Life Changes

In addition to new tax laws and late-breaking tax law changes, life events and life changes can often have a dramatic impact on your tax return.

There are a lot of deductions and credits in the tax code. Even if you haven’t qualified for them in prior years, you may now be able to get a new credit or deduction due to a life change. For example, if you have gotten married or divorced, moved, taken a new job, become a parent, or started to support a dependent parent, you may have new tax benefits that you did not have in prior years.

When you experience a life change, it is probably a good idea to seek out a trained and experienced person to help with your tax return. Even if you have prepared your own tax return for years, with a life change, things could be much different with new areas of opportunity.

At Jackson Hewitt, preparing tax returns is what we do. Our proprietary, interview-based software allows our tax preparers to tailor the tax interview to your situation so we can accurately identify all the deductions you’re entitled to and work to get you the biggest refund you deserve.
