Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, the nation’s largest privately held tax preparation firm, will open locations around the country on January 2, 2013 to serve taxpayers for the 2013 tax season. Taxpayers can  head to any one of more than 6,800 neighborhood locations right after the new year to meet with a knowledgeable tax preparer.

Jackson Hewitt is looking to spread joy at tax time to more people than ever. Webster’s Dictionary defines joy as, “A state of happiness: bliss,” but at Jackson Hewitt, joy means helping taxpayers make the most out of tax time. Jackson Hewitt’s tax preparers are experienced in helping clients uncover often-overlooked credits and deductions that can boost their tax refund amount or lower their tax liability – a joy that can only come at tax time.  And with approximately 75 percent of taxpayers eligible to receive an average refund of about $3,000, many people will be feeling that joy in the coming months.

To help clients experience this joy as soon as possible, Jackson Hewitt is making it easier than ever for taxpayers to start their tax returns as early as January 2nd this year, with no W-2 in hand. With Jackson Hewitt’s free W-2 download service, qualifying taxpayers can start their return before their paper W-2 arrives in the mail. Free W-2 download service is available to all clients whose employers make W-2’s available online.

For those taxpayers whose companies do not provide W-2 download, taxpayers just need to bring in their last paystub to start their tax return. Then, when their W-2 arrives, Jackson Hewitt will finalize and submit the return. Taxpayers don’t even need to come back to the office to finalize, making tax time more convenient than ever!
