Picasso once said, “Nothing is certain but death and taxes,” and now that most people are living forever, it’s really only taxes that are unavoidable. Today’s Groupon lets you tackle a necessary evil without relying on your father or elementary math skills to fill out the requisite forms: a $100 voucher for your tax preparation at any H&R Block in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Because everyone’s tax situation is as unique as their fingerprint or interpretation of last year’s Lost finale, the cost of your tax preparation will vary, but last year’s average tax return cost was $196.16. This Groupon does not include 1040EZ.

H&R Block’s tax masters filed one out of every four Earned Income Tax Credits in 2009 and have delivered expert advice to more than 400 occupations in its 55-year history. Plus, when you file your tax return through H&R Block, you will:

• receive audit assistance if you ever receive an IRS or State letter and receive help understanding and responding for free (up to four hours, a $75 value for non-H&R Block clients)
• be provided with free tax planning whenever you have a life change—such as getting married or divorced, having children, or retiring—for free (a $150 value based on an average 90-min consultation)
• be provided with answers to any tax related question you have for free (online or in the office)
• have your taxes filed electronically for free

IRS audits are on the rise and so is the number of aspiring entrepreneurs. Managing your own operation leaves little time for time-consuming paperwork, so use today’s Groupon to avoid errors and guarantee your maximum refund. If another online tax-preparation method results in a larger refund using the same data, H&R Block will refund the fees paid to prepare that return.

Groupon valid for new clients only (clients who did not have their 2008 taxes prepared by H&R Block).

Reviews

Though most of H&R Block’s clients would rather spend their refund money than write online reviews, two Insider Pagers give the Lake Street location a solid three stars: > * …the man that did help me was VERY thorough…He did get me a much bigger refund though, so in the end it was TOTALLy [sic] worth it – katrina m., Insider Pages > * I was happy with H&R Block when I used them earlier this last year. – Geoff S., Insider Pages
