Frequently Asked Questions

H&R Block's online portal uses secure systems to protect your personal and financial data throughout the process. Your return is also reviewed under their Quality Assurance process before lodgment with the ATO.

Lodging through H&R Block online doesn't require a myGov account. A Tax Expert prepares and lodges your return on your behalf through H&R Block's own secure portal.

Once your return passes H&R Block's QA checks and is lodged, the ATO typically processes and issues refunds within about two weeks. Delays can occur if your return is more complex or flagged for review.

Yes, sole traders can lodge online with H&R Block. Business income is reported on your individual tax return using a separate business schedule, so no separate business return is needed.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of your return and which service you choose. Online lodgment is generally more affordable than in-person or full accountant services, while still including expert review.
