INDIANAPOLIS — With holiday shopping, travel and entertaining expenses adding up, Jackson Hewitt is launching a campaign to help eligible taxpayers access money before tax season officially begins.

The tax preparation company is kicking off its “Sleigh Your Holiday With Money the Same Day” campaign, featuring its Tax Pro Elves, Jack on a Stack and Tax Advance Annie.

The campaign comes as shoppers prepare for another busy holiday season. A recent Deloitte survey found consumers plan to spend an average of more than $1,600 this holiday season on gifts, groceries and travel.

Beginning Dec. 10, eligible taxpayers can apply for an Early Tax Refund Advance loan of up to $1,500 through participating Jackson Hewitt locations. Applicants can apply before receiving their W-2 forms.

To get started, customers should bring a recent pay stub and a government-issued identification card. Those approved for a loan can typically receive their funds the same day on a prepaid card offered through Jackson Hewitt.

The company says the campaign is designed to give eligible taxpayers additional financial flexibility during the holiday season.

Appointments can be scheduled by visiting JacksonHewitt.com. Loan approval is required, and terms and conditions apply.
