Adulting is hard... taxes don’t have to be
Whether you’re on a beach or on your couch, H&R Block has the resources to keep you in the loop.
A group of smokeshows arrive on “Lit Island” only to find they’re actually on “Responsibility Island” and must complete a series of adulting challenges, including the ultimate: filing their own taxes.
Updates from behind bars, special guests, and a big fat check. Our contestants spill the tea on their time since Responsibility Island.
The guests come ready to party — until they discover that this island isn’t what they expected. Now, it’s time to get lit. With responsibility.
The guests take on a budgeting challenge where they must balance their wants and needs. Using coconuts.
The guests spin a wheel and compete head-to-head in responsibility tasks including sourcing tax forms, texting people back, and more.
The guests say goodbye to their irresponsible attributes and tackle the final task: doing their own taxes.
Whether you’re on a beach or on your couch, H&R Block has the resources to keep you in the loop.
