JACKSON HEWITT INTRODUCES REFUND JEANS: LIMITED-EDITION DENIM WITH POCKETS BIG ENOUGH FOR YOUR TAX REFUND

Jackson Hewitt Tax Pros have been getting ready for refund season, sharpening their expertise, and studying all the latest tax law changes. The good news is that these tax changes could mean thousands more in refunds, and nearly all taxpayers will benefit. Tax Pros are eager to help clients fill big pockets with the biggest refund possible. With oversized pockets designed for refund season, Refund Jeans symbolize the optimism of the upcoming tax season.

"We take tax season very seriously, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun," said Kim Hudson, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Jackson Hewitt Tax Services. "Refund Jeans are a playful reminder that when you file with Jackson Hewitt, our Tax Pros work hard so you get the biggest refund you deserve. If you are expecting a big refund, you might as well have the pockets to match."

Jackson Hewitt's Tax Refund Advance Loan
In addition to the chance to win through the Refund Jeans sweepstakes, Jackson Hewitt offers solutions designed to help taxpayers address their financial needs immediately. For the first time, Jackson Hewitt is offering clients a Tax Refund Advance loan throughout the entire tax filing season. This tax season, Jackson Hewitt clients, if approved, can get up to $3,500 in minutes, all day, every day of tax season on a prepaid card. In the past, Jackson Hewitt only offered this loan until mid-February, but this year it will be available throughout tax filing season to help clients when they may need money before receiving their federal tax refund.

Clients can apply for a Tax Refund Advance loan at any participating Jackson Hewitt office, as well as company-branded kiosk locations within Walmart. If approved, Jackson Hewitt clients can opt for the advance to be placed on a prepaid card for immediate use or depositing the funds directly into a bank account. Finance charges apply.
