Why We Do What We Do
Why We Do What We Do
Even today, many women are going through difficult times and are burdened by tax debt due to loss of career, domestic abuse, divorce, catastrophic illness, and other personal circumstances.
Often, they do not have the economic resources to afford representation by an experienced tax professional.
Our goal is to provide free competent professional tax representation, including innocent spouse relief to low-income single women in Los Angeles County.

Now my tax situation is manageable because of the help and dedication of The Women’s Tax Resolution Center.” ~J.R., 2017
