PARSIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- It can be difficult to keep track of all the new tax changes that may influence your individual tax return.

On November 30, 2006 at 2 p.m. EST, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service(R) will present a free, 30-minute online seminar focusing on tax law changes affecting individuals. Attendees will learn about a variety of tax-related changes and updates, including the Energy Tax Act, Telephone Excise Tax Refund, Pension Act, charitable contribution changes, expired provisions and updates on inflation-adjusted deduction amounts.
