I wished the jan loan went thru how about 2011

I had no problem with the nov loan but the jan loan didn't happen which I really needed. Will jackson hewitt offer it next year meaning both?These are life savers.Also where could I have cashed my check other than a check cashing place as at the time I had no account, and couldn't wait for it to clear in a new account.The wolf was inside the house and at my kitchen table having my coffee.I was told to go to TD BANK which said they didn't honor the checks, they suck,big time.

Jackson Hewitt ripped ua off 5500 last year

I am so pissed and my husband as well. We fell for the ipower cars as well, and we were ripped off 5500 dollars last year due to a very *** preparer they had. The taxes have a gold guarentee and this is something they are constantly avoiding. WE HAVE A 3 YEAR TIME PERIOD THAT WE HAVE FOR THE TAXES THAT WERE SCREWED UP LAST YEAR, AND THEY WONT TOUCH OUR RETURN, I AM CALLING THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND TURNING IN JACKSON HEWITT. IM DONE WITH JACKSON HEWITT AND THEIR OUTRAGEOUS CHARGES, AS WELL AS THEIR LIES LIES.

Jackson Hewitt deceives IRS

When doing my taxes after getting married my refund was going to be less than normal. The tax preparer asked me to wait while she spoke to her manager. They both came back to where i was sitting and told me to take my husband off and file as maried but seperated. Stating if we claimed to be seperated for @ least 6months out of the year that everything would be ok. i did not and got less back of course but I don't think they should be allowed to do this kind of thing it may get someone into trouble in the long run!

I can see your point and often wonder how these loop holes will catch up to us in the future, but the IRS gives you the option to file separately because no one can be forced to file together. In my state a legal separation is considered to be the day you do not live together.

This does not really pertain to your specific situation, but just giving a little information. :)

Jackson Hewitt is a rip off!!

Jackson Hewitt along with Meta bank(iPower visa Card)are just robbing hard working people like you and me and i'm telling you right now,one of this days not too far from now,somebody is going to get HURT and big time. Somebody have to stop this people and i'm hoping it won't the hard way... All that bull about charging you .50 for avery transaction and then if you use a bank ATM, the charge you 2.50 besides some other hidden charges,i think is a bad for business,people doing stuff like that just to make a lot of extra bucks..

:( I am also very displeased with Jackson hewitt. I have had my taxes done there for a few years now, but i wont anymore!

I have the ipower card and the savngs. DO NOT OPEN THE SAVINGS ACCOUNT. I have money sitting in that acount that I am unable to access because they cancelled the account without any of my permission, an they are talking about we are researching the

problem.

It is not a small amount of money either. The way this economy is right now the las thing we need t worryabout is companies screwing us for the money we work had for.

Guest

they ripped us off too. They charged us 260 dollars to do our taxes we got the assisted refund check under the impression that they gave that we would get our check prior to when the irs would get it to us.

They LIED! They misled us. Jackson hewitt will not issue a check until their bank recieves it from the irs then they will cut you a check 1-4 days after that. You can e file your taxes for 30 bucks an get them in the same amount of time direct from the irs.

Bottom line jackson hewitt is misleading and a huge rip off to hard working families. Don't go to them they will take advantage of you and your family an tell you what ever they have to to get your money an once it's all said an done an you sign the papers then out comes the truth.

Get it straight

First of all, Refund Anticipation Loans are just that, a loan. If it is denied, you have to wait 8 to 15 days for your refund. (longer if the IRS holds the funds for some reason). JH has changed banks and is offering RALs in many states. Secondly, even if the loan is approved, the loan is being handled by one bank then sent to Meta Bank to be loaded on the card. It takes more than a few hours to do this. Direct Deposit into your personal bank account has the same delay. You really need to read the information that comes with the card and on the forms that you sign for the loan. If you run up fees, you did it to yourself, JH didn't do it. No one would be waiting for a couple of months for their refund unless you chose to ignore that little letter that the IRS sent you informing you that they need to speak with you. Once again, your fault. JH preparation fees are form based, not percentage of refund. So, there is no "incentive" for them to file your return incorrectly. If you don't like the way someone has explained something to you, you can always ask for a manager or demand to speak to the owner (many offices are franchises and locally owned).

Jackson Hewitt they Lie

Had my taxes done on Fri 1/15/10, My preparer said that they were not doing the ipower cards this year nor were they doing the RAL but they were offering an AR. Found out after the fact that they were offering both. She told me that I would have my check on Sun or Mon as soon as the IRS excepted my return. Here it is 5 days later and no check. How can they tell you that you'll have a check in a certain amount of time and out and out LIE right to your face. On the papers that you have to sign it reads that you will get your refund in 8 to 15 days, when I questioned her about this she said " thats the way the computer is printing it out but not to worry you will have your check either Sun or Mon THEY LIE!!! Do not go to the office on Greenwood Ave, in Trenton,NJ... I have been going there for 6 years, next year I go back to H&R Block.

Ipower card is a rip off

Next year I will complete my taxes myself. Jackson Hewitt was a serious waste of time. It has been very difficult to speak to a person not a machine. I have never waited so long on my state taxes. It has been almost four weeks and still no state taxes. When I call they would refer me to someone else or give me local numbers to call, or 1-800 numbers to call. Never again will I use Jackson Hewitt. I suggest complete your taxes yourself. The fees are outrageous almost $300.00 dollars to complete your taxes. Rip off

I agree that the ipower card is a rip off. They tell you that you will be charged $2.50 per call to review your account.But what they dont tell you, is that in order to get to a live agent you have to go through their automated system.

Being that, you are actually paying 5.00 for that one call. :(

SCAMMED ME AND DON

jackson hewitt is full of s---! i went into the office thinking I am filing my taxes and got a BIG disappointment. I was told that money would b on my card between 1 to 4 hrs. LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! I walked out and my taxes was not even filed. The processor knew that,but I did not. I wanted a money now loan and wasn't asked upfront so at the end of conversation the lady says" your money will b ready in 8 to 15 days. I usually get an option to choose from I told her and she says u should have told me up front now I have to go back in and redo your taxes. She gave me the new I power card, I signed on a etch a scketch screen (which was new 2 me because I am used 2 signing the actual paper work!RED FLAG) and she was scamming me all along. I did not here anything from Jackson Hewitt all day until after 430pm and that is after i got home and called them and they did not answer my call. Next thing I know is they called right back leaving a message that they needed the I power card no. They waited all F------ day b 4 they built up enough nerves 2 call with another lie. The previous 2 yrs they messed up my state taxes and blamed it on me. THIS IS IT! I am moving on because I deserve 2 b treated better than this. I work 2 hard everyday ,and I am only trying 2 get what is mine. No begging or borrowing from any one just want what is mine.Now I have 2 cancel a doctor's appointment as a new patient because I have NO GAS MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!

I BEEN GOING TO JH FOR 12YEARS NOW & THEY ARE SCREWING ME AROUND. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $400.00.

THEN TELL ME I HAVE TO WAIT 8-15 DAYS FOR MY MONEY.

WHEN EVERY OTHER YEAR I ONLY PAID ABOUT $350.00 & GOT IT THE NEXT DAY. I WILL NOT EVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN.

Charging you fees

Jackson Hewitt Ipower card is a rip-off they charge you $2.50 everytime you dial the number on the back of your card., you can't even check your balance without being charge, you can't call and ask question or you are charge a fee, and every withdrawal is $2.50, I would like this to stop especially the fees they charge to prepare your taxes. I been a customer since 1982 and they been getting me out of my money with all the fees, they should be allow to charge so many fees! very angry customer, pissed!

Don't be so naive

This entire county is in the crapper due to the loan industry basically. Whether were using the ipower card or our bank cards. We're still paying to use our own money.I've never had a credit card and if I cant pay cash I just can't do it.However even I the cheapest woman in the world Did the Ipower thing this year. Time was of the essence and i did it. I new there would be all kind of trick fees. However I didn't expect to get screwed on the time part.If I had been told of this time thing up front. I would have opted for a different way to receive my return from the very generous Oboma of Oz.

h&r block is checking your taxes free and if they find misstakes fix them

Guest

Anybody with an internet connection can do their taxes for FREE, and have the IRS deposit their money in about 10 days! Do not pay these fees! Would you give a person $250.00 for mowing your yard when you are capable of doing it?

Guest

I have been filing with jackson Hewitt for 3 years and I have never had a problem...I dont understand why people do these loans,If you have your funds direct deposited you will get your refund in 10 days
