In terms of advantages, like Liberty Tax Service which was also founded by John Hewitt, the company offers both affordability and easy accessibility. For home and small business owners, Jackson Hewitt may provide an ideal tax preparation solution. But for those who need to file more complex tax returns however, they may need to look for other alternatives. As with Liberty, most of the company’s outlets are franchise-operated, and since most of the work in these outlets is just seasonal, it may be that the pool of qualified employees available to support you in the event you are audited may already be limited after the tax preparation months. Thus when you need in-person help with the IRS the most, they are nowhere to be found.
