H&R Block, Inc. announced that it launched its new tax preparation filing app for the iPhone and Android smartphones with a great offer for tax filers this season. This new 'on-the-go' tax filing option features a free simple federal tax and state tax return through Feb. 29. The H&R Block At Home(TM) smartphone app is free to download and offers the same H&R Block guarantees of free audit support, free audit representation, accurate calculations and the maximum tax refund to which the taxpayer is entitled. Using the smartphone app, filers can easily complete a federal 1040EZ and state return by photographing their W-2 to automatically import data into the app. Generally, a 1040EZ filer is a taxpayer filing as single or married filing jointly who does not pay mortgage interest, has no dependents and earned less than $100,000 last year. In addition to the 1040EZ form, filers with more complex tax returns can complete a federal 1040 or 1040A form with the iPad tablet app at no cost all season. H&R Block's tax professionals provide guaranteed tax return preparation services in-person at retail tax offices open year-round and through Block Live(SM), the only face-to-face online tax preparation experience available in the industry. Do-it-yourself filers benefit from the expertise and guidance of The Tax Institute at H&R Block when using H&R Block At Home(TM) on their computers, tablets and smart phones. Because understanding taxes is an integral part of managing personal finances, H&R Block keeps the conversation going with clients all year via blogs, tweets and Facebook status updates.
