Checking on pricing for tax forms I paid for.
I feel that a $500 charge was too much. We did get a senior discount but still had to pay $386. Last year we paid only $250 to H&R Block.

Verified Reviewer |Poor management
First and foremost, I want to express my disappointment with the service at this location this year, and it is only the beginning of the holiday refund advance season. Let me get straight to the point.
I received a call on Friday to confirm my 9:00 a.m. appointment on Saturday, December 13th. I waited in front of the office for at least an hour. This location is at 4770 West Ann Road, Ste 2, North Las Vegas, Nevada 89031.
I called the number listed on the website and spoke to a lady named Charlie at the Rancho location. She said the tax preparers were running late but would be there soon.
There were four of us customers waiting outside. Eventually, I saw Tika arriveshe was not scheduled to work that day, but I want to mention that she was an excellent employee last year. She kindly opened the office and logged into her computer, but was unable to access her Jackson Hewitt account.
She called her manager, Pam, who asked to be put on speakerphone so everyone could hear. I expressed my frustration to Pam, the manager. Pam told Tika to send us to the Rancho location, which made no sense to me. If we had appointments, someone should have been there to assist us.
Pam apologized and said there was a family emergency with one of the tax preparers.
However, I found her to be very rude and unsympathetic, as if our concerns were not important. As a manager, she should have called us in advance and arranged to cover the appointments. Instead, she acted as though we were bothering her.
I have been a loyal customer for many years, but the service has gone downhill this year, especially under this manager, Pam.
It is disappointing to see such a decline at Jackson Hewitt. My family, friends, and Iabout ten of uswill no longer come here due to the poor service and unacceptable management.
- Bad customer service
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: BEWARE OF PAM THE MANAGER

Verified ReviewerAGENT WHO KNOW FORMS RECOGNITIONS TO THE SCIENCES OF THE EARTH SCIENCES OF MAN ON THE EARTH JOB DUTIESEE
I have never been paid in regards to the job duties the Sciences FBI air chief gives to employees about the Sciences administrations. If the Sciences is recognized onto the United States gravity terms administrations, then the main problem is the types of disregarding legal motions these persons take when refunds/payments come through mail systems rather than direct deposits from companies' computers.
- Are serious accomplishers
- No recognition for science jobs
Preferred solution: Full refund
Representative as not knowledgeable.
The representative as not knowledgeable and had to call for assistance through my entire experience. In addition I was told I could not use the 1098-T tax form when I filed even though I was claiming my college student because I was filing separately/married.
I had to go back later to finish my return and the agent kept having me write my personal information down on scrap paper! Finally, the charges for the return being filed by JH were far more than I have ever paid elsewhere. Outrageous.
I feel I was over charged and that my taxes may not have been done properly not to mention securely with being asked to write information down in a kiosk location. I will never use JH again and tell anyone who asks not to use this provider.
User's recommendation: My recommendation is NOT to use JH.

Verified ReviewerWhy does it seem that no one is concerned about a...
The company followed up to my scathing Google review and encouraged me to contact them. I contacted them and was met with the more disingenuous, uninspired, circular reasoning that prompted the rightfully deserved Google review. I believe it was a BOT who responded and bottom line, there was no resolution to the concerns I voiced.
Why does it seem that no one is concerned about a recent negative experience I had with a "tax professional"?
Tax Expert Talks
Their special price ended up costing over $400 more
The tax preparer told us the price of doing our federal senior short form taxes would cost $149 with an additional $70 to send out our state income tax forms. We had him send our forms out electronically to the appropriate government agencies.
A week later we get a deposit in our bank account ( not from the government but an institution called Republic bank) over $400 LESS than we were expected. We could not contact to talk to anybody about this discrepancy, the false advertising plus the transparency of fees. We were given a phone number that was never picked up but rather put in a maze of phone prompts and then back to the main menu. We are still looking for help with no results.
Facebook had similar complaints about Jackson Hewitt tax services but noticed many were deleted as well as mine.
Im not sure how this company has received five stars to me. It should be criminal how they run the business.
User's recommendation: please talk to anyone other than Jackson Hewitt and believing their advertising because everything is false. You will definitely be sorry you ever crossed paths with this company.

There was a family emergency. If anyone is unsympathetic, it is YOU., What part of "family emergency" for one of the tax preparers do you not understand?
Telling you something you do not want to hear is not the same as being rude, kiddo.
In an emergency, you cannot always call in advance, kiddo. Do you really think that your family and friends no longer going there will make them go out of business, kiddo?
When do you think this emergency-ridden tax preparer called off? 36 hours prior?
And no, none of your friends/family will go elsewhere. They will all line up to get their cash advances with the rest of the deadbeats getting far more back than they paid into the system.
Nobody called off!!! The lady Tika who works there was supposed to be working and she did not get called in and it was a lie Pam made up. Let me tell you just and fyi my friends and family are not going there because they are already scheduled with liberty and they make dam good money and out in the system
first of all, you must not listen to my message Chica the girl that came and opened the door for us. She was nice enough to open the door.
She was not on the schedule. She was coming by seeing us and she’s the only one that runs that store Tika she could not get in her password cause she was locked out, but she was also not scheduled that nobody was scheduled she said now do you get it?
There was no family emergency the girl Tico that owned it or should I say not own it works there seen us all standing outside now. What more can you not get?
