H&R Block introduced Direct Import, a fast, secure, and convenient way to simplify tax preparation for people who want to switch from TurboTax to H&R Block DIY. Today, nearly 65 million people choose to file their own taxes. This innovative integration accelerates the tax preparation process and minimizes the time spent searching for and manually inputting the information from last year needed to file their taxes.

Direct Import pulls in an individual?s prior year tax return data from TurboTax directly into H&R Block DIY online products. A tax filer simply inputs the phone number associated with their TurboTax account to make the switch. H&R Block?s innovative integration then leverages authenticated data retrieval to import up to 150 data fields, saving tax filers significant time and effort.

Direct Import offers a secure and convenient way to transfer personal tax information. Direct Import is available today. It is offered across all of H&R Block?s DIY online tax filing options at no extra cost when people prepare their taxes with H&R Block Free, Deluxe, Premium, or Self-Employed Online Editions.
