T.J.Maxx gives you 30 days to return in-store purchases, but even though it shares a parent company with Marshalls and HomeGoods, you can't return a T.J.Maxx item at either of those stores — each brand only accepts its own returns.
Sister Brands, But Separate Return Policies
T.J.Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods are all owned by TJX Companies and share a similar holiday closure schedule, but their return policies are kept separate. According to the official policy pages on both tjmaxx.tjx.com and marshalls.com, an item bought at one store can only be returned to that same store — a T.J.Maxx purchase has to go back to a T.J.Maxx, not a nearby Marshalls or HomeGoods.

30 days from purchase, with a receipt, for a full refund to the original payment method |
| Online return window |
40 days from the order date for TJMaxx.com purchases |

Because T.J.Maxx's return policy is separate from Marshalls' and HomeGoods', always return an item to the same store banner where you bought it.
