H&R Block Offering Free Tax Prep for First Responders

H&R Block is offering Tax Pro Go – the company's expert-prepared virtual tax service–free for all police, firefighters, EMTs, and healthcare workers during the month of May.

“Every day we hear about the selfless acts of the frontline workers during this pandemic,” said Jeff Jones, president and CEO of H&R Block. “At H&R Block, we knew we had to do something to express our gratitude and appreciation for their courageous service. They are true heroes and as they continue to care for so many people, H&R Block would like to remove one potential worry for them by taking care of their taxes.”

Frontline workers can simply visit  www.hrblock.com/frontline  and click the banner or any price to get started. They will be asked to upload a photo of a work ID to validate they are a police officer, firefighter, EMT or healthcare worker, and then the tax professional will apply the offer.

“Over the last several months we have embarked on a community impact mission to Make Every Block Better,” said Jones. “As we recover from the effects of COVID-19 on our nation, we are strengthening our commitment to doing what we can to help communities all across the United States. It will take all of us working together city by city, block by block to come out of this pandemic even stronger than before.”

The filing and payment deadlines for 2019 income taxes, paid in 2020, have been extended to July 15 for federal and most states.
