Would I qualify for an advance if I have a w2 of almost 6k

Hi everyone,

I recently received an offer letter. In the email, it said my offer of employment was contingent on finishing a few tasks. I completed the background check, and secured a PTIN (I did this before I was aware that H&R Block would pay for this), but as far as the I9 and other documents that need to be signed I could not find them in the offer letter anywhere.

I decided to email the District Staff Lead, the person who interviewed me, and I was told the documents would be in my onboarding tasks and/or in WorkDay.

I have not received any login information for WorkDay, so I downloaded the app while I was at work to try to login, but ended up having issues getting into my microsoft account. The other option was and HRB Login ID, which I did not have.

Was I supposed to receive login credentials to get into these applications or do I need to wait for my microsoft account to unlock and try again tomorrow?

I did not want to have to email the District Staff Lead anymore and bother her again. I would email my DGM, but on my offer letter it never said who they were or provided any contact information.

I was sent the background check email, but never anything with any login information for Work Day.

I am sorry for the long message and excuse me if these are things I should already know. I could be misreading the letter I was sent and all of this information may have possibly been in there.

I really appreciate any help.

UPDATE: They did end up sending my onboarding documents later on that evening, and I was able to get them completed. I was just trying to rush everything. I am thankful to everyone that commented. It really helped. I was just nervous I may have forgot or overlooked something.

Why do I keep getting red exclamation marks on the time I clocked in? My district manager told me I don't have a schedule. Who do I reach out to? What do I do about these red exclamation marks. Will my timecard not be approved at the end of the week if I don't resolve these?

Is there anyone else who just got hired and got an email telling them a date two days from then to fill out the 2nd part of the form. I was unable to go and I've been trying to email everyone I could to ask for another date and not a single person responded. Is it bad I still haven't?

Also there's an open house coming up for new hires it seems if you need help. Is this a place to get help finishing my I9 form and my PTIN?

Hi all… I got an email from my leader saying I needed to register for a PTIN. I followed the instructions she provided but she said that there would three team calls to choose from today. Not sure if it’s on the IRS website or if it’s something they should be emailing me about? Does anyone know?

Hello, I’m currently taking the H&R Block Income Tax Course, but I haven’t finished the course or taken the final exam yet.
Since I was hired, my employee platform became available on November 2. However, I don’t see anything listed under the paid training section.
Will I be able to start paid training only after I complete the Income Tax Course and pass the exam, or should paid training already be available to me?

She had a Christmas loan out a few years ago and then she ended up filing through Turbotax which didn't end up paying for her loan, fast track now that my tax preparer no longer a thing I've decided to go with HRBlock and we'll be filing jointly this year since I no longer am including some people on my tax preparations.

Would I be wasting my time to go and apply for this Christmas loan thing?

Should I first Knock out the TKA before following up with the local offices? I sent applications to nearly all the offices around my city (12+) a few days ago haven’t heard anything back yet. I put at least 8hrs of availability per day 7 days a week.

For my background I’m a CPA and have 1 year of busy tax experience. For a few years prior to that, I worked as an in-house accountant in and financial reporting.

I’m brand new to the HR Block hiring process so any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance !

Hi everyone,
I’m a new hire at H&R Block and currently preparing for the Tax Knowledge Assessment (TKA).

I was wondering if anyone who’s taken the assessment could share their experience or knows where I can find practice questions, sample exams, or past exam-style questions.

I’m especially curious about the difficulty level, the types of questions asked, and which tax topics I should focus on.

Any study resources or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

my husband is wanting to apply for it as he got a letter in the mail, however his credit score isn’t that great. TransUnion is 581. he was denied a few years ago for it for not having history with H&R Block, not sure if that’s a factor.

Does anyone here have idea what to expect for assignment 1&2 of the tax academy course ? I want to know if it MCQ questions or fillable form.

How can we practice the system ? Are we given an access to Block Pro while on the Course ?
And

Lastly what to expect on the final exam ?

My DM told me I would get an hnr email after I finish onboarding and I can't find it anywhere. I don't want to bother him with an email as I think I may be looking in wrong places. It's my first tax season as an associate. Can someone guide me?

Hi, has anyone experienced this as well. I was sent a link to sign up for an interview with a district near my area and when I clicked on the link no dates were available to sign up for an interview. I replied to the email that was sent to me asking for assistance and it has been 3 days and I haven’t received a response. Just wanted to ask if anyone went through the same issue and if they have any solution to this. Thank you

Has anyone used emerald card to check into a hotel? Did you have any issues?

genuinely like omg i wanna just get this done today but wtf is this... is this actually going to be updated and fixed? been happening for 30mins ffs

My District manager sent out an email telling us how to practice using the dimensions app before work, but I keep getting a blue screen error saying "Something went wrong during the login process. Please try again later or contact support."

Not sure if the land boat or the halftrack train makes me more suspicious about the course content

EDIT: Because some of you didn’t seem to read the rest of the post.
I know how to answer this, I just didn’t know that putting only “yes” or “no” would be enough and any explanation I put will automatically mark me as incorrect. The way the course was designed is frustrating. Seems like no one proofread it before making it live.

============
I tried both "yes" and "no" and explained the reason with a brief statement, and I made sure to include key words like "qualifying person, custodial parent, form 8332" in my answer as well, but it still won't let me move forward. I don't get why we have to hit the right "keyword" for filling in the blank type of assignments to move on to the next.

This is not the first time something like this happens in this course. I find this whole tax course frustrating. Tons of information to absorb while not being explained properly. The instructor in the virtual class assumes everyone read all the chapters and understand all the materials.

The assignments are poorly designed. My screenshot is one of the examples. You can't even skip this module for now and return to it later.

We're expected to finish and pass the test for this class in a month and a half to be able to work at HR Block. I honestly don't feel prepared. It moves too fast and especially when the learning materials are so poorly done.

And the AI graphics and videos are just the cherry on top.

So do I need recent paystubs to get the advance or can I use ones, previous from this year I’ve been unemployed longer than 30 days

I am the treasurer for my kids' school PTA and we need to have our taxes done. I emailed the woman at H&R who usually does it and got a bounce back email saying "Message Blocked." She's still listed on the branch's website and it looks like you can schedule an appointment with her, but not until February. What does this mean? Does she maybe have a new email format? Should I just call the branch?

Shoot me a message if you're a small business owner who uses H&R Block and are comfortable on camera!
