H&R Block Introduces Free Tax Pro Review for New Clients
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) has announced the inclusion of its Tax Pro Review services at no additional cost for new clients purchasing paid DIY online tax products. This promotion, available through February 15, is designed to support digital-first filers while building on the company’s 70-year legacy in tax expertise.
Enhancing Tax Filing Experience
The recent changes brought by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and other updates to the 2025 tax code have introduced increased complexity to the tax filing process. H&R Block is strategically positioned to provide guidance at each step, whether clients choose a fully DIY approach or opt for full assistance from tax professionals available at one of H&R Block’s 10,000 retail locations.
Understanding Tax Pro Review
Tax Pro Review allows DIY filers to prepare their tax returns independently and then submit them for a comprehensive review by an H&R Block tax professional. During this review, the expert identifies potential errors, optimization opportunities, and audit triggers before filing. Once the review is complete, the tax professional signs and submits the return, mirroring the process of a traditionally prepared filing.

H&R Block provides a robust digital suite, which includes:
- AI Tax Assist: A Generative AI experience designed to address tax inquiries, powered by OpenAI models.
