Our H&R Block company is always moving forward
In 1955, H&R Block was founded with the understanding that taxes are more than just numbers on a page — they have a real impact on people’s lives. This founding principle helps guide us today, as we continue to transform the industry.
Two brothers, one vision
At a time when taxpayers were left to navigate the complexities of filing on their own, our founding brothers, Henry and Richard Bloch, offered tax prep guidance. This innovative service marked the beginning of the tax preparation industry, setting the foundation for our company values: putting people and their refunds first.
We didn’t just set the bar — we are the bar
H&R Block invented the tax preparation category. We take this history seriously with the belief that everyone deserves tax help without stress or hassle — seriously.
Upfront, transparent pricing
We’re the only major national brand to offer upfront, transparent pricing. That means no more tax fee surprises with our No Surprise Guarantee.
Many ways to file
We’ve got more ways to get tax help than anyone else. From local office visits to online filing and virtual tax prep.
Genuine care and guidance
Our tax pros are the real deal. With 10 years’ experience on average, we’re here for you when you need us.
Unmatched tax expertise
Since 1955, we have prepared more than 800 million tax returns worldwide. With an average of 10 years’ experience, our tax pros can handle the full spectrum of tax situations. And that’s not all. Our Tax Institute at H&R Block is among the first to analyze and understand the latest tax laws. Meaning no one is more qualified to get taxpayers every dollar and deduction they deserve.
Expanding our horizons
To live the Block brand is to be determined, forward-thinking, and innovative. We’ve put in motion an ambitious five-year plan to grow our company and evolve our industry by focusing on three key areas.
Small business
Tailoring the customer experience through our small business products and services to drive growth.
Financial products
Creating a mobile-centric banking alternative, leveraging consumer-first technology and banking partnerships.
Block experience
Converging our online and assisted tax platforms to a digital-first experience backed by human expertise.
Making every block better
You may know us as a tax company, but we’re also a company that cares deeply about its neighbors. We founded Make Every Block Better with one mission in mind: to build connections among neighbors by providing resources and support so the spirit of entrepreneurship thrives.
