JACKSON HEWITT'S ANNUAL DOUBLE YOUR REFUND SWEEPSTAKES IS BACK FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A DOUBLE REFUND

Tax company kicks off 2024 tax filing season giving hundreds of taxpayers the chance to win thousands of dollars

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Having awarded over $500,000 to more than 870 winners, Jackson Hewitt Tax Services® continues to reward both new and returning clients. Now, for the third year, clients have the chance to win thousands of dollars in Jackson Hewitt's popular, "Double Your Refund" sweepstakes. Now through April 15, 2025, taxpayers will have a chance to double the size of their Federal tax refund during Jackson Hewitt's 15-week sweepstakes, plus be entered into a final season-long drawing. Each week, there will be two grand prize winners who will win a prize equal to their federal refund, with a maximum match of $10,000 and a minimum prize of at least $1,500, so even with no refund or a small refund, there's a chance to win. There will also be 20 weekly runner-up winners selected to win $200.

"At Jackson Hewitt, we are tax experts dedicated to serving our clients and helping them receive the biggest tax refund possible each tax season," said Kim Hudson, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Jackson Hewitt Tax Services. "In addition, we are proud to continue giving hardworking Americans the chance to win money by hosting the Double Your Refund sweepstakes. The sweepstakes has allowed us to celebrate with hundreds of our clients over the last couple of years, as they've won thousands of dollars making a meaningful difference in their lives. From families being able to afford a long overdue vacation, making needed home improvements, catching up on bills, to even placing a down payment on a home; the winners' stories continue to motivate us to help new and existing clients get the money they deserve this tax filing season."

Taxpayers who file a 2024 Federal tax return at any Jackson Hewitt location within the sweepstakes period will be automatically entered into the sweepstakes. And new this year: every Jackson Hewitt client who elects to have their tax refund deposited on a prepaid card offered at Jackson Hewitt will get a bonus entry for another chance to win in the sweepstakes. Taxpayers who don't file a tax return with the company also have the chance to enter the sweepstakes by mailing in an entry form by the following Wednesday following the week that their Federal tax return was filed within the sweepstakes period.

Furthermore, all entrants throughout the weekly drawings period will also be automatically entered into the final season drawing, giving all entrants another chance to double their tax refund. The additional drawing will also have two grand prize winners and 20 runner-up winners whose names will be drawn at the completion of tax season.
