Ready to Celebrate Doing Your Taxes? H&R Block Is Voted the Top Choice by Bankrate and NerdWallet
Whether you’re a freelancing retiree, or recently married, a new homeowner or college student, if you’re filing your taxes with H&R Block, you’re filing with the best, according to Bankrate, LLC and NerdWallet, Inc. Bankrate has named H&R Block the Best Tax Software Overall, while NerdWallet has given the company honors as the Most Popular Tax Software for Simple Returns.1
We asked Heather Watts, Senior Vice President of Consumer Tax Products and Support at H&R Block, to give us the scoop on what make our software shine so brightly among competitors. Read on for more.
Why has H&R Block been recognized as a top choice?
We’ve been recognized due to our great products that offer the best value among other online tax preparation Do-It-Yourself (DIY) software. Our free product covers more tax situations than our largest competitor, so taxpayers can have confidence that even the most complicated tax situations will be taken care of.2
Our team has also done a great at creating personalized flows for these unique tax situations, like gig workers for example. Gig workers, such as ride share drivers, make-up artists, and more are taken through a customized flow that is unique to their job to ensure they are maximizing their tax outcome. With an increasing number of filers having a side hustle, these personalized experiences have proven to be helpful to this segment of client this year.
We’ve also made it easy to choose us as a tax preparation company of choice, even if that means switching from a competitor to get the biggest refund possible. Switching to H&R Block is as simple as locating your prior year return, uploading it and reviewing your info once our software has automatically imported last year’s information.
Why is this ranking worth celebrating?
In addition to delivering a simple and stress-free experience, H&R Block do-it-yourself filers have access to our network of tax pros at any time with our Online Assist product. Our tax pros have an average 10 years of experience, so you know you’ll get the help you need and the maximum refund possible, guaranteed.3
