DISCLAIMERS:
- Perry JFS’ trained Ohio Benefit Bank™ counselors are NOT trained tax professionals.
They are community volunteers that have been trained to use the Ohio Benefit Bank™ software.
- There are certain situations that prevent an individual from using the Ohio Benefit Bank™
to file taxes. A partial list of these situations can be found here.
- Perry JFS’ trained counselors work diligently to ensure the correctness of their data entry on your behalf; however, if an
error occurs the IRS will reject the submission and send you a letter with the reason why. Once you receive the information,
contact Cassandra at 740-342-3551 ext. 636 so that the mistake can be corrected and your taxes resubmitted. There is no penalty for this kind of error!
- If you do not have all of your forms, Perry JFS’ trained counselors can not file your taxes. If you receive forms after you have
filed, you will need to contact a CPA to file an addendum on your behalf.
