If you filed your taxes with H&R Block, there might be a problem with your returns depending on what kind of forms you needed to file.  H&R Block has acknowledged messing up over 25 percent of the tax returns they’ve filed, up to 600,000 forms.  The trouble involves the IRS Form 8863, aka the student tax credits form.  Due to some changes between last year and this year, those forms are different and mishandling those forms have created some refund delays.

“We want to assure the impacted clients that we are doing everything we can,” said an H&R Block statement.  “The IRS has informed us and other impacted providers that they are currently processing returns.”

The error covers tax returns filed by the company between February 14 and February 22.  However, H&R Block isn’t the only offender.  The popular tax preparation service TurboTax has the exact same issue; in fact, the Minnesota Department of Revenue has asked people to not use TurboTax to file state taxes as a result!  At least you’ve filed; better to file and get a late return than not file at all.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
