You’ll see the following error message on the ERRORS page in H&R Block’s tax software if you began entering your information on the Employment expenses page, but didn’t enter your 2017 employment end date:

You started completing the Employment expenses page but didn't enter the date your employment ended in 2017. Let’s take a moment to go back and enter your employment end date for the year.
