Jackson Hewitt offers a single package for all tax situations that's cheaper than the lowest-cost packages from TurboTax and H&R Block before applying any discounts. However, Jackson Hewitt does not offer a $0 package, even for simple tax situations. The IRS estimates up to 70% of Americans qualify for free online tax preparation services, so you shouldn't pay if you don't have to. Do it yourself online Jackson Hewitt's single, flat-rate bundle covers one federal return and unlimited state returns for $25. If you use the DIY option to file in 2022, you'll be locked into the $25 rate for three years.   Homeowners, parents, freelancers, investors, and everyone in between can file with this package. Companies like H&R Block and TurboTax usually charge more as your situation gets more complex, plus an additional fee for each state return you file. Hire a tax pro Jackson Hewitt offers two ways to hire a tax professional to prepare your return. Drop off your income and tax documents at an office and a tax pro will prepare your return and file it. There are nearly 6,000 Jackson Hewitt office locations across the US, about half of which are in Walmart stores. The cost of preparation services will be determined in the store. Book an appointment and meet with a tax pro face-to-face at a Jackson Hewitt office.  Jackson Hewitt previously offered Tax Pro From Home, an online tax service that lets you speak with a professional. Tax Pro From Home is no longer available.  If you'd like to hire a tax professional, the price will vary depending on the expert you choose and how complex your tax situation is.
