If couples are filing a joint tax return, both must be present to sign the form. If you’re having trouble filling out your 2008 tax forms this can be a great opportunity to get some assistance. If you owe money on this year’s return please do not allow that to stop you from taking advantage of this service.

About Reed Allmand
Allmand's vision is rooted in his own financially precarious childhood in Abilene "My father always had difficulty holding a job and supporting our family, so after my parents divorced when I was 12, my sister and I got jobs to help make ends meet," he recalls. "I remember what it felt like as a child to worry that our car would be repossessed or home foreclosed on."
