Jackson Hewitt

Jackson Hewitt is an American tax-preparation company founded in 1982. It prepares individual federal and state income tax returns, along with tax extensions, amended returns, self-employment and cryptocurrency filings, and tax planning, delivered by Tax Pros through more than 5,200 locations nationwide, including service inside more than 2,600 Walmart stores. Customers can also use drop-off preparation or online filing.

Its service offering extends beyond routine returns. The company handles IRS resolution matters such as notices, audits, back taxes, penalties and collection issues, and provides refund review to check that customers claim available credits and deductions. Two guarantee programmes underpin the offer: a Biggest Refund, Guaranteed scheme and a Lifetime Accuracy Guarantee covering the accuracy of prepared returns.

Over more than four decades the company has filed over 70 million tax returns bearing its name. It operates only in the United States, spanning tax preparation, retail in-store services at Walmart, financial services and professional services. Jackson Hewitt describes itself as a national company with a local heart, having grown from a neighbourhood tax-preparation business built around accessible retail locations, and states a mission of helping hardworking Americans prepare taxes accurately and conveniently.
