BLP sources date March 2012 John T. Hewitt born 1949 in Detroit, Michigan is a U.S. entrepreneur, the co founder of Jackson Hewitt and sole founder of Liberty Tax Service .

In addition, John Hewitt was a pioneer in the development and use of specialized tax preparation software , which is now the industry s standard practice. Early career Hewitt began his career in 1969, while still a student at the University at Buffalo , by attending a tax preparation course offered by H&R Block . Finding the topic quite interesting, he subsequently obtained employment with that company as a tax preparer. Hewitt perceived a need for technological innovation within the tax industry and he left H&R Block in order to pursue that opportunity. Working alongside his father, he pioneered the development of decision free tax preparation software. However, H&R Block was not interested in this new way of doing business. This led Hewitt to found a tax preparation service that would exploit the efficiency of the new technology. Co founder of Jackson Hewitt That goal would materialize in 1982 in Hampton Roads, Virginia after Hewitt and other investors acquired the six offices of a local tax preparation company, Mel Jackson Tax Service and launched the Hewtax interview program the first of its kind in the industry. Hewitt developed the software with his father Daniel. In 1988, the company changed its name to Jackson Hewitt. By 1986, IRS personnel also began seeing the advantages of computerized filings.
