Abstract
For a positive integer let be the th harmonic number. In this note we prove that for any prime , Notice that the first part of this congruence is recently proposed by R. Tauraso as a problem in Amer. Math. Monthly. In our elementary proof of the second part of the above congruence we use certain classical congruences modulo a prime and the square of a prime, some congruences involving harmonic numbers and a combinatorial identity due to V. Hern\'{a}ndez.
