#1. I live in Kentucky and I am a woman. It is worst than the comments posted about Liberty Tax. Liberty Tax is an absolute one-sided business investment to the benefit of the franchisor without any mercy to the franchisee. They have yet to provide a list to third parties and officials who have requested answers to how many franchisees have turned a profit over the years as requested.
#2. There are other businesses that make 100k to a million in profit each year for seasonal work. I would never tell you but in case you are ever hungry after losing your Liberty Tax stores I can suggest you to go to Florida. Ship blue spruce, scotch pine, douglas and frazier fir Christmas trees after renting a corner lot. Bring a camper and a water hose for a shower because people will steal off your lot if you do not stay on site. This is also a business you cannot be absentee owner of. Sell the trees for 100 to 300 dollars all day and night. Instead of sleeping, make door wreaths from the bottom trim of the trees and sell those for 50 to 200 dollars. They smell so good. You will make 100k plus in profit if you stay stocked and have enough people to help wrap and load the trees on customer’s cars that fill your parking lot at all hours. Be sure to get lights for the night under your extra large tent. Visibility is the only marketing you need for the demand of the area.
Other businesses that make much more are seasonal because of weather catastrophes such as contracting after a hurricane, hailstorm or tornado. Billions in the insurance no-fault claims restoration industry.
#3. I can understand why many are bitter and at John Hewitt and Liberty Tax Service. Everyone has their story and you will have your own. I am good at everything I do and the mirror looks beautiful for me. I usually kiss it, instead of John Hewitt’s ass these days.

@testaipra- Keep drinking the kool aide, the numbers Liberty posted were from the new franchisees (Hewitt calls them suckers) and their free returns. Even as free returns, Liberty does not show great promise with a 000.9% increase in number of returns. If I were Hewitt, I’d be thinking about that island in the carribean where the federal authorities can’t touch me. What a liar and crook!
