Block Advisors by H&R Block and Home Depot, one of the world’s largest home improvement retailers, have collaborated for the 2025 tax season to help Pro customers offload stressful administrative business tasks. This collaboration offers significant benefits to Pro Xtra members, such as discounted services — including tax preparation — according to the companies.
“Our initiative with the Home Depot helps Pro Xtra members navigate the complexities of running a business, such as taxes and bookkeeping,” says Jamil Khan, chief small business officer at H&R Block. “Having experts that understand the tax codes relevant to the industry helps Pro Xtra members keep more of their hard-earned money.”
The service launched earlier this month ahead of the fast-approaching April 15 tax filing deadline. Block Advisors is backed by 70 years of H&R Block experience and has category-specific knowledge to help Pro Xtra members lower their tax liability, according to the company. A Block Advisors tax pro can help business owners understand and leverage such deductions and credits as:
- 45L Tax Credit: This tax credit is available to eligible businesses who build or substantially renovate energy-efficient homes and offers significant tax-time upside.
- Deductions for equipment and property: With a Section 179 deduction, companies can capture tax savings on some big-ticket expenses like property purchases, office renovations and necessary equipment.
- Professional materials deduction: The cost of materials and supplies can be deducted, depending on the timing of the usage. This often applies to things like cleaning supplies, production expenses and shipping costs.
- Vehicle and mileage deductions: The costs of driving and maintaining a vehicle for business use can add up fast. Owners can write off many expenses related to the business use of a vehicle.
As part of the collaboration, Pro Xtra members can utilize a special offer on Block Advisors tax preparation and year-round services, including:
- $50 off tax preparation with a Small Business Certified Tax Pro
- $25 off DIY online tax preparation
- $25 off business formation services
- First month free, plus 10 percent off bookkeeping and payroll services
Home Depot Pro Xtra members can learn about Block Advisors’ offer at Home Depot Pro Desks. Discounts are valid online or at participating Block Advisors or H&R Block U.S. offices. Additional restrictions apply.
