H&R Block prepared more than 24 million tax returns in 2010. Many of those taxpayers expect a refund of some amount from the IRS. One service that H&R Block provides to its clients is a federal refund anticipation check, which allows the client multiple ways to receive his anticipated federal refund faster than a refund check mailed from the IRS. Many clients choose to receive the advance on their refund on an H&R Block Emerald Prepaid MasterCard.
