Peoria Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® announced Dare to Compare, a promotional program that encourages Peoria area taxpayers to try Jackson Hewitt® this tax season. With Dare to Compare, new clients who have their taxes prepared and filed at participating Peoria area Jackson Hewitt offices through the tax filing deadline date of April 18, 2011, will pay $50 less than what they paid a competitor last year for tax preparation fees.*

“For any taxpayer with a receipt that shows they paid a competitor at least $150 last year for tax preparation fees, Dare to Compare is a great reason to come into a participating Peoria area Jackson Hewitt office to have their 2010 tax return prepared and filed,” said Mary Jo Roberts of Peoria Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. “In addition to the savings, Dare to Compare lets taxpayers know exactly what they will pay for tax preparation before coming into a Jackson Hewitt office – and they will know it’s less than what they paid someone else last year. The promotion also provides taxpayers with the opportunity to experience the high-quality, professional tax preparation services offered by Jackson Hewitt, particularly when the majority of taxpayers use small independent tax preparation companies.”

* Offer valid for tax preparation fees paid of $150 or more. Proof of last year’s tax preparation fee required. Does not apply to amendments or extensions. Product fees excluded. Valid at participating locations only and may not be combined with any other offer. Most offices are independently owned and operated.
