⚠️ Account Not Authenticated
Cause: You cannot access certain tax documents or information within your account.
Solution: Your account needs authentication to link your MyJH account to your Jackson Hewitt tax returns. Look for the 'Return Status' area on your dashboard or the 'Verify Account' option in the MyJH Account dropdown on JacksonHewitt.com. You may need a 16-digit Document Access Code from your tax documents or to complete a 'standard authentication' by verifying personal information that matches your tax return details.
⚠️ Did Not Receive Verification Code
Cause: The email or phone verification code did not arrive during account creation or multi-factor authentication.
Solution: If you don't receive the email code, check your spam or junk folder. On the verification screen, click 'Send a new code to my email'. For phone verification, ensure your mobile number is entered correctly; if not, click 'Edit my mobile phone number' to re-enter it, then resend the code.
