Why is It Asking Me to Pay to E-file My Return?

H&R Block Tax Software includes 5 free federal e-files. To take advantage of your free federal e-files, you need to activate and register your copy of our software program using the Activation Code you got when you purchased your program.

State e-file fees are a separate charge. They aren't included in the cost of your federal or state programs and don't count as one of your five free federal e-files.

Sometimes H&R Block will ask you to enter your payment information again if you're refiling a rejected return. H&R Block won't process your e-file fee until the IRS or state accepts your return.
