H&R Block (NYSE:HRB)
clients can do what they want and get their taxes done by a tax
professional.
“H&R Block Tax Pro Go is an assisted tax
preparation experience, which means an H&R Block-certified tax
professional will prepare a client’s tax return, sign and submit it
to the IRS after it has been approved by the client – all without
the client stepping foot in a tax office,” said Meg Sutton,
director of client experience at H&R Block. “H&R Block Tax
Pro Go comes with all the advantages of assisted tax prep, plus
it’s a great value and timesaver.”
H&R Block Tax Pro GoSM enables clients to get
their taxes prepared and filed by a tax professional based on the
information they provide online. This tax professional will ensure
every tax deduction and credit to which clients are entitled will
be found, and will get the client their maximum tax refund. Clients
will know their price upfront, starting at less than $60 for one
federal and one state return. H&R Block Tax Pro GoSM clients
talk to and securely message their tax pro when it is convenient
for them.
“Starting the H&R Block Tax Pro Go process is
easy; just go to hrblock.com and tell us a little about yourself.
Then, you’ll be matched with a tax pro for your situation and told
your price. Next, upload your documents to MyBlock at your
convenience. After we have your information, your return will be
sent to you for approval, typically within five days – it’s that
easy,” Sutton said.
To use H&R Block Tax Pro GoSM, clients can
