Editor’s note<\/strong>: This program has been extended through the end of June 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the month of May, the company is offering free expert-prepared taxes for police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and healthcare workers <\/em><\/h2>\n

In times like these, we must all find more ways to help. That\u2019s why H&R Block is offering Tax Pro Go \u2013 our expert-prepared virtual tax service \u2013 absolutely free for all police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and healthcare workers during the month of May. It\u2019s a small thank you for the tireless work frontline workers are doing to help people and communities everywhere get through the COVID crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day we hear about the selfless acts of the frontline workers during this pandemic,\u201d said Jeff Jones, president and CEO of H&R Block. \u201cAt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the month of May, frontline workers can file both federal and state tax returns for free through H&R Block\u2019s expert-prepared, on-the-go service, Tax Pro Go. Frontline workers can simply visit www.hrblock.com\/frontline<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last several months we have embarked on a community impact mission to Make Every Block Better,\u201d said Jones. \u201cAs 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
