A Dartmouth, N.S., woman still reeling from her husband's recent death is now facing added stress after tax-preparation company H&R Block mistakenly declared her dead. In March, she went to H&R Block in Cole Harbour, N.S., to have both his tax return and her own prepared. Ketchum initially said someone from H&R Block would do an interview, but then withdrew and said in an email that H&R Block had "contacted the appropriate government agencies and had the issue rectified immediately after we were informed of the error." It did not answer questions about what requirements are needed to be an H&R Block tax preparer. Shortly after CBC News's call to H&R Block, Bull did receive a call informing her the fees would be refunded.
