Company Description:
Jackson Hewitt is the second largest tax return preparer in the United States, with a nationwide network comprised of 4,295 franchised offices and 642 company-owned offices as of January 31, 2004. We have grown rapidly, more than doubling the number of offices in our network since 1998 and our annual volume of tax returns prepared since 1999. Despite our growth and industry position, the 2.8 million tax returns our network prepared in 2003 represented less than 4% of the total paid tax return preparer industry in the United States.
