Hewitt, check out my YouTube video below!https:\/\/youtu.be\/2_ldFjqjFmEHow Does Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution Work?Oddly, Jackson Hewitt lays out its process in the \u201cTerms and Conditions\u201d section of its website.The process consists of a consultation, discovery, and resolution phase.ConsultationThe first step for retaining Jackson Hewitt\u2019s services is requesting a free consultation on its website.The company claims that you will be speaking with a \u201cTaxPro\u201d during this phase, but based on the practices of other tax relief firms, this is likely more of an opportunity for Jackson Hewitt to sell you on its services.If you decide to move forward with Jackson Hewitt, the next step will be the discovery phase.DiscoveryBased on my research, you will be charged a $399 discovery fee during this stage.In the discovery phase, Jackson Hewitt claims it will provide a tax evaluation of your case, including agent enforcement status, deadlines, and records analysis.The company will also outline your options and the costs associated with each option.ResolutionIn the resolution phase, Jackson Hewitt claims it will assign you a tax resolution team to represent you against the IRS (and\/or state tax agency), which the company specifies can come from one of its many franchisees.On its face, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement \u2014 but it does make me question whether a franchisee has enough resources and qualified staff to resolve more complex tax debt cases, especially given that most Jackson Hewitt franchises likely devote their attention to, and make most of their money through, tax preparation services.I found only three client reviews on Jackson Hewitt\u2019s tax resolution services.In this limited pool of reviews, the former clients claimed that the company was noncommunicative during the whole process and\/or did not have the expertise to handle tax debt issues \u2014 not an uncommon complaint for tax relief firms in general.Beyond that, the company does not have a particularly robust tax resolution services section on its website.Sure, Jackson Hewitt advertises \u201cexpert support\u201d and \u201cpersonalized solutions\u201d to resolve your IRS issues and has a few articles on tax debt issues.But the company does not provide the menu of tax debt relief offerings (e.g., Offer In Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status, etc.) like other firms in this space do.In some ways, Jackson Hewitt\u2019s understated approach is a welcome change from the more aggressive sales pitches on other firms\u2019 websites.However, this approach, combined with the lack of client reviews on their tax resolution services (I found only three reviews), suggest the company does not prioritize this business line, which may mean less qualified staff and resources to handle these issues.This is further evidenced by the fact that Jackson Hewitt only outlines its process in the Terms and Conditions, and not anywhere else on its website.Of course, I have never retained Jackson Hewitt for its tax resolution services, so this is mere speculation, based on my review of the website and the lack of customer reviews.Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution RequirementsAs mentioned above, to sign up for Jackson Hewitt\u2019s tax resolution services, you must first request a consultation through its website.I could not find any minimum required tax debt for Jackson Hewitt to work with you or any other requirement to qualify for Jackson Hewitt\u2019s tax resolution services.Of course, the company outlines requirements in its Terms and Conditions once you retain the company\u2019s services, including providing accurate information and paying the required fee.Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution CostJackson Hewitt does not disclose its fees, but other sites show the following:.simple_table-49162 table tr th{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}.simple_table-49162 table tr td{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}Discovery Fee$399+Resolution Fee$1,500+Discovery FeeAs mentioned above, Jackson Hewitt charges an upfront $399 discovery fee to evaluate your tax case and outline your options for resolving your debts.The company advertises this as the Discovery Phase.Resolution FeeThere was limited information on the typical resolution fees charged by Jackson Hewitt.Based on one third-party site, the average fee was $1,500, which was consistent with the few client reviews on the company\u2019s tax resolution services.Based on the practices of other tax relief companies, I would presume that Jackson Hewitt\u2019s resolution fees would vary, depending on the complexity of the tax debt case.How Much Could You Save with Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution?The amount of money you can save depends on your specific tax situation.On its website, the company vaguely highlighted some instances where it was able to satisfactorily resolve their clients\u2019 tax debt cases.In other cases, the company was only able to secure a payment plan for the client.For example, in one of the reviews, one client claimed that the company told him that a payment plan was the only available option, based on an erroneous review of the information he provided.The client then claimed he reached out to the IRS and was able to resolve the situation himself.This review, if true, shows that the company failed to perform the necessary due diligence to determine whether options other than the payment plan were available to the client.Related: How Far Back Can the IRS Go?Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution Pros and ConsPros Low Resolution Fee: Based on the limited client reviews, the company\u2019s average resolution fee is $1,500, which is relatively lower than the resolution fees for other firms.Clear Money-Back Guarantee: The company clearly lays out that you can get a refund if you formally request your money back within 30 days of the Discovery Phase.ConsNot Available in All 50 U.S. States: The company\u2019s tax resolution services are not available for people residing in Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio and Washington.Potential Case Assignment to Franchisees: The company specifies that it can assign your case to tax specialists to one of its franchises, which may not have the resources or qualified staff to handle your tax case.Non-Prioritization of Tax Resolution Services: The company\u2019s lack of a robust tax resolution services section on its website and client reviews of these services, suggest that the company does not prioritize this business line. This may mean less resources and dedicated staff to handle these types of issues.Is Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution Legit?After scouring through reputable customer sites such as the BBB and Consumer Affairs, I found only three client reviews specifically reviewing the company\u2019s tax resolution services.The reviews were all mostly negative, and touched on the company\u2019s poor customer service and lack of expertise in tax debt relief matters.Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution Complaints and Customer ReviewsThe following table provides more detail on the three client reviews I came across in my research:.simple_table-49166 table tr th{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}.simple_table-49166 table tr td{\ttext-align: center;\t\t}ReviewerIssueMy Take (Assuming Reviewer\u2019s Claims Are True)Mike06\/01\/2020ConsumerAffairsMike claimed that he could never get a straight answer on the best option to resolve his tax debts with the IRS or the costs associated with Jackson Hewitt\u2019s representation. According to Mike, not only were the representatives handling his case rude, condescending, and unprofessional, but they also seemed to lack any tax background or tax audit experience.Although vague, Mike\u2019s comments, if true, are particularly concerning for a few reasons.First, Mike\u2019s inability to get a straight answer on the best option to resolve his case suggests that the company representatives either (1) failed to adequately review his specific case to determine his options, or (2) lacked the expertise to handle his tax issue. The last point is further bolstered by Mike\u2019s claims that they \u201cseemed to lack any tax background or tax audit experience.\u201dSecond, having a tax debt with the IRS is a stressful ordeal. The company\u2019s representatives should keep this in mind in every communication with Mike instead of being rude and condescending.James C.11\/08\/2021BBBJames claimed that he paid the $399 discovery fee to Jackson Hewitt to investigate his tax issue with the IRS. According to James, the representative assigned to his case provided only \u201cvague details\u201d of his tax debt issue and indicated that the local franchise office would contact him.James claimed that no one ever followed up with him on his tax issue. He believes \u201cthey got my money and then ghosted me.\u201dIf James\u2019 claims are true, the representative\u2019s handling of his case is troubling. Jackson Hewitt claims that a dedicated tax resolution team will evaluate your case and provide options for resolving your tax debts with the IRS (and\/or state tax agency) during the Discovery Phase. In this case, however, the representative could not provide anything to James beyond \u201cvague details,\u201d a far departure from the robust review the company advertises in the Discovery Phase.What is equally troubling is that no one ever followed up with James on his tax case, despite promises that the local office would contact him. This illustrates the potential issues that can come from the company assignment of your case to a local franchise - tthey may not have the resources, expertise, or bandwidth to help clients with their tax debt problems.Anonymous BBB complaint10\/09\/2020The former client claimed that s\/he retained Jackson Hewitt\u2019s services in October 2019 and paid a $1,400 fee to the company. According to the client, the company told her that a payment plan was the only available resolution, despite previous assurances that she could qualify for other relief options. The client attempted to seek a refund, but was not able to reach any representative assigned to her case. According to a response from the company, Jackson Hewitt agreed to refund the client a mutually agreed upon amount.This client\u2019s experience, if true, highlights the disconnect between what the company promised him or her and what the company actually delivered. This is a common complaint of tax relief companies in general \u2013 they use a \u201cbait-and-switch\u201d approach where they give lofty promises to the client in order to collect the fee, and ultimately deliver a result far short of that promise.Additionally, while the client ultimately received some kind of refund from Jackson Hewitt, the fact that s\/he had to follow up repeatedly (to no avail) and file a BBB complaint illustrates the potential difficult in getting your money back. Guarantee DisclaimerJackson Hewitt provides a money-back guarantee if a request for a refund is made during the Discovery Phase or within 30 days of the company providing the Discovery Phase service.Practically, this means that you can only get back your $399 Discovery Phase if you request it within the prescribed timelines.There were not many reviews about the company\u2019s guarantee policy.In a BBB complaint, however, a client had to repeatedly follow up and file a complaint in order to get some kind of refund from the company.It is unclear whether this client requested the refund within the prescribed timeline, but it does show potential difficulty in obtaining a refund even if such request is made during the prescribed timeline.Alternatives to Jackson Hewitt Tax ResolutionBelow is a comparison of Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution and other established tax relief companies:.btn.btn-blue.dift:hover, .btn.btn-default.dift:hover {color: #5378eb;border-color: #5378eb;background: #fff !important;}\t\t\t Jackson Hewitt Tax Resolution ServicesChoice Tax Relief(My Company)Optima Tax ReliefCommunity Tax \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPros and Cons\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVisit\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead Review\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVisit\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead Review\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVisit\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead Review\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVisit\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFree Consultation\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYes\t\t\t\t\t\tServices\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTax ResolutionTax Preparation\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTax ResolutionTax Returns\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTax ResolutionTax Preparation\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTax ResolutionTax Preparation\t\t\t\t\t\tInvestigation Fee\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$395+\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$395+\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$495+\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$495+\t\t\t\t\t\tResolution Fee\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$1,500 (Average)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$3,000 (Average)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$1,200 -
