PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Jackson Hewitt Tax Services has reported it doesn't have a contract with a bank to provide capital for its full refund anticipation loan program and won't have a program in place when tax season begins next week. Intuit also said it was possible that all ProSeries customers who want RALs won't be able to get them.

NEW YORK - H&R Block will open a flagship office in Manhattan's Time Square this week as the tax service company begins its move into major metropolitan areas that includes selling many of its urban offices to franchisees, a move the company has said would make it better able to attract new operators who might otherwise sign up with its competitors.
