Not really impressed. I guess if you just want basic service where someone just plugs the numbers into the computer and the computer does it thing then I guess it’s worth it.

Cheryl Whittle took great care with our 2025 tax return this year, which was a complicated year for us. She did an incredible job and took time to answer all our questions, and we had lots of questions in that we had just moved to Oregon a few months ago. We would highly recommend Cheryl at Jackson-Hewitt in Salem…
