is now 
The recent filing mistake by large-volume tax preparation provider H&R Block has now resulted in a class action lawsuit. The mistake has to do with how boxes were checked on tax forms for education tax credits. It is affecting more than 600,000 H&R Block customers.
The IRS announced last week that the tax returns will take much longer than usual to process and refund checks from those returns may arrive several weeks later than expected.
Both the Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Business Journal have updated articles on the lawsuit. You may also wish to review our blog on the story filed on the day the IRS notified taxpayers of the problem.
