H&R Block Screws Up Own Tax Return

Filed under: Business — Posted by Fancy Pants on February 24th, 2006


H&R Block announced today that it was having a problem with its own tax returns, and was going to have to restate its earnings. This is the second time in six months that the tax preparation giant will have to restate its earnings “because of accounting problems.”

How Ironic is This??

    Even more ironic than H&R Block’s own accounting troubles is That’s Ironic has a list of sponsor links to click on, and the top of the list is…you guessed it…H&R Block. A little too ironic, don’t you think?
