LEADING THE INDUSTRY

Our principles for improving the tax ecosystem

Establish tax preparer standards

  • We have long supported legislation to establish national tax preparer standards. This will usher in a more effective, accountable, and taxpayer friendly system.
  • Every Jackson Hewitt Tax Pro must complete hours of mandatory training and pass an annual test, which includes special courses on due diligence, compliance, and ethics, before completing tax returns for our clients. Our Tax Office Essentials training provides 35+ tax education courses, updated annually.
  • The absence of minimum standards exposes millions of Americans to unethical tax return preparers, placing these taxpayers at a greater risk of inaccurate returns, as well as identity and return fraud.

Trusted partners with taxpayers and the IRS

  • As Americans faced financial strain during the pandemic, programs like the Economic Impact Payments (EIP) and the expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC) became a key lifeline.
  • These programs require tremendous collaboration between the IRS and the tax preparation industry to get the money in the hands of families as quickly as possible.
  • Our ongoing cooperation and communication with the IRS and its banking partners are especially critical whenever Congress uses the tax code to deliver relief or any change that affects filers.

Modernize the IRS and address the tax gap

  • Taxpayers deserve a responsive, professional, and efficient IRS, which is why we have long supported sustainable funding for the IRS.
  • With proper funding, the IRS can modernize its technology, improve customer service, and begin the important work of closing the large and persistent tax gap.
  • Better IRS data will help lawmakers fully study—and close—this gap.
  • Jackson Hewitt supports efforts by Congress and the White House to elevate the tax gap issue and conduct better research into factors contributing to the widening gap, such as bad actors, like “ghost preparers,” who file inaccurate or fraudulent returns without consequence.
