Tax Change Beneficiaries?

Changes to the tax laws may be coming.   If that happens, watch companies such as H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) and Jackson Hewitt Tax Service (JTX).   When tax codes change, more people may require personal advice.  We may also see more married couples filing separately instead of jointly to avoid higher tax bills based on income.   That means more returns filed.

Additionally, if more individuals receive rebate checks or the earned income tax credit, they may look to companies such as those for quick service.   Each company has faced its own set of problems in the past few years, particularly over tax rebate loans, but there could be more need for in-person tax service either way.
