Founded in 1955, H&R Block was built on the belief that taxes are more than numbers on a form because they directly affect people’s lives. What began with brothers Henry and Richard Bloch offering guidance to taxpayers navigating complex filings grew into the creation of the modern tax preparation industry. That people-first philosophy still defines H&R Block today, supported by transparent, upfront pricing through the No Surprise Guarantee and a commitment to making tax help simple, stress-free, and accessible.
With more than 800 million tax returns prepared worldwide, H&R Block brings unmatched experience and expertise to every client interaction. Its highly trained tax professionals, backed by the H&R Block Tax Institute, stay ahead of evolving tax laws to help clients secure every credit and deduction they deserve. Beyond tax services, H&R Block is deeply invested in the communities it serves, supporting local growth, entrepreneurship, and meaningful connections through outreach, volunteerism, and programs designed to make every block better.
