Johnson, CFA, an individual, with respect to Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Shares”), of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 12 shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 12 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Amended Schedule 13D.

1. ITEM 4 OF THE AMENDED SCHEDULE 13D IS HEREBY AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

SAVF has disposed of an aggregate of 313,851 Common Shares on the dates and at the prices set forth on the Schedule of Transactions attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and incorporated by reference herein. All sales by SAVF were made in the open market on the New York Stock Exchange. As a result of such dispositions, SAVF now owns 1,430,026 Common Shares, representing approximately 4.97% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

2. ITEM 5 OF THE AMENDED SCHEDULE 13D IS HEREBY AMENDED AND RESTATED IN ITS ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:

ITEM 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) SAVF is the owner of 1,430,026 Common Shares. These shares represent approximately 4.97% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Mr. Gold is a Managing Member of Shamrock Partners, which is the managing member of the General Partner, which in turn is the general partner of SAVF. As a result, Mr. Gold may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) the Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such entities. Mr. Gold disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by any of Dennis A. Johnson, Shamrock Partners, the General Partner or SAVF.

Mr. Johnson is a Managing Director of SCA, a Vice President of Shamrock Partners and the portfolio manager of SAVF, and as such has primary responsibility for the portfolio investment decisions relating to SAVF. As a result, Mr. Johnson may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) the Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such entities. Mr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by any of Stanley P. Gold, Shamrock Partners, the General Partner or SAVF.

As the general partner of SAVF, the General Partner may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,430,026 Common Shares owned by SAVF, constituting approximately 4.97% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As the managing member of the General Partner, Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,430,026 Common Shares owned by SAVF. Shamrock Partners has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 1,430,026 Common Shares owned by SAVF by virtue of its authority to vote and dispose of such Common Shares.

The percentage of ownership figures set forth above and in response to Items 5(a) and 5(b) assume that 28,783,120 Common Shares were outstanding as of November 30, 2009, based on the information contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on September 3, 2009.

(c) During the preceding 60 days, SAVF effected transactions with respect to the Common Shares on such dates, in such amounts and at such per share prices (excluding brokerage fees) as indicated on the Schedule of Transactions attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and incorporated herein by reference. All such transactions were effected in the open market on the New York Stock Exchange. Except as referenced above, none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Common Shares or has effected any transactions in the Common Shares during the preceding 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) On November 30, 2009, SAVF ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company. The reporting obligations of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Shares pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder have terminated.
