H and R Block party

Got questions on tax preparations? Come on down to H&R Block Island and meet with Hope Bechir and Ribbons Whitfield to get all the answers you need.

For the second year, H&R Block representatives will be in-world every Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:30-7:30 SL time, in February and April.

This year they have recruited Nexeus Fatale, SL DJ extraordinaire, to spin his sounds and keep everyone's mind off this annual ordeal. Who comes to these evenings? Despite offices in the US, Canada and Australia, Hope Bechir says that people stopping by were mainly US citizens.

Do they get more personal tax questions or questions from small SL businesses owners?

"It tends to be a mix. It seems that a good chunk of the small businesses are single-person", offers Hope Bechir: "Either sole proprietorships or single owner LLCs, so the business tax stuff just gets reported on the personal return. It's hard to tease them apart."

One of the products featured this year is Tango, an online tax preparation tool. More information can be found on H&R Block Island, as well as online at http://digits.hrblock.com.

So, got a tax question? Curious to find out if grooming costs are tax-deductible if you're a furry? Come and talk with Hope and Ribbons. They'll be happy to help you.
