With Goals, you can transfer money from your main account Available Balance into the Goals. You can have up to six (6) Goals. When you're ready to spend the funds in a Goal, simply transfer the funds back into your Available Balance. Moving funds in and out is simple and can be done anytime you want.

: IMPORTANT: Money cannot be spent directly from a Goal. To spend money from a Goal, the money must first be transferred back to your Main Account Available Balance. There are no limits on the number of times you can transfer money from Goals to your Available Balance and there are no fees when you transfer money.

To transfer money from a Goal back to your main account, follow these steps:
Log in to your Serve Jackson Hewitt Account.
Go to Money In and select Transfer Money to Main Account.
When you get to the Transfer money into main account screen, select the Goal from which you’d like to transfer money from the list. Enter the amount you’d like to transfer to your main account and select Transfer.
Your money will be added to your Main Account Available Balance right away. You will see a confirmation that the transfer has been completed, along with a transaction ID number for reference.
: At this time, you cannot set up recurring transfers to a Goal.

Note: If you were previously enrolled in recurring transfers from your main account into a Goal, as of April 1, 2021 that functionality is unavailable. You may continue to make one-time transfers.
: No, subaccount users cannot create Goals.
: You can manage your text and email alert settings directly in My Profile.
Log in to your Serve Jackson Hewitt Account and go to My Profile.
Select Notification Settings, located under the Settings section.
Under the Text and/or Email column, check the box next to each type of alert you wish to set up. If you want to opt out of a text or email alert you are currently receiving, simply uncheck the appropriate box.
For balance alerts, enter the amount at which you’d like to get a notification if the balance drops below. For example, you would enter $10.00 if you’d like to receive an alert whenever the balance drops below $10.00. Please note that this is a required field and must be filled out in order to set up your alerts properly.

You can only use this feature once you have activated your personalized Serve Jackson Hewitt Card and completed Online Account Setup.

If you send money to someone who is not a Serve^® American Express^® Accountholder, then that person will receive email instructions on how to register for a Serve Jackson Hewitt Account. Once they set up their Serve Jackson Hewitt Account, they can begin to send and receive money.

Remember when you are ready to spend the money set aside in a Goal you will need to transfer the money from the Goal back to your Main Account. Note, the Goal will not be removed or closed when the balance is $0. You can use the Goal again or edit it to use for another goal in the future.

Once you have six (6) Goals, you will not be able to create another new Goal. You can use Edit Goal to rename a previous Goal for a new purpose.
