ABOUT US
Since 1997, Liberty Tax has helped millions of Americans get their largest possible refund or their money back.*
There’s a reason we carry the torch. To light the pathway. Because we believe there is nothing more liberating than financial freedom. That’s why we’re re-imagining everything from the way our customers engage with us and file their taxes, to how they receive and spend their refunds, to offering the financial products and services they need, when they need them most.
History
On September 1, 1997, Canadian tax franchisor U&R Tax Depot was acquired. In 1998, the company opened five offices in the U.S. and became Liberty Tax Service®. In 2021, Liberty Tax Service was acquired by NextPoint Financial, an all-inclusive marketplace for financial services empowering hardworking and underserved consumers and small businesses to get to the “NextPoint” in their financial futures.
Since 1997, Liberty Tax has helped millions of Americans get their largest possible refund or their money back.*
