TAP's signature Tax Preparation Program puts real money in the hands of hardworking, low-income families by utilizing government-established benefits in the form of refundable tax credits which not only reduce our clients’ tax burden, but also produce disposable income beyond the tax owed.

A family eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit can receive a refund of up to $4,716, as well as additional money for withholdings and other refundable credits. Unfortunately, many low-income families remain unaware of these tax credits. TAP’s tax preparation services enable our clients to avoid commercial preparers and costly refund anticipation loans (RALs), which disproportionately affect low-income families.

The real money these families get back helps them meet their most basic needs:

• housing,
• food,
• utilities,
• clothing, and
• school supplies.

In over 14 years of service, over $92 million has been returned in tax refunds, providing immediate financial assistance to struggling families.
