Free Tax Preparation to Be Offered at Cleveland Central Catholic High School

6550 Baxter Avenue, Cleveland, OH
Saturday, February 14, 2026
9am-2:30pm

CLEVELAND–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This year, Third Federal continues its partnership with CHN Housing Partners, Cleveland Central Catholic High School, Cuyahoga County, the City of Cleveland, Enterprise Community Partners, and several other non-profit organizations to offer free income tax preparation assistance for individuals and families earning less than $69,000. IRS-trained and certified tax preparers will help tax filers identify their eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit. Third Federal has supported the program since 2012.

The Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) was introduced in 1975 with bipartisan support to help working families with children rise above the poverty line. As a result, the EITC is widely considered to be the nation’s largest poverty relief program. Its role as a community economic development tool is significant, since most tax credit recipients use their refunds to purchase essentials in their local communities.

“Third Federal is proud to provide ongoing support for the community,” said Jennifer Robinson, Third Federal Community Development Manager. “Removing the stress, confusion, and cost that can be associated with filing taxes, qualified participants can use this free service to keep more of their own hard-earned money.”

This Super Refund Saturday EITC event will take place Saturday, February 14, 2026, from 9am – 2:30pm, at Cleveland Central Catholic High School, 6550 Baxter Avenue, Cleveland Ohio. Volunteer IRS-certified tax preparers will be available to assist participants in filing their returns electronically. Walk in appointments are available until noon.

Participants who wish to attend the event should go online to refundohio.org or dial 2-1-1 to make an appointment and to receive information on what identification and documents they will need to bring with them to receive the FREE tax preparation assistance.

Community agencies, organizations and municipalities also offering services at the event include: the City of Cleveland; CHN Housing Partners; Cuyahoga County Consumer Affairs; Third Federal; the IRS; and College Now.
