Tech your username March 12, 2021 On Wednesday, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals docketed a case accusing H&R Block Inc., H&R Block Tax Group Inc., and HRB Digital LLC (collectively, H&R Block) of deceiving low-income tax-payers eligible to receive free tax preparation and filing services under the federal Free File Program by diverting those taxpayers to paid tax-filing products. The appeal contests the trial court’s order compelling arbitration. The 2019 class action brought by a taxpayer who used H&R Block’s tax services raised five claims against the company. The defendant moved to compel arbitration based on the arbitration clause contained in the terms and policies that the plaintiff agreed to before using the defendant’s services.
