In this episode of Catalyst Radio we hear about some income tax filing assistance that many may not know is available, through the Kent County Tax Credit Coalition.

Brenda Brame, program manager for the Coalition at Heart of West Michigan United Way, comes in studio today to describe some of the available services that include free tax preparation and e-filing, explain an often-missed tax credit that is available for many, and also to talk about the ALICE Project that represents many in the community that have difficulty making ends meet.

Brame also describes this weekend’s free Show Me The Money Day fair that offers informational assistance with home ownership, health care, Friend of the Court issues, and more.
