Jackson Hewitt Shares Tips for Taxpayers Who Still Need to File a 2024 Federal Tax Return

JERSEY CITY, N.J., March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackson Hewitt Tax Services® is reminding taxpayers that it's midway to Tax Day. With tax season hitting the midpoint, estimates project that over 100 million taxpayers still need to file their 2024 Federal tax return, or pay any balance due to the IRS or state, before the deadline of April 15, 2025. According to recent IRS statistics, 42.7 million tax returns have been received so far in 2025, a decrease of 3.8 percent compared with the same time last year.

For a limited time, valid from March 1 through March 31, 2025, new clients can qualify for a promotion of paying no more than $149 to have their Federal tax return prepared at any participating Jackson Hewitt location.
For a limited time, valid from March 1 through March 31, 2025, new clients can qualify for a promotion of paying no more than $149 to have their Federal tax return prepared at any participating Jackson Hewitt location.

The Tax Pros at Jackson Hewitt want taxpayers to take the following steps to meet the Tax Day deadline:

  1. Get documents organized. All paperwork should have been sent to taxpayers by January 31, 2025. If taxpayers still don't have the necessary documents, they need to request them from employers, bank providers, or whomever to supply the necessary documents. Jackson Hewitt's website has a document checklist to remind taxpayers what documents are needed.
  2. Work with a tax professional. Tax returns are complicated and it's best to work with a trained, experienced, and knowledgeable Tax Pro. They can navigate the complex tax laws and help taxpayers file an accurate return and get them the biggest tax refund owed to them or pay the lowest tax liability. Taxpayers can schedule an appointment with a Jackson Hewitt Tax Pro at an office nearest them.
  3. Be accurate. It's important not to guess or make estimates on a tax return. If information is omitted or is different than what the IRS has in its system, the IRS will know. It will likely flag and delay the processing of a tax return and ultimately hold the taxpayer's refund. A recent Jackson Hewitt survey found that 43 percent of people thought the IRS would automatically correct a return if it included income that was not taxable. However, the agency does not fix mistakes on tax returns.

"Tax filing season moves fast, and April 15 will be here before we know it. There is still plenty of time to schedule an appointment with a Tax Pro, and there is no reason to wait. Most taxpayers get a refund, and those who owe still have until the deadline to pay. Filing early also helps prevent identity theft and refund fraud," said Mark Steber, Chief Tax Officer, Jackson Hewitt Tax Services. "And we also don't want anyone to fall for misinformation they see online or hear from the rumor mill. As of today, there is no sign that the IRS will be shut down or the tax deadline will be extended. The best move is to give the attention your tax return needs and file now."

It's also best practice to file a tax return electronically, because it's the fastest and safest way to get the information to the IRS. Similarly, for those getting a tax refund, the Tax Pros at Jackson Hewitt recommend taxpayers get their refund electronically deposited via direct deposit or on a prepaid card.

Additional survey findings include:

  • Nearly four in 10 people (39 percent) wrongly believe that taxpayers who file their Federal tax return late would not face a penalty from the IRS, even if a refund was due. In reality, all taxpayers face a failure-to-file penalty if they miss the Tax Day deadline and owe taxes. The penalty is five percent of the unpaid tax amount each month, which caps out at 25 percent. The IRS does not penalize late filing when it is a refund return.
  • Respondents who will receive a tax refund this year plan to use the money mostly for savings/emergency fund/retirement (26 percent), pay down debt (14 percent), and buy groceries (12 percent).
  • Most people (58 percent) are turning to a trusted tax professional for help on their taxes compared to just doing it themselves (27 percent), calling a family member (11 percent), or looking on social media (4 percent).
  • As a first-time filer, taxes can be complicated and confusing when figuring out which tax deductions and credits apply to them (35 percent), gathering the right documents (26 percent), deciding whether to file alone or seek a Tax Pro (23 percent), and understanding what happens if a mistake is made (13 percent).

Jackson Hewitt is also offering an exclusive incentive to file before the deadline. For a limited time, valid from March 1 through March 31, 2025, new clients can qualify for a promotion of paying no more than $149 to have their Federal tax return prepared at any participating Jackson Hewitt location.
