June 17 (Reuters) - A U.S. bankruptcy trustee appointed printing services firm RR Donnelley & Sons Co to the official committee of unsecured creditors in the Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc bankruptcy case.

Jackson Hewitt, the second largest U.S. tax preparer, filed for a pre-packaged Chapter 11 in May, just weeks after the end of the tax season as a way to restructure a bank loan coming due in October.

Other members of the committee include Christian and Elizabeth Harper and Sherita Fugate, who had both filed separate lawsuits against the tax preparer.

The case is In re: Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, No. 11-11587. (Reporting by Tanya Agrawal in Bangalore; Editing by Roshni Menon)
