## Story

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® opened nearly 3,000 in-office locations nationwide today to help taxpayers who want to get an early start on their taxes or apply for an Early Refund Advance, a 0% APR loan from MetaBank®. Early Refund Advance is available to new and existing clients who could access up to $500 before W-2s are available.

Beginning today, clients can stop by a Jackson Hewitt office with a pay stub, or other income verification, to start their tax preparation and apply for the Early Refund Advance, the No Fee Refund Advance, and the Go Big Refund Advance.

Once W-2s are available in January, qualified clients could get the remainder of up to $3,200 with the No Fee Refund Advance when they complete their taxes. Both Early Refund Advance and No Fee Refund Advance offers clients an advance based on their anticipated refund amount with no fee and 0% APR. The Go Big Refund Advance loan offers between $1,000 and $6,400 and is provided by MetaBank at participating Jackson Hewitt locations. The Go Big Refund Advance has a fee of 2% of the loan amount.
