Surely, we won’t go as far as to say doing your own taxes is fun, but we will quietly suggest it’s not nearly as scary or panic attack-y as you think. If you have a pretty straightforward tax situation, like being a student or a W-2 employee, H&R Block’s free version may be all you need.
However, if you have a few more things going on, such as side hustles, investments, or kiddos, H&R Block’s online tax solutions are fast, easy, and accurate. You can use these tax-filing tools on your own or with the help of their deduction-savvy experts.
Keep in mind though, this year you’ll be needing to get your return done by April 18 in most states (those bittersweet days of the IRS playing it a bit loose with deadlines are now over) and e-filing started on January 24.
On the bright side, H&R Block is offering an exclusive 25% off discount until April 18. For tax season 2022, here are some scenarios which may apply to you and how to handle them.
