Taxes are a necessary evil but can be incredibly complicated and confusing to many people. Yes, there are online programs and home tax software programs designed to walk you through your forms. Yet, I’m often left with questions—is this deductible somewhere? What am I missing?
That’s why I’m excited to tell you about H&R Block’s Free Tax Advice Day. For 24 hours, their 50 tax professionals will be taking calls & answering emails with your personalized tax questions. It’s like having an accountant on call all day long! Through April 15, Taxpayers can call 1-866-HRBLOCK or e-mail taxtalk@hrblock.com for free advice. You can also submit your questions online at the Get It Right community or via iPhone with the H&R Block Tax Answers application.
Even better—H&R Bock has partnered with TaxMama, Eva Rosenberg, to host 2 online radio shows on Thursday, March 25th. For both shows, everyone can visit http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hrblock to listen in. If you have specific tax questions, be sure to submit them in advance! The radio shows include:

Key topics for taxpayers include:

That was so helpful!!! Thanks for posting the link. While the online radio shows have ended they said they will be posting them on Taxmama so that you can still have a chance to listen to them.

I would like to win the software. If we are getting a refund, we will use it to repair our car, dryer, or purchase a mattress.
