I recently went into Walmart in Dartmouth Massachusetts. Was ready to do my taxes with Jackson Hewitt and noticed a woman playing with dolls and drawing, copying her drawings and taping them all over her cubicle. Dressed in sweatpants and a dirty sweater. I will go to H&R Block to have my taxes done. If this is the face of your company I do not trust you to do my taxes.

I was told it would cost me $100.00 after discount to file my very simple non itemized taxes. It took over 1.5 hours and the agent made at least 10 phone calls because she could not figure out how to file my taxes. 3 of those phone calls were for simply printing the paperwork. She blamed this on her poor training from Jackson Hewitt. Then charged me $301.95 dollars after misleading me the entire time of the cost. This payment was intercepted/stolen from my state refund.
When I asked if the paperwork included a coupon to mail my owed in federal taxes she told me it did. It was in the envelope. It wasn’t. I asked for one and again more phone calls which never led to a resolution. She couldn’t even tell me where to mail my payment to. I was ripped off by a completely incompetent tax agent. Cost me $60 last year at another tax service. Thought this would be convenient being I work for and shop at Walmart. Big mistake. Do not use this dishonest company.

I went to the Jackson Hewitt office inside Walmart located in Centre of New England BLD, Coventry Rhode Island, the lady Shyanne was ok, the only issue I had that I forgot a form she needed I told I will be back, as soon I got back she was gone I was quite annoyed, Also I made an appointment for the next day unfortunately the CPA I was supposed to get my taxes done was supposedly sick I didn't bother to reschedule, Also now I'm reading that they are false advertisement for $49.00 and get back $100, very incompetent

I made an appointment, showed up on time. The one employee was still with the previous customer, she asked if she could help me. I told her I had an appointment for the current time. She said she was finishing up and would be with me soon. After waiting 30 minutes of her yelling and running around like a chicken with her head cut off and screaming "where are my pens, my pens don't work, someone took my pens!" I developed a severe migraine from her yelling that she was basically incompetent at her job and my appointment was half over and she hadn't even helped me, so I left. Without my taxes being done, had a severe migraine, and I made the appointment a week before and rearranged my day to be there. I am severely disappointed in Jackson Hewitt and their underwhelming professionalism. I would not want a woman like that doing my taxes.

We have used Jackson Hewitt for the last 13 years and have always been satisfied. My complaint this year is the price. We are retired, filed a short, easy form and were charged $225.00 (with a discount). I asked about the $49.95 they have advertised everywhere and was told we weren't new customers and didn't qualify. I should think after 13 years of doing business with you, you could do better than this. Very disappointed.

First of all, I am a loyal customer for more than ten years and senior citizen. I made an appointment today at 2 pm, and had to wait until 4 pm for the tax preparation. Thus, the waiting time is poor customer service. Afterwards, the management refused to give me a discount, even though this year there were less forms used and I had a 30 % coupon, which they emailed to me. He/she claimed last year, I was given a larger discount since I owed taxes. This is a ridiculous lame excuse not to give a discount. I highly recommend NOT to use Jackson Hewitt for your tax preparation. They are just rip offs, especially to senior citizens and loyal customers.

We had an appointment to have our taxes filed. We arrived early. Not long after our arrival, another lady arrived after us. She was served before us. When I set up the online appointment, they were for 1 hour intervals starting at 1:30. Our appointment was at 2:30. There was no option for 2:00. We were racially profiled.

There was signage everywhere about their promises and guarantees and they were nice as he sped through the auto e sign. They charged 238 DOLLARS and promised many times it would be fine. No mention of a possible third party denial. They will NOT help or budge and really don't care how calm you are about not eating for 2 days and taking a credit hit because I can't pay my card back.

Tax professionals are great do a good job but Jackson Hewitt is doesn't. Their care team don't care about you. Yesterday I went, got my taxes done and always got a advance. This year they are advertising advance but they are not letting you know that it a loan and there underwriting involved so when you go in for advance be prepared to not get it. Jackson Hewitt should be more upfront about their advances and advertising that it based on underwriting criteria not just your refund next year so think about a different place to go.

Had my taxes done at Jackson Hewitt today. They took me to the cleaners! 1st they promised an advance of 1/2 my refund. 2nd it was supposed to $49 for Fed and $69 for state. They charged me $379 and gave me a debit card for the advance and refund. 12 minutes after I left I get a text saying I didn't qualify for an advance. I called and asked to cancel the return or at least refund most of the outrageous fees. They said NO! I'm on Social Security and they robbed me!

I’ve been filing with Turbo Tax for 5 years 0$. I tried going to Jackson Hewitt for my 2024 tax returned just for the no-fees advance money they offered. After completing everything my due fees were up 780$ for filing with them and I only have 1 job with 1 w2. Turbo Tax is 0$ for filing. The amount from both came out to the same amount there is no bigger amount is all the same.
The assistant was very polite but the ones on the phone which I’m assuming is corporate charging the fees are rude and not friendly. They actually explained to me on the phone why the fees so high. Supposedly because I have kids and some earned income tax deduction. All that is up 780$. I decline going forward I was not gonna let them keep my money. They lowered up 600$ thinking that was fair. After I declined and about to leave they offered for 200$ fees. Did not go through it. I did my tax return with Turbo Tax and got 1500$ advance with them and 0$ fees. Never will go back to this scammers.

They don't tell you that the guaranteed refund advance has special conditions or may not even happen till the end and it's too late. I was under the impression I would receive a portion of my refund that day, at the end when it was already filed they say "if approved it can take 48 hrs". Well before I was home on my 40 mi tax venture I get a text denied and they say I will get a letter in 30 days saying why.
Now I spent 2 hrs +, 20 bucks in gas because they moved my appt to another location, and I get nothing cause I can't do taxes where they really give you $ on your return. I probably won't get them now for a long time because I called them crooks because they deceived me into their bull trap and my money will be delayed somehow. They should tell you beforehand it's all a maybe to read all the fine print in full before acting. Wish I could say all I want but I have to be mellow so you people can see it. I wish I would have never considered these people. DON'T TRUST THESE PEOPLE

My husband (Army war veteran) and I (Federal Retired Employee) used Jackson Hewitt Tax Service for our 2023 income taxes. When we went in I told the woman "that ours was not a standard tax form. It would be complicated.) We were assigned a "tax expert" ha, ha, ha. Again I told them that this was going to be a difficult tax form, that we were not the average tax forms. And we were told 'Oh this girl is an expert'.
After sitting for over 4 hrs, and I had to help her with some of it, we were told that We owed taxes ($1380 to be exact). I ask, "How can that be? We made over $200,000 less this year." We only had $39,000 in taxable income. To add insult to injury they charged over $500 for preparations, advanced packet, and customer service. I said I would go home and resubmit it, "Oh you can't because we have already sent it, so you just need to pay the overdue voucher and by the way our fees are..." So now I had to pay two fees that was almost $2,000 and couldn't even submit an amendment for several months.
To make this story shorter.. I just resubmitted my taxes using FreeTaxUSA and the original overpayment for taxes was $1,111 plus the $1380 that I had to pay because of JH comes to a Jackson Hewitt Mistake of $2,491. I would also add that they "DON'T know anything about the Military, Reserves, or Government pensions. Now if you can't afford to put out that kind of money you had better stay clear of them and go elsewhere, because I've reviewed the JH Income Tax service all over the states and they all have major foul-up services!

The actual process of completing my tax return straightforward, it was the problem generated when the IRS sent a letter questioning my return and I was missing a schedule that has been a problem. 1st, try calling them and NO ONE answers the phone. They must just let the phone ring off the hook, I've tried calling 50 times. Then, I got their main office involved and communicated with their Ocala office who told me they'd file a response and a week later nothing, so I'm back to calling and calling again with no response.

I went to JH for my 2022 taxes and had a fantastic experience. Went back for 2023, had a different representative. I owed the IRS and the rep told me I could give her the $ and JH would pay it. I then found out the bill for the service was double what I paid last year. Yes, I could have said never mind, but I believe to get good customer service you should be a good customer. Found out the clerk entered my state and federal contact info incorrectly. When I called JH they told me I had to fix it myself. This info included my son. It was a mess. They half fixed the problem, I fixed the rest. I asked for a refund at this time, and was blamed for there being an issue, as if I had entered the info! Fast forward to earlier this month, I received a notice from the IRS that I owed them taxes. I immediately called JH, and it took days for them to call me back.
Of course, all notices were sent to the wrong address, so there were fines and penalties included. Took a week to get a refund for the amount I gave them, and though they said they would pay the penalties they were short 9.00. I again asked for a refund, and was told them would do my taxes for free. They never fixed the information in the IRS, and their "Jackson Hewitt Guarantee" is worthless. I lost more money using this company and was misled by their people. If I knew what to do for taxes I would never have hired a "professional ". Free tax return next year jn no way compensates, I will never go back. Highly discourage anyone from using their services especially the location in the Garden City WalMart. The owner of that franchise is worse than the rest of the employees I spoke with this year.

I did my taxes myself for free and wound up owing Federal so I thought I'd go to professional and have them to do it and hopes of a better result. Not only did I get the exact same result as doing it myself but she tried to charge me $350 that's almost as much as I owed in Federal. And what was the worst of all is that she did not give me my driver's license back! She did call a couple of times but I was at work and unable to answer the phone.
I did return the message several times for a span of 3 weeks. No one would ever answer the phone. I even left several messages asking them to mail my driver's license to my house and got nothing in return. I had to go purchase another driver's license. If they are this careless with a driver's license I would really hate for them to have government documents in their hands that belong to me. I'm so grateful that I backed out on letting them do my taxes. They cost a lot of hardship by not getting my driver's license back to me.

Jackson Hewitt only filed two of the three states and as a result, one of the states did a commissioner return and decided that I owed $2,000. The commissioner return was filed in 2019 which falls under the umbrella of the no worry guarantee The Jackson Hewitt offers and that I paid for. Because they didn't file that year I didn't receive notice of this return and the fact that I owed $2,000 because that state didn't have my current address.
I found out about the money owed in 2024 when I finally had a federal return that they could take money out of. They took my entire return and said because it was past the statute of limitation for the state. Any money paid whether in error or not I could not get back. I contacted Jackson Hewitt and told him what happened and they said there's nothing I could do for me even though it was their mistake. I have nothing good to say about the company, their morals, the way they do business, or the people that work for them. Don't give them your money. Give your money to a local tax preparation specialist or do it yourself. Don't give any of your money to these con artists.

This office did not enter all the tax liabilities that should have been assessed. They did not provide me a copy of my return in detail. They did not help me in obtaining tax docs over their website. After making an appointment to picks up docs they made me wait for over an hour and one half on two different occasions. They also provided with a copy of a check by another client. Their Dist Manager did not return phone calls. They did not provide details on how fees were assessed before or after paying them over $1000 for three years of tax returns.

On February 5, 2024, I went in person to the Jackson Hewitt located at 645 W 23rd Street in Panama City, FL to file my personal taxes for 2021, 2022 and 2023. I spent nearly 8 hours with Representative ** whom appeared to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs while in my presence. Ms. ** was very slow and slurred her words, taking much longer than usual to process my tax returns. Approximately one month after, Ms. ** called me personally to inform me that there was a discrepancy on my 2021 return related to a 1099 form. Apparently, the employer's name listed did not match the IRS records. I provided her with the correct information, she then proceeded to tell me that she would fix such issue and call me back. She did not call back.
About 3 weeks after, I called Ms. ** to follow up, and when doing so, she did not recall anything regarding the issue stated; I had to refresh her mind. She then assured me she would fix the issue and call me back. She did not call me back as she promised. I then called the branch to ask to speak to a supervisor, Ms. ** whom never called me back either. I called yesterday April 16 and spoke to Ms. **, once again she did not remember the issue until I refreshed her mind. She then stated she would call me back in hour. It's been over 24 hour and have not received a call back.
I called the Jackson Hewitt office earlier today April 17 again, and I was told to call back on Monday. I then proceeded to call their corporate office, they transferred me to back to the originating branch, I spoke to a new agent who assured me everything has been properly processed, but wait for my return until May. I decided to login into my IRS account to track my return, and according to the IRS online records, 2022 and 2023 returns haven't been processed & I'm at risk of Lien and Levy. Jackson Hewitt has collected payment from me plus other deductions they made automatically from my return for the 3 years filed.

I had my simple taxes prepared and filed at Walmart with Jackson Hewitt was there maybe 25 minutes and they charged me $599 and I owe the IRS but get a return from the state.

They scammed me a few years ago. The preparer lied to me saying if I used them, I'd receive $50 that day. Of course the $50 was never received. The surprising part was when I called the 1-800 number, they just kept bouncing me around even transferring me back to the preparer that lied to me in the first place. It was even advertised on the walls and on their website. I ended up paying over $850 on my taxes that year to Jackson Hewitt alone as their fee. I used to believe in having an expert do it instead of contributing to a way cheaper app cutting jobs of preparers. Today I filed free on H&R Block online.
I should have never trusted Jackson Hewitt. After that year I realized they didn't even file one of my 1099G's (which is like a W2). I've owed the IRS ever since and I don't really know why. The preparer was an old man and said it's his first time was just hired. Why was my preparation fee so much and done by someone who didn't even file one of my forms and was just hired with no experience? I now always do it myself online. TurboTax lied to me also but I luckily caught it before submitting. The thing that bothers me the most is when I called the 1-800 number and they basically told me to pound sand. The Representative transferred me to representative and after the third or fourth one, the supervisor transferred me to the old man that did my return, I told them all to cancel my tax preparation and they all smugly said it's too late and they don't care if I use them next year.
No follow-up calls were ever made to me, no emails or letters. They proved to me that they truly don't care about their customers. Seeing big businesses like Circuit City and Blockbuster fail is depressing to me but I cheer on the slow collapse of Jackson Hewitt. All they had to do was apologize and send me the $50 visa that was promised and fix their mistakes but they refused to do anything but transfer me to someone else. Do not use Jackson Hewitt, I strongly recommend H&R Block. Intuit TurboTax are also liars. Check your receipts. Do not use Jackson Hewitt!!!! You'll thank me later!

Not surprised to see I'm not the only one who got completely burned by this shady establishment. Read the bad reviews, they are legitimate. Some people don't complain but TRUST ME. You will be paying HUNDREDS of dollars more than is reasonable here. I don't often (ever) leave reviews but my experience was so bad here It has become one of my side objectives to prevent people from falling for these "legal con artists." Imagine trying to do business with a bandit in his own capital city where he makes all the rules, you'll get charged 5$ for a banana and it's the same here at Jackson Hewitt. 1-800 steal-your-refund would be an appropriate phone number for these guys.
On top of the slim shady business model the service I received was also beyond unprofessional. The agent actually yelled at me, slammed my papers back on the table in front of me and said to go file somewhere else. And considering I only said about 5 legitimate sentences in there this was beyond rude behavior. This actually happened. The guys name was Robert and he was extremely old fat guy and so maybe he didn't like me being a young skinny guy but when I asked about my 1099 and how to properly claim my miles this was the response I got and ended up losing literally hundreds off of my refund because he didn't help me.
They also have not yet acknowledged their poster claiming if their agent does indeed not get my proper refund they would give me 100$ back but then what actually happens is the retention agent will just avidly defend the tax preparer and they will request you to take legal action to "prove" they made a mistake. If you read all of this Id like you to know Jackson hewitt has created a mortal enemy in this young motivated and vocal man and this is not normal for me. Take my advice and please do not visit this establishment. First go to TurboTax or H&R Block and save yourself hundreds.

When she was done she said I would be getting a refund from the state for $3,000.00. I was so happy because I am a senior citizen with a limited income. When I got home I opened the package she gave me and I was shocked to see a voucher saying I needed to pay the state $3,000.00. When I called her to question this, she had me holding for 10 minutes then said she would call me back. She never called back and my calls have not been answered. Never do business with this company.

We did our taxes with the local Jackson Hewitt in Arnold MO last year and because we were first time customers - we received discounts for their fees to do our taxes.

We paid $25 for them to do his return. We were definitely shocked at the amount we had to pay the IRS for both us and him. He made $15,000 (pretty much below poverty). He had to pay the IRS $2300. We went back to them this year and they completed our returns for $262 and they charged my son $432 to complete his. He had 1099 and one W2. Again he only made $16,000 and has to pay $1100 to the IRS. I do not know how they can justify making him pay $432. That is the most we have ever paid for any returns. All they could say was - well it is already done!! I will definitely not use them next year!!! Note: the refund on the receipt is for state not federal.

Now remember it simple return. I was also going to have my late mom's last set of taxes done there but to be honest I was scared on how much they would charge me. I told the girl, "well I will not have my mom's done here," saying that I would do them myself. To prepare just my taxes it took close to an hour and a half. I did my mom's on TurboTax and finished them in 20 minutes same amount of paperwork. They say, "We can do your taxes for less than what you paid last year." Is a laugh. I paid a quarter of what I was charged at Jackson Hewitt. I will never use them again. I can pay less to do my taxes myself and get a larger return than what they got me.

My Wife, & I, have been getting our taxes done with Jackson Hewitt for the last 20 years. We have always gone to the same location, 1512 Lowes Blvd Ste 105, Killeen, TX 76542.

Back in early 2000s Jackson Hewitt stole 2700.00 from me. Said I owed it to IRS. I called IRS. I was told I didn't owe them anything that Jackson Hewitt was doing that to lots of people and that it would cost me more than that amount to pay attorney. The tax office was in Elkhart Ind. In front of everyone called me a low life and threatened to call police on me.

We went to Jackson Hewitt for the first time we always go to H and R Block. We were quoted $79.99 for the taxes to be done. Then they decide. It's over 500 when they've seen how much I got back on my return. OK fine whatever so federal isn't back yet so I only got 471 on my state so they took it all of it took every cent of it, because federal is going too slow for them even though I have 2 disabled children and I need that money. They could have taken it out of federal, but they chose not to. So now we gotta figure out what we're gonna do about our son. Whose birthday we were planning you guys ruined everything.

This is my first time using Jackson Hewitt. I'm very disappointed in my experience. I have one W-2 and two children. They tried charging almost $700 after they told me it would be $199 at the time of my holiday advance loan. The"tax pro" had me sitting around for an hour and a half waiting so he could edit my previously started return. I even had to help with the program so I could get my dependent care expenses entered. There was a sign saying if you switched you would pay less than what you paid last year, diy included, guaranteed. I asked about that and he had no idea what it meant.
Another thing, for the holiday loan I received it on their Serve card and told the tax person I wanted direct deposit for my full refund. They said we "can't" since it was started with the Serve card, which made me unable to be entered into a $10,000 sweepstakes with my bank. I am not at all confident that I got the most out of my return and will be doing my own taxes again. The tax person was very friendly but when it comes to people's money, friendliness is not the most important thing. Lesson learned- if you want something done right, do it yourself.

That is something I could have done myself and should have. He told me that I owe the amount I owe but should think about what I earned. Maybe I should save more! Really!!!! Getting you the best tax return, owe or not, should include some conversation.
I changed jobs and work also as an independent contractor. For this nothing he gave me a break and charged over $400.00 and told me to have more taken out of my pay or expect this to happen again. My daughter, who makes approximately $35,000/yr and has nothing...not even a 401k was charged $350.00. When she went to pick up her papers the person asked if she had any large medical bills, quickly dismissed the question because "the taxes were filed".
I tried to reach someone to no avail. I was promised call backs. I did speak to someone who wanted me to tell him my story so he could investigate it.

He told me each place was independently owned...not something made clear anywhere. Why would anyone go to a person who does not have someone overseeing what is going on! Guarantee!!!!

Jackson Hewitt software could not handle my situation. I moved in 2022 and therefore was a partial year resident of my current state. The software could not handle this. There was no way to turn off their computations for the state return. The software could also not handle Qualified Charitable Donations so kept charging me tax on my donations even when I was entitled to the exemption. So, the tax total they produced was $3000 more than I actually owed. It forced you to take the numbers off your 1099 forms which did not show the QCD amounts.

My tax preparer Jodi was like "I tried to get you back more-but you actually went under a different tax bracket which lowered your refund-I'm sorry and I hope you're not disappointed?" To be honest I'm very disappointed and agitated that I had to tell my tax preparer Jodi that she put the wrong address on my tax documents, when I was about to electronically sign them.
After the mistakes were corrected I was like-well what about my cash advance? My tax preparer Jodi told me I will still get the 750.00 and will receive a text message that it's approved. I waited for a text message about my cash advance and never received it. I contacted my tax preparer Jodi and wasn't able to reach her, so I called another Jackson Hewitt and I was told the other preparers were busy and someone will call me back.
I was so upset and did a "Karen" move and asked to speak to the supervisor immediately. I was told by the district manager that my cash advance was denied because my taxes were filed remotely. I-was-like-ok-can-I just go in on another day to get my documents corrected, so I can receive my cash advance?

The 2022 season for the early refund and dance started on December 12th 2022. Well I went in today December 13th 2022 with my pay stubs in hand all documentation. I've been a customer of Jackson Hewitt for many years. Everything went through very smoothly and was told right off the bat by the tax preparer aka the office manager whose name just happens to be Candie that was approved for $1,000. Now I have never been denied an ERA so being approved was pretty much expected. Well the following day December 14th 2022 I get a phone call from the bank and let me clarify that Jackson Hewitt no longer uses they switched over to some POS place and I'll explain why I say that. So anyways I called the bank. They tell me I've been red flag because my Experian report is locked. Well no duh...
I lock all my reports and besides I've never ever had to unlock them when I filed for an ERA before, so it was kind of a shock. Been waiting longer than 24 hours for an actual approval even though I was already told that I was approved by the branch manager a woman that's been doing taxes for many many years and even had her own practice doing it. Anyways I'm on the phone with the bank representative. He's explaining to me that I have to unlock the report. They just need to verify who I am so I do. I unlock it and I'm talking to him. He's running my name and he pushes my application through and tells me everything's all good. My name is no longer red flag so I'm like okay cool and he said to wait for an email so I wait. Well got the email today pretty much 1 hour later after I get off the phone with the bank rep and by the way this all happened today or at least most of it. I applied for the ERA yesterday.
So I got the email just flat out telling me that I am denied any kind of ERA and that I will receive a letter from the bank in 30 days. Now none of this ever happened when Jackson Hewitt was with MetaBank for all the era approvals so I guess you have to have excellent credit not a blemish on your credit report just to get an era that they're going to pull from your federal refund anyways so they're not losing any money they're going to get it back they're just advancing you part of your refund but not this thing they're a bunch of God damn leeches so I will not use Jackson Hewitt again because if they're going to go with this Bank and make you feel like a fool and charge you out the ass for services that you are not getting then I'll just go somewhere else maybe a little more expensive but at least I won't have to deal with dishonesty or having some Bank make you feel like a fool.
And by that way the bank that Jackson here is using now is The Republic Bank and Trust Company. So if you don't have great credit or if you have a few blemishes on your credit report or by the way make sure that all your reports are unlocked so that they can snoop through all your personal files but I wouldn't even attempt to apply for the era if you don't have great credit because you will most likely be denied and made to look like a fool especially the end of the year when you have never been denied before and could have definitely used that advance that they would have gotten back regardless. Anyways everyone have a good night. Jackson Hewitt kiss my **.

I would have given 0 stars if possible. This has been the WORST Experience ever. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone and have shared this experience in person to everyone I know. I scheduled an appointment in early February. When I arrived at the closest office near me, I waited 30 minutes and no one showed up. When I finally got through to a person via phone to ask what was going on - they were 200 miles away and had no idea what was going on. I then called another JH office, made an appointment, worked with a specialist (Dwight). We decided to wait to file, per the agent's suggestion because he said it would be cheaper in a month. The agent kept all original paperwork.
When I called back in a month and a half (before tax day), they had no idea who I was. When I gave them my name they dug deeper and said per their records I had been contacted and I asked them to shred my documents. I hadn't been contacted and they could not give me a supposed date this had happened. Dwight said he contacted me several times and I didn't want to pay the fees (none of this is true, he NEVER called). I WAS LIVID! They connected me with a regional manager who then connected me with someone in Alaska. The Alaska agent (Katrina) supposedly found my information in the system, took my payment for filing, and supposedly set up my monthly payments with the IRS.
After filing I was sent an email to log into Jackson Hewitt to retrieve my paperwork. The link did not work, I had no access to my documents. The Alaska agent said she would look into it. That was over 3 weeks ago and I haven't heard from her, nor has she answered her phone. I then contacted the regional agent, he said he would mail me a copy of my documents, it's been 2 weeks and I still do not have them. I have asked SEVERAL times about my auto pays to the IRS. They have no answer and said they are busy and they'll get back to me when they have time. At this point I wonder if things have even been filed, where all my personal information has been sent out to, and what are my options for moving forward?
I am beyond upset, LIVID, frustrated, and mad! I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED SO POORLY!!! In the end the regional manager (Lloyd) said I was a liar. He said his people are educated professionals who have no reason to lie. He said it was easy enough to look on the IRS Site to figure out my payments - even though the filing agent told me nothing of what he followed up with me and said. He was rude and beyond condescending. I still have no paperwork and no idea what the real truth is.

I completed my taxes on 4/15/22 at the Jackson Hewitt located in Walmart at Green Acres Mall with Tax Preparer, Silton Grossett. Whenever I’ve filed my taxes, it takes about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. It took Mr. Grosset 5 hours 45 minutes to complete my taxes 12:58 PM - 6:46 PM (timestamp from Google Maps). He was extremely slow at no fault of my own. I had all my documents ready. He made several mistakes and had to go back to correct. Initially, I was told I would be getting back $5500 refund, then after he received my payment, he changed the refund amount to $1839 because he said that he made a ‘mistake’. He had to make a few phone calls for advice. He also missed my property taxes for the year. This was verified by another Tax Preparer/Reviewer from Jackson Hewitt.
On top of that, he charged me $814! He should have discussed the fee upfront. I’m a single filer with 0 dependents and do not own my own business. I did have capital gains tax on the sale of a 2nd home. I asked him whether it was based on time. He said no, that it was based on the amount of paperwork. I did not have a lot of paperwork. I did not have that amount of money on me. When I asked if I could pay by credit card, I was told that his machine was broken. So, I had no choice but to Zelle it to his boss, Saeeda Pasha since I didn’t have my checkbook. I only had enough cash on me to pay what I thought it would have cost. He also wanted me to come back another day to sign since he couldn’t print the returns. I told him no. I did not want to continue this nightmare.
I strongly believe that my tax returns were incorrectly filed, and am frankly very concerned. My tax return will have to be amended. I inquired about an adjustment in the erroneous/unreasonable charge of $814, and was told that this exorbitant fee was due to my capital gains paperwork. How is that even possible? The message, “File taxes starting at just $59 in Walmart” with Jackson Hewitt is a joke.

The tax preparer walked in and said, "I’m here," she was short with every question I asked and seemed like she did not want to be there. When she finished my taxes she told me it would be $453 to file them! I asked why so much for a simple 1040A, she really had no answer. I took my documents and left. This place has poorly trained agents, no customer service skills and prices are a ripoff. I did my taxes on TurboTax and paid $160. Will never go there again.

I had my 2020 taxes prepared at the Boothwyn office in 2021. I received a letter stating my local taxes were not filed. When I spoke to the tax preparer he stated Jackson Hewitt will not fix the error.

I paid Jackson Hewitt a lot of money to do my taxes because they're guaranteed to do it right, hahaha yeah right.. They filed for me in April of 2021. It's now November 2021 and still no refund.. After about 6 hours today on phone with IRS and IRS advocates I finally got an answer.. Jackson hewitt forgot to send the proper paperwork even after I took them back the letter I received from the IRS and what papers they needed. They still failed to fill out the proper paperwork again..so now only after I sent the proper work again will I receive my refund in 120 days..2 more months,, so that will be after Christmas or hell maybe even next year...

Horrible as Hell. You guys charge me hundreds to do my taxes do my income tax for me. However, you guys make a mistake and I get penalties to do a payment amendment. You guys said you will cover the interest that will be charge, but when I went to hand you guys the paper the IRS send me, you guys did not even seem to care or even pay the interest. Instead, IRS even send another bill at me with a higher interest than before saying that I did not pay the interest when you guys are the one who is suppose to take care of it. Is this how you guys treat your customers when you guys make a mistake? It is just about $13 interest at first that you guys have to pay the IRS instead of me for your mistake, now it rises to $36. I can't even contact you guys since it's on a machine that does not even gives me an option. Seriously, I felt like I got Scam by you guys for 4 whole years asking you guys to do my income tax.

Due to Covid and time constraints I ended up at local Jackson Hewitt. I have very basic taxes but was having trouble getting IRS to acknowledge my free file return. My normal family firm charged me $64 for a more involved return last so I had the idea this would be about the same. It wasn't. I was charged $318.00 and if I had the money taken out of my tax refund it would cost $49 more. I obviously was upset and the preparer couldn't tell me why mine was so much. Later, on a few websites I found that a 1099R is 300.00 but mine is just plain income, no deductions, no schedules, no savings or IRAs just monthly income from early retirement (I was laid off). All she had to do was take standard deduction, check the tax table, and subtract to get refund or what was owed. That's it. They never told me or showed me prices. Ask them before they start on your return! This is a J.H. that's been in business for years and you get to their info through the website of the parent J.H. company.

$664 DOLLARS TO FILE TAXES *I think it's important I share my experience*. Before I begin I want to advise prior to making a apt the office was already aware of what situation I needed help with. And I'm sure there have been situations like mine with previous clients where in the end it ended up costing the taxpayer higher because of whatever needed to do done. So in no way was I looking for anyone to tell me "Hey it's gonna be $664 to file up front". How would they know? But I was expecting Kristy ** to advise when I came to her prior something on the lines of "hey I've seen this in similar situations this. Could be a bit costly" but no. That would be too honest I guess.
Here is my story - I went to Jackson Hewitt and was assisted by Kristy ** and Kyle **. I had come in to see Kristy prior and told her about my tax situation due to my job was not withholding correct state taxes. I had moved out of state. I advised I was scared I may owe and I'm a single parent (so apparently money was on my mind). At no point during my initial conversation prior to coming in for my tax apt was I advised that I had a "more complex situation" that may require a higher fee to prepare taxes (even if they did not know the cost upfront they knew we needed to use multiple forms which is what they're now stating drove the price up). So I made the appointment all I saw was a friendly person who was eager to help in Kristy. I went in, got my taxes done and in the end they charged me $664. I was beyond shocked.
When I began to look puzzled Kristy advised me "I know you're wondering why it's that high. It's because you have a lot of papers. It's a lot of work". Honestly my concern was had I known upfront the estimated cost in fees I could have then decided if I wanted to use their services or not but I was not given the option. No one brought up cost until it was over. Let alone I knew my tax situation was confusing but again I still believe I should have been told upfront. This may be a little more and let me decide beforehand if I am ok with the fees BEFORE she filed my taxes. She advised me I needed a lot of forms that drove the cost up but at no point did she stop and say "hey this is looking a little costly. Would you like me to continue"? To me this was dishonest and I will not be returning EVER. At Least when I went to HR BLOCK (whom Kristy complained about while I was there) I still knew no matter what my taxes would NOT skyrocket to over $600.
Again to be clear I am not stating Kristy does not deserve any compensation because she did file my taxes. I AM saying Kristy was dishonest and did not disclose the fees upfront (and again if she did not know the fees upfront that is fine too but I am not the first customer who sat in front of her with my case so she knew it would require multiple documents which in her case is worth the price. I should have been informed that before we started.) Had she done so then I could have choose to stay or leave and I would have left and went to HR Block. Next day - I called the location to speak to Kristy to disclose my concern. She told me "I could have just got up and left????". I understand that but I'm also not a ungrateful person.
I am a honest single mom and I was blindsided it did not take a rocket scientist to see when I came to her prior that I had a complex situation. She knew this so my thing is even if you didn't know the cost up front to tell me you knew I would not be paying a fee similar to a customer whom did not have my situation would be paying. I called Kristy to asked if my information was already accepted by the IRS. I would have reserved the services and went to Block but she stated it was so I could do nothing. I will be taking this further filing a complaint with *BBB *PA State Board of Accountancy.
I see Jackson Hewitt has a lot of complaints regarding fees. To make myself clear again Kristy knew my situation prior. She knew I was a single parent and worried about my tax situation due to my job. If it cost per documents as she described as to why my filing fee was so high why didn't she been stop. She told me to go get documents and kept stating before we began this is a lot. She should have said "I understand your situation but we do charge per document. Could cost a lot". Do you want to proceed? I was blindsided and I am hurt. I not only have to pay back taxes to PA due to my employment but a huge chunk of my taxes were taken $664. This was the Jackson Hewitt in Bloomsburg PA.

Decided to use [popular, so I thought 'reputable'] Jackson Hewitt Tax Preparation Services (setup in Walmart stores) to prepare my 2018, 19 & 2020 taxes this year. JH tax preparer [S.S. in Claremont Florida] did my 2018/19 returns, for which I was only going to get back $182, for which S.S then asked me how much I could afford to pay for her preparing the returns, which completely stumped me because I went in with the prior knowledge that the preparation fees were PRESET from $29.99 to $84.99 depending on the simplicity or complexity of the return.
So, I asked S.S how much the fee was, to which she replied "normally $333.00", but that she would charge me based on what my wallet could afford, to which I responded, I wasnt going to pay anything for (just) a $182 refund and for her to scrap that return and just do my 2020 (for my 1099-G taxable unemployment income), and the 'Recovery Credit' for not having received either of my Stimulus pkg payments.
Which turned out to be ONE, verrry SIMPLE return filing, where I owed $553 in taxes for my UI, and would thusly receive $1247 back (minus $553) from the total $1800 Stimulus I was owed. For which [agent S.S.] STILL CHARGED ME $150!, their (common knowledge) filing fees posts on the web and office desk blotter??.. And gave me some muffled mumbo-jumbo pseudo-crock of malarkey reply when I questioned the high fee, [she] stated the "normal fee (for even a singular, 'simple' return) was $222", despite what the web and their office blotter said ???? So I had no choice but to but pay it. But it's all good though Jack!, as [God] saw, sees you (guys) fleecing [His] flock, and you guys will have HELLo to PAY for it come 'The End', ijs... #itsJACKedupwhaturdoing

This company is unbelievable. In early February, 2020, I went into Walmart in Castle Rock, CO to have two years of taxes amended 2017, 2018, and 2019 taxes done. I had always done my taxes on TurboTax but didn't know how to amend. It took nearly 7 hours to get them done because the gentleman doing them didn't know what he was doing.
In addition, the computer program didn't allow him to do amended so he needed to contact someone in a higher position to load the program. It took more than an hour twice to get in touch with her and get the job done. All the while, I'm sitting there waiting. He was really trying so I didn't want to make him feel stressed any more than he already was. When they were done, there was no ink in the printer so he couldn't print them out so I had to leave after all that and wait till they called.
I waited about a week with no call, so I stopped in after 11:00 when they were supposed to be open. I waited over an hour and no one showed up. I called "Brian" after looking for phone numbers which is no easy job. He said he would find out what was going on. No call back so I went home. Bryce ** finally called me saying he was the district manager. He said he would meet me there the next day. Of course, he didn't show up saying he had car trouble.
The next day, I met him there and he took over our taxes. He said he had years of experience and would take care of the mistakes he found himself. I called him several times in the next two weeks and he said he wasn't done with them yet. He said he had found multiple mistakes and that we would be reimbursed the over $300 we had paid. He said the check would be coming from home office directly to us. He finally called in about 10 days and said he would drop off our taxes to the same Walmart and we could pick them up. He went over the changes and suggested some ideas for how to handle them. I picked them up somewhere around the end of March. He said due to COVID, the check would probably take longer. It is now June 24, 2020, and we have received nothing from this company.
I called him once and he reiterated and that it might take some time. I have now tried to call him again and left a message. Yesterday, I tried again and he has blocked my number. I have never once been unkind or angry. I have tried hard to be patient and nice but this was the biggest mess by a company well known for doing taxes. I WOULD NEVER, NEVER USE THEM AGAIN AND WOULD RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE. Jackson Hewitt cannot be trusted in any way, shape or form. I am now absolutely furious with how we have been treated as well as the exorbitant prices they charge for a JOB NOT WELL DONE.
