Colorado Springs, Fountain, Security Wide Field, Monument, Falcon and Castel Rock, With over 500 tax law changes in place for the past tax filing season and new laws that will take effect this year for the 2010 Tax Filing Season, knowing about the credits and deductions that you may qualify for can help you make a difference to your income tax return bottom-line. The Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® office provides area residents the opportunity to learn about individual income tax preparation with its upcoming 10 week Basic Income Tax Course.

Whether learning more about income tax preparation for personal reference or to pursue a career in tax preparation*, Jackson Hewitt Tax School will provide students with an informative – and enjoyable – introduction to tax preparation.

“Especially in this economy, it’s all about educating and empowering area taxpayers so they are informed about the tax information that can make a difference to their bottom-line,” said Kathryn Kim Ramos, Field Operations Manager of Colorado Springs and surrounding areas for Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. “We’ve structured the Basic Income Tax Course to cover the fundamentals of tax preparation in a 10 week period with convenient class offerings, with most meeting twice a week for three hours, in the daytime or evening.”

The Jackson Hewitt Basic Income Tax Course is a progressive tax education program for the beginner student – no prior tax preparation experience is required. Students work through sample problems and learn how to complete tax forms and schedules, covering a range of topics, from filing status, credits, deductions and IRS e-file, and more complex topics such as interest, dividends, capital gains, IRAs, depreciation, Schedule E and basis of property.

Jackson Hewitt Tax School is also an affordable option for everyone from recent college graduates to those recently displaced from jobs and stay-at-home parents to seniors.
