In fact, 51 percent of individuals admit they spend more time worrying about their tasks than actually completing them. This procrastination, which Jackson Hewitt refers to as ‘proTAXination,’ is precisely what the ‘Get It Done Day’ seeks to combat.

Moreover, the relief that comes from completing important tasks is palpable. About 61 percent of Americans feel a sense of relief specifically about filing their taxes, and 53 percent report feeling relief after completing any significant task.
Jackson Hewitt operates over 5,100 franchise and company-owned locations across the nation, including 2,600 locations within Walmart stores. This extensive network ensures that help is readily available for those who may need assistance with their tax filings.
Additionally, 81 percent of Americans indicate that the prospect of a potential refund would motivate them to file earlier, while 62 percent would be encouraged to act sooner if they had tax help available.
As ‘Get It Done Day’ approaches, Jackson Hewitt is committed to making tax filing as straightforward as possible, ensuring that community members can access the support they need. This initiative not only aims to alleviate the stress of tax season but also fosters a sense of community as individuals come together to tackle their financial responsibilities.
