KANSAS CITY, MO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/23/16 -- Taxpayers seeking control, security and flexibility when filing their 2016 tax returns can now purchase H&R Block's (NYSE: HRB) tax software solutions at hrblock.com, and from retailers nationwide starting Black Friday.
Millions of taxpayers rely on downloading tax software to their computer, or installing directly on their hard drive from a CD purchased at their local retailer. Among the exclusive features setting these H&R Block tax prep solutions apart from competitors are:
- Free, unlimited, personalized real-time chat with a tax professional
- Free, in-person audit support and representation
- Refund Reveal, which shows in a simple, easy to understand snapshot how and why your refund increases or decreases with each entry you make.
As with all H&R Block tax prep solutions, consumers also receive the brand's guarantees of maximum refund, 100 percent accuracy and 100 percent satisfaction. Unlike online filing, clients can file up to five federal tax returns -- enough to include friends and family -- when purchasing H&R Block software now starting at $19.95 for a limited time.
"Millions of taxpayers rely on tax prep software to file their returns. And, many have found themselves frustrated with other solutions in the market that are either too expensive or don't provide the features they need," said Heather Watts, H&R Block vice president and general manager of digital products.
