The Story

Adulting can feel difficult. See: taxes.

Halp.

Deep breaths. Every taxpayer needs different info to file, based on things like whether you have kids, own a home, or are self-employed. So we made you a tax preparation checklist. You’re welcome.

Check, check, check, check.

Great. Now you decide how you’ll file your taxes. You can DIY online, mail in the forms yourself, or work with a tax pro to get it done. No matter what, H&R Block can help.
