For every tax return filed, we guarantee:
-
If there’s an error on your return due to H&R Block or our software, we’ll reimburse you for any resulting penalties and interest.
-
If you discover an H&R Block error on your return that entitles you to a larger refund (or smaller tax liability), we’ll refund the tax prep fee for that return and file an amended return at no additional charge.
-
We’ll tell you the price upfront and then keep you updated if anything changes.
