Mail your entry with your name, address, email address, phone number and the date your tax return was filed, stated as “Federal Tax Return Filed on XX/XX/23.”
The contest runs through April 2. The IRS begins accepting tax returns Jan. 23, and this year’s tax deadline is Tuesday, April 18. Here’s our guide to the 2023 federal tax deadlines.
The most straightforward way is to have your income taxes done by Jackson Hewitt, which prepares 2 million tax returns a year at 5,600 locations all over the U.S. You’ll automatically be entered into the contest that way.
There are two ways to enter the sweepstakes, and you can enter only once.
There’s another way to enter the sweepstakes, and you don’t have to be a Jackson Hewitt customer. You do have to physically mail something, though — and you have to do your taxes.
But maybe you’re doing your own taxes instead. Hey, no problem! In fact, here’s our ultimate guide to filing your taxes in 2023.
To Enter the Sweepstakes, Do Your Taxes
That’s the idea behind a new sweepstakes contest from Jackson Hewitt, the second-largest tax preparation company in the U.S. (The biggest is H&R Block.)

Your entry must be in a No. 10 business envelope (a standard business envelope) with proper postage addressed to “Jackson Hewitt Double Your Refund Sweepstakes,” P.O. Box 16470, Rochester, NY 14616. Write your filing date on the envelope stated as: “Federal Tax Return Filed on XX/XX/23.”
Ready to stop worrying about money?
This is kind of a way to encourage early tax filing. Winners are chosen weekly in random drawings during the 12-week sweepstakes period. So the sooner you enter, the more chances you have to win.
