Police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and healthcare workers can receive free expert help for federal and state returns without going into an office through H&R Block\u2019s Tax Pro Go<\/em><\/h2>\n

As a way to continue thanking frontline workers for their selfless service, H&R Block is extending free Tax Pro Go \u2013 expert-prepared virtual tax service \u2013 for police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and healthcare workers through the end of June.<\/p>\n

A recent H&R Block study found that in the wake of the pandemic, 54% of respondents plan on seeking out human help over artificial\/automated help when it comes to financial matters. Providing virtual tax preparation to frontline workers for free is H&R Block\u2019s way of honoring the people who are helping people and communities everywhere get through the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have received an outpouring of gratitude from frontline workers for offering this service,\u201d said Jeff Jones, president and CEO of H&R Block. \u201cThey are very thankful that we have helped take care of their taxes while they take care of people in their communities. Free tax preparation is just a small way we can do our part, and realizing how much it is helping, we knew we had to continue to offer frontline workers free Tax Pro Go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frontline workers can visit www.hrblock.com\/frontline<\/a> to get started. They will need to upload a picture of their work ID showing they are a police, firefighter, emergency medical technician (EMTs), or healthcare worker for the tax professional to apply the offer.<\/p>\n
