KANSAS CITY, MOâ€"(Marketwire -02/29/12)- HR Block (NYSE: HRB â€" News) today released its Android tax preparation filing app [1] and is extending the industry’s only fully free mobile filing offer for tax filers. The HR Block At Homeâ„¢ Android and iPhone smartphone apps are free to download and offer a free simple federal and free state tax return through April 17.
Using the smartphone app, filers can easily complete a federal 1040EZ [2] and state return by photographing their W-2 to automatically import data into the app. Generally, a 1040EZ filer is a single or married taxpayer who does not itemize deductions, has no dependents and earned less than $100,000 last year.
In addition to the 1040EZ form, filers with more complex tax returns can complete a federal 1040 or 1040A form on the iPad tablet app at no cost all season. The smartphone and tablet apps all feature:
- Free audit support and representation
- 100-percent accuracy guarantee
- Maximum refund guarantee
