Will my W-2 information be confidential and secure?
Yes. We use the latest encryption technology, 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL), to help protect the tax information you transmit over the Internet. This is the same technology used by banks and other financial institutions, which enhances safety and reliability in transmissions over the Internet.
Will my entire W-2 be sent from my employer?
The Automatic Tax Return Wizard transfers all the same information that would appear on your paper W-2 form, so that you will not have to manually enter it.
Will the imported W-2 look like a paper W-2?
The H&R Block software does not actually transmit your physical W-2 form. Only the information contained on it is sent over the Internet. The information is placed in the correct field entry areas on your tax return. So you do not have to worry about errors or an incomplete return!
What if I have more than one W-2?
If the employer which issued this W-2 is participating in our Auto Entry feature, you can import this W-2 now.
Later, you'll have an opportunity to tell us about any remaining W-2's. We'll check each one in turn to see if it can be imported. For now, we'll work on this W-2.
