A $10.8 million Jackson Hewitt settlement resolves claims the company forced tax preparers into unfair no-poach agreements.
The settlement benefits individuals who worked in a tax preparer position at a company-owned Jackson Hewitt location between Dec. 20, 2014, and July 3, 2024.
According to plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit, Jackson Hewitt forced its tax preparers to sign unlawful no-poach agreements. These agreements allegedly reduced wages and benefits to artificially low levels and eliminated competition between Jackson Hewitt and its co-conspirators, such as Tax Services of America.
Jackson Hewitt and its subsidiary Tax Services of America are tax preparation services.
Jackson Hewitt and Tax Services of America haven’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $10.8 million to resolve the wage and hour class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Jackson Hewitt settlement, class members will automatically receive a proportional share of the net settlement fund based on the hours they worked as a tax preparer during the class period.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Sept. 30, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Oct. 11, 2024
No claim form is required to receive Jackson Hewitt settlement payments.

I started in 2010 and have not received any of the settlement.
I started work for Jackson Hewitt in 2023-2025 not many hours in the year 2023 but I did put in more hours in 2024. Either way I should be included in this class action suit.i am still employed w/ seasonal work for JH at this time.need more information on this because I know that I am apart of this suit.
I need to be included in this lawsuit.
Yes .my name wanda Alexander 703 362 6420
Today I received a Check for about $1,200, a W-2 for around $700 and a 1099-Misc for around $700 called “Other Income”. The letter indicated the actual award was around $1,400 but they took out for FIT, SS and Medicare thus the lower payment amount.
How many years did you work for Jackson Hewitt?? Approximately how many hours????
I’ve been added to this because i was an employee. When will we know the results
I got my 1099 in the mail for it, but no check. On the phone with the people know to see why.
