Unfortunately, federal income tax refunds are expected to be smaller this year for millions of Americans.
Wouldn’t it be nice to double your refund?
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.)
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the company is holding a weekly “Double Your Refund” sweepstakes from now through April 2 — and you don’t even have to file your taxes with Jackson Hewitt to enter the drawing.
Over 12 weeks, 40 grand prize winners will get their federal tax refunds matched, to a maximum of $15,000. Even if you’re not getting a big refund, the minimum prize if you win is $1,500.
Additionally, every week 40 runner-up entrants will be randomly selected to win $400 apiece. How’s that for a nice tax season surprise?
