The Weatherhead Tax Assistance Program (TAP) was founded in 2002 by two MBA students. In January, students are trained to complete tax returns for individuals with less than $35,000 of income. Then, throughout the filing season, students visit various sites around Cleveland to help low-income taxpayers prepare their taxes and ensure that the taxpayers are receiving all of the tax credits they are entitled to, including the earned income tax credit, which is considered one of the best anti-poverty programs in America.
