Early Filing Peak is Here

February 05, 2010 // Franchising.com // (Virginia Beach, VA) Liberty Tax Service reports an 18% increase in the number of returns filed through January 31, (compared to the same time period last year), and a robust 36% increase in revenue. Same store sales are also up over 25%. Liberty Tax grew its number of U.S. locations by 15% over the last year, and is now operating over 3,000 offices in the United States, and 250 in Canada.

"Clearly with the stagnant economy, more Americans due a refund are filing as early as they can. The popular option of downloading W-2s has accelerated the time it takes to deliver these vital forms. Another factor for Liberty Tax is our ability to continue serving our customers with disbursement options like our re-loadable debit card and bank products through our partnership with Republic Bank," according to John Hewitt, CEO of Liberty Tax Service.
