The IRS is currently experiencing a hardware failure that is affecting a number of its tax processing systems. This issue is impacting the entire tax preparation industry. The IRS is not currently receiving e-filed returns or sending acknowledgements. This issue is preventing the IRS from accepting e-filed returns and may be affecting its ability to issue tax refunds. But, there is no reason clients should delay preparing their returns. H&R Block systems are not impacted and it is business as usual. We are still preparing returns in more than 10,000 tax offices nationwide. In addition, H&R Block\u2019s do-it-yourself online and software tax preparation solutions are available.
