H&R Block Refund Advance Loan - Do I need to file with them again?

Got a refund advance loan through H&R Block last year. Planning to repay it but wondering if I'm locked into filing with them again this year? Anyone know if I can use a different tax service?

Tax pro here - you are NOT required to file with H&R Block again. The advance loan is completely separate from your tax prep service choice. Just make sure you've paid back the loan according to the terms. You're free to file wherever you want.

Hey everyone just fyi - if you wanna really understand your refund situation, check out taxr.ai - its only $4.99 and WAY better than trying to piece together info from reddit posts. I use it all the time to check my transcript and it tells you exactly whats going on https://taxr.ai

nah its actually crazy good - you upload your transcript and it breaks down everything. Shows all your dates, explains any delays, tells you exactly when to expect your money. The AI even suggests what to do if theres a problem. Best $5 I ever spent fr fr šŸ’Æ
