Tax preparation office set to debut in downtown Harrisburg

The location of the new H&R Block office

A new tax preparation office is set to open in downtown Harrisburg just as tax season kicks into gear.

H&R Block will open on Feb.1 at the corner of Market and S. 3rd streets, according to building manager, Harristown Enterprises.

“With the influx of new residential tenants in the SoMa neighborhood over the past five years, having this reputable tax service location will be invaluable,” said Harristown president and CEO Brad Jones.

H&R Block will occupy about 1,180 square feet of space at 225 Market St., which, in recent years, has housed a number of businesses, including a couple of coffee shops.

From this location, the company will offer services including tax preparation, tax audit assistance, electronic tax filing, refund transfers, refund anticipation loans and similar financial services, according to Harristown.

Recently, several other businesses have opened in the neighborhood, including Tamara Boutique, and Harrisburg University is finishing construction of its new academic building a block away.

“This addition helps to solidify the concept of a walkable community, where everything you need is in a few blocks’ walk,” Jones said.
