Who we are

Our Advantage

We offer one of the most comprehensive computerized tax preparation service in the industry. ProFilerŪ, Jackson Hewitt's state-of-the-art, proprietary software, is the driving force behind our success. ProFilerŪ is a forms and an interview-based software program that guides the tax preparer through a series of questions about you and your tax situation. Each answer generates additional detailed questions in search of all available deductions. The ProFilerŪ software is an expert system that minimizes the mistakes often made on handwritten returns, while maximizing the available deductions, resulting in the largest possible refund for you.

Electronic Filing

With the IRS's introduction of electronic filing in 1986, Jackson Hewitt was among the leaders offering the service to the general public. Electronic-based communication enables Jackson HewittŪ to transmit an individual's tax return to the IRS and expedite the taxpayer's refund. The system and the knowledgeable professionals at Jackson HewittŪ remove the possibility of errors often seen in traditional, handwritten returns.
