SUCCESS STORY

Life changing tax credits

“This service has just been amazaing for me. Because I was on disability, I wasn’t sure if I needed to file my taxes and I didn’t know I was missing out on the Child Tax Credit. Being able to provide a bit more at Christmastime when my kids ask for new shoes or getting that dress for prom is really amazing.”

—Alicia, Tax assistance client
