Making Taxes Less Taxing!

For those of you that qualify to use Form 1040EZ, several fast and  free options await you from H and R Block. 

Until February 29^th, you may go into a local participating H and R Block office to have your federal Form 1040EZ prepared for free.  However, if you qualify for the Earned Income Credit, you will be charged up to an additional $40 for this service. State tax returns are prepared at an additional cost of $39.    

Those that qualify for this service typically are single or married filing jointly taxpayers with taxable income under $100,000, no dependents, no itemized deductions, income from wages, salaries, tips, taxable scholarships or fellowship grants, and unemployment compensation. 

If you have a smartphone, you can use the HR Block 1040EZ tax app for Iphone and Android free of charge. 

As long as you meet the qualifications listed above for 1040EZ filers, you may prepare, print, and file both your state and federal return for free.  Simply take a picture of your W2 or 1099 form, answer a few questions, and the app does the calculations and review for you.   What’s more, the app is supported by free audit support and representation by an enrolled agent, an industry first.  Finally, the product offers 100% accuracy and maximum refund guarantee.
