This National Guacamole Day, H&R Block is Reminding Californians to File Their Taxes by the Extended October Deadline
For all in San Diego, guacamole will not be “extra” on Sept. 16 and 17, thanks to the tax service provider and a local small business on wheels
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This Saturday, National Guacamole Day, H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), is rolling out a tasty reminder to San Diegans, encouraging them (and all Californians) to file their taxes by Oct. 16 – the deadline extended to taxpayers by the IRS. To do this, the tax preparation company has partnered with Taco Love, a beloved San Diego restaurant, for “H&R Guac” taco truck takeovers. The takeovers are aimed at celebrating the extra time to file while rewarding filers with free tacos and the often “extra” guacamole.
“We know taxes are not top-of-mind for most people this time of year. By celebrating this fun holiday, we are reminding Californian taxpayers of the upcoming deadline, so they can enjoy the benefits of a refund, which for many Americans is the single biggest tax event of the year,” said Jill Cress, Chief Marketing and Experience Officer at H&R Block. “As a tax preparation company that offers a full suite of services to individuals, families and small businesses, we’re excited to partner with Taco Love, a San Diego small business, to bring the fun to life – because who doesn’t love guac?”

Taco Love trucks will serve tacos in San Diego this weekend, Sept. 16 and 17, with H&R Block tax pros on-hand to offer up tax tips and advice – all for free. And, in honor of National Guacamole Day, adding guacamole will not cost extra.
