Our Services

We assist clients who do not need to file a complete tax return. We screen clients to see whether they are likely to qualify. If so, we meet with clients, in our office or at pro bono clinics, to review the Schedule H tax form and the documentation needed. We assist with submitting the form to the Office of Tax Revenue. If the credit is not received within three months, we assist with calling the Office of Tax Revenue to learn the reason for the denial.
