How it works

• After a tax professional completes your tax return, you will have the option to add the Peace of Mind® Extended Service Plan to your return.

• If you choose the Peace of Mind® Extended Service Plan option, you will be provided with a receipt that will serve as legal documentation that you have purchased the service plan.

• If you receive an audit notice from the IRS or other taxing authority, you must notify H&R Block within 60 days of receipt of that notification. See Peace of Mind® Claims for more details.

• H&R Block will pay up to $5,500 in additional taxes assessed by the IRS or any state and local taxing authority resulting from an error by H&R Block. Claims must be filed within 60 days of receiving notice from the IRS other auditing authority. (See Peace of Mind® Extended Service Plan for more details.)
