It’s Your Money!
66% of moderate to low income families in Columbus are taken advantage of every year
during tax season. That is 38% higher than the national average.* Don’t let it happen to you or
someone you know!

You see TV commercials and think it’s a great deal, companies promising you a tax refund check on the spot. All you have to do is bring in your W-2 or last paycheck. Beware, many of these companies are keeping 50% of your refund and processing your tax return as a refund
anticipation loan. What’s worse, many are not telling you about valuable tax credits that can reduce your tax liability. Turn to VITA or the Beehive instead.
