My friend wants to learn taxes.

If your friend is interested in taxes but has no experience, H&R Block’s Income Tax Course is designed for them. Through flexible, online and in-person classes, students obtain the knowledge and skills required to be a first-year tax pro. If they pass and they’re hired at an H&R Block office, you’ll earn $150.

My friend has tax experience.

If your friend has a background in taxes already, our Tax Knowledge Assessment puts their knack for numbers to the test. Passing the assessment is the first step towards a career as an H&R Block tax pro, and it’s free to take. If they pass and they’re hired at an H&R Block office, you’ll earn $250.

My friend wants to work in a tax office.
