TAX IDENTITY SHIELD®

Tax Identity Theft Protection & Restoration Services

Don’t let tax identity theft stand between you and your tax refund. H&R Block offers some of the most important identity protections available, for a fraction of the cost.

Why is tax identity theft protection so important?

Tax identity theft (also called tax fraud) can mean significant delays to your refund. What’s worse is it may take months or years to restore your identity. With instances of data breaches and other scams on the rise, the need for tax fraud protection has never been greater.

Because H&R Block cares about safeguarding your tax identity and your refund, we created Tax Identity Shield® Disclaimer number 97. Scrolls to disclaimer..
