Despite the federal government shutdown, H&R Block (NYSE:HRB)
will continue to assist the millions of taxpayers who want their
tax refund as soon as possible, or need to submit their 2017 tax
returns by April 17. For taxpayers who want access to money faster
than the IRS can provide a tax refund, H&R Block continues to
offer the Refund Advance*, which offers taxpayers a loan against
their refund of up to $3,000 after filing their taxes, even while
the IRS remains closed.
“Just because the IRS isn’t operating as normal, don’t wait to
prepare your return. We are well prepared to help you throughout
the shutdown. And those who file earliest will be first in line for
refunds once the IRS resumes normal operations,” said Kathy
Pickering, vice president of regulatory affairs and executive
director of The Tax Institute at H&R Block. “The Refund Advance
remains a great way for qualifying filers to get access to up to
$3,000 even though there’s a shutdown.”
In addition, H&R Block advises taxpayers that the tax
deadline is still April 17 and will not change. Filing their
returns electronically remains the recommended method taxpayers use
to submit their returns because it aids timely processing. If
taxpayers choose to file a paper return, they should be sure to get
the returns postmarked by April 17 and get a receipt. Paper returns
will take longer to process than e-filed returns.
Taxpayers who want help preparing their return or understanding
the impact on their refund can make an appointment with an H&R
Block tax professional online or by calling 1-800-HRBLOCK.
