No Fraud at Jackson Hewitt
Following recent allegations from the Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service that several franchisees had engaged in fraudulent tax preparation activities, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service conducted an internal review and recently announced that none of its corporate employees were involved in any fraud. Former IRS Commissioner Fred Goldberg led the internal review and did not find any evidence that the tax prep chain’s corporate employees knew about the alleged fraudulent activities.
