what is H&R Block?

H & R Block is a personal tax preparation firm that was started in the great United States of America in the mid 1950's. There were the first one's on the block that offered to prepare ones personal income tax at a time when the Internal Revenue Service no longer filled in tax forms for tax payers. Classic story .... right place, right time.

The ironic thing is that the brothers who started H & R block, Henry and Richard, actually spelled their last name BLOCH.

Another business that was in turn started by H&R was a computer network company, a pre-Internet commercial network so to speak, called Compuserve - now part of Time-Warner.
