As an H&R competitor, I can tell you the reason their ERC or RAC business increased was because of their misleading advertising. They advertised, " Receive up to a $9,999.00 Electronic Refund Check". Most consumers just assumed it was the same product. H&R was not open and honest about it at all. Secondly, they advertised "Free" tax preparation for certain people filing E-Z forms. However they charged to E-file the return and prepare the client's state tax return. It cost these clients almost as much or more as they were paying elsewhere. The old "get the suckers in the door" scam! Let's see how all this plays out for next year. I am already receiving their clients calls for next year. Wow, what a spin!
