They did my taxes once - 2021 taxes in 2022. I live 50 minutes away; I got my materials in early,…read morewith a template from the previous time, and before April 15, when I was told my taxes were done, I came in only to be told they weren't actually finished, they'd filed for an extension. Finally they were done and I got a very small discount. The next year I was told they couldn't do my taxes because they were understaffed. After I found someone else, got an email to say no, they actually could do it. Good thing I found someone else - more than two years on, when least expected, I've gotten a notice that my taxes were filed incorrectly and I owe New York extra money. Can I leave zero stars?

Don't bother getting there early because I sat there for 10 minutes and no one was in the waiting area to greet me or check me in or ask if I had an appointment. It's not even a weekend. The interior is plain but neat, looks like it was painted a year or two ago as there's still painting tape around some edges. Location is convenient. The woman was nice and competent for basic situations, but did not seem comfortable with anything out of the ordinary or spelling or anything but taxes.

The woman on the phone apologized repeatedly. Called another "office" location. I was fit right in. After sitting for 15 minutes of the preparer scanning 4 pieces of paper and typing on the keyboard, he then tells me what my refund is. Proceeds to tell me that the cost of preparing my taxes is more than the amount of my refund. Needed to be paid today or before filing my taxes with them. How in the world other than corporate greed does it cost a little over $400 to file taxes. I do not recommend Jackson Hewitt to anyone trying to file taxes. They are a rip off, greedy, way over priced.
