Terms & Conditions
100% ACCURACY GUARANTEE
With our 100% Accuracy Guarantee, if there is an error preparing your return, your local office will cover penalties and interest. You must: (a) notify your local office in writing or in person within 30 days of the date set forth in the first letter you receive from any taxing authority concerning your covered tax return (and promptly at any time you otherwise discover any error); (b) provide copies of all documents related to the claim or otherwise requested (including any letters from a taxing authority and all documentation supporting your tax return); and (c) allow an investigation into the penalty, interest, additional tax or refund shortfall, in any manner appropriate, and cooperate and assist in these efforts (including signing appropriate authorizations). You are responsible for paying the appropriate taxing authorities in a timely fashion, regardless of reimbursement, as the case may be. Coverage under the 100% Accuracy Guarantee is subject to payment of tax preparation fees. Guarantee does not apply to the following situations (“Exclusions”): (i) you provided incorrect, incomplete or false information to your local Jackson Hewitt Office or to Jackson Hewitt Inc.; (ii) your tax refund was reduced or not received as a result of a tax lien, judgment, support order, unpaid student or government related loans, back taxes, or any other collection activity; (iii) you are unable to substantiate a deduction, credit, or other position taken on the Covered Tax Return (whether it be a failure to produce sufficient documentation or otherwise); (iv) you failed to timely file the tax return or pay the taxes shown as owing on such return; (v) fraud; (vi) for errors caused by software or other technology malfunction; and/or (vii) for Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax preparation and/or related ACA services (collectively “ACA Services”), or for any changes in income from the prior year(s) and reconciled in the current tax year that may affect the Premium Tax Credit advance for which the taxpayer was eligible to receive, or for income estimates made in any tax year that may affect any tax year reconciliation process in Form 8962 Premium Tax Credit (collectively “Excluded ACA Services”). The only ACA Services included are Line 61 of the Schedule 4, Form 8962-Premium Tax Credit (but not for Excluded ACA Services), and Form 8965-Health Coverage Exemptions. Void if you refile with another tax preparation. Valid at participating locations only.
MAXIMUM REFUND GUARANTEE
Maximum Refund Guaranteed: Maximum refund guaranteed or your tax preparation fee back. If you are entitled to a larger refund, we'll refund the tax preparation fees paid to us for that filed return (other product and service fees excluded). Federal returns only. Same tax facts must apply. You must file an amended return with another paid tax preparation company and/or online provider by April 15, 2019 and submit your claim no later than October 14, 2019 with proof that the IRS accepted the positions taken on the amended return.
