Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) December 21, 2003

Jackson Hewitt® announces the opening of its new offices in Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra. Located at 1250 Beach Blvd., in the Worth Gallery, Jacksonville Beach and at 300 Solana Road in Ponte Vedra, the offices will officially launch on Jan. 5, 2004 and will be open extended hours to serve customers seeking tax preparation services.

The Honorable Robert Mardsen, Mayor of Jacksonville Beach, will officiate at the ribbon cutting ceremony scheduled for 10:00 am on Jan 5th at the 1250 Beach Blvd location. “I love to see businesses expanding their presence at the beach”, says Mayor Mardsen.

“We are so excited to open new offices at the Beaches,” says Katie McGuier, General Manager, Jacksonville-East. “We look forward to helping our neighbors get all the benefits possible from the new tax cut legislation. We’ve been hard at work learning what’s new for this tax season” says Steve Burnett franchise owner of the Ponte Vedra office.

There are lots of changes in the tax code this year centered on the tax-cut plan. The most immediate effect of the plan is a reduction in the bottom tax rate. The plan is structured to provide tax relief by lowering the tax rate, easing the “marriage penalty” and doubling the child tax credit. Taxpayers can now contribute more into IRA’s and 401(k) plans and will get more of a break for child and dependent care, education and adoption expenses. There are changes in income limitations for some that claim the Earned Income Tax Credit. Eventually, limitations on itemized deductions will be eliminated.

Jackson Hewitt provides same-day service, electronic filing of every eligible return prepared, loans on refunds – many within 24 hours – and they offer year-round service as well. Jackson Hewitt Tax Service®, the nation’s fastest-growing and fully computerized national tax preparation service, is currently the second-largest company in this category. A subsidiary of Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD), Jackson Hewitt Tax Service has more than 4,200 locations in 49 states and the District of Columbia.

For information on these new locations, call 223-7999 for the Jax Beach location and 363-1000 for the Ponte Vedra location. The Jackson Hewitt Tax Service website can be found at www. jacksonhewitt. com.
