This involves my 2007 Taxes prepared by Jackson Hewett. I retired this year so I took all my information and had them prepare taxes. On correcpondence dated March 16, 2009 I received a notice from the Federal Government that I owed an additional 6,720 plus penalties of 1,344 and interest of 488 for a total of 8,512. Also on my state taxes I will own another 840.00. All I have now is social security as I used funds last year to pay off home and auto I immediately took copy of tax return in to Jackson Hewitt - they kept for a few days and then indicated that I had rolled over 20,000 and that was where the error was and I was responsible for the 8,512. I told the gentleman, a Mr. James Black, that I did not roll over any funds.

Getting no satisifaction I went to the Internal Revenue Office on April 15, 2009 to have them take a look and see where the error was. He found it immediately on my 1099R form box 7 Distribution Code is 7 which is normal distribution they coded on my return a G which is a driret rollover causing the 20,000 difference in income and resulting in my having to pay 8,512. The IRS indicated that was an error on the part of Jackson Hewett - just not looking at the materials supplied properly. I believe that they should satisify this amount due not me.

Over 12,000 dollars due in additional taxes because of their error and their total lack of concern for their actions

I filed my taxes on Febuary 09,2009. MY income from last year was three thousand five hundred dollars. THey charged me one hundred eighty seven dollars to file. March 09,2009 I recieved a letter regarding my stimulius check. I contacted the IRS they informed me that i did not have enough income for last year and there was no reason for me to pay to have my taxes filed. They also informed me that I would recieve a stimulis check in the amount of two hundred eighty two dollars and that I needed to contact Jackson Hewitt.

The first time I contacted them they told me I had to get my mney from the IRS. I contacted the IRS a second time they told me that Jackson Hewitt recieved a check from them and to contact them again regarding my check. So I contacted Jackson Hewitt a second time and they told me they can charge whatever they want to file my taxes. They also told me that they recieved my stimulius check in the amount of two hundred eighty two dollars, that they were going to charge me one hundre fifty sevens ollars in fees so I would only recieve one hundred and fifty dollars. Some one needs to do something to this company.

I worked for jackson hewitt this tax season I was working 60-70 hour weeks for them working between 4 different stores never had a problem. I just had my review and it said how great i worked and how i should be a manager and everything. about 2 weeks after that i was working at a store on sa sat took in cash money i called the manager to tell them the money was there and left a note to remind them come monday afternoon the manager calls me and tells me the money is missing.

That thurs the area manager fires me telling me know one else had a chance to take it. I asked her to give me a lie detector test but she said no. They did not send me my last pay check plus because they fires me before april 15 they are not going to send me my bonus which was going to be between 1 and 2 thousand. They are telling all the other employees i quite. They sent an email to all the managers telling them not to write me a ref. letter or any thing. I found out that area manager gets to keep all the bonus money from the people she fires. They never had a problem with me before but yet the first thing that comes up they fires me and keep my bonus money.

On 4-14-09 i went to Jackson Hewitt to amend my taxes and add 1099 to the 1040x. I was assisted by Nakia T. who was very unprofessional who loudly and embarrassingly began talking about the IRS is going to pentalize me for certain things then she claim to need additional information to file my 1099 forms when i got back with the addition information she still claimed she could not file the forms. I told Nakia the forms has already been filed electronically all i need her to do is to add the info to the 1040x. She still acted if she did not understand.

This began to upset me because i had to set and waste valuable time dealing with someone who refuse to do their job.I talked with the owner A. Raza who claimed he did not know of the situation and circumstances which i spoke with him about concerning Nakia. He then tried to sweep the whole matter under the rug. Then he tried to tell me what the law is but could not produce the law for me in black and white. I told him i will let a judge determine what the law is.

I am a very unsatisfied customer who has been mistreaded by this unprofessional company who suppose to be in the business of filing taxes but refuse to file taxes. Something need to be done about this kind of nonsense. Money and time wasted
