O’Connor Launches Federal Tax Refund Program to Alleviate Burdensome Process for Hurricane Harvey Flood Victims

PR Web

Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 07, 2017

O'Connor, the largest tax consulting firm in the U.S., announces the launch of its Federal Tax Refund Program to help home and business property owners navigate available options for additional aid in recovery from hurricane season. Through federally implemented casualty deductions, the Federal Tax Refund Program is designed to securely hasten the process in coordinating and mitigating a significant federal income tax refund available for eligible flood victims impacted by Hurricane Harvey.

"The Federal Tax Refund Program is certainly the fastest way for Texans to get a meaningful amount of cash," said Patrick O'Connor, president, O'Connor. "Flood victims are likely eligible for a federal income tax refund regardless of flood insurance coverage."

O'Connor has been a long-term advocate for tax reduction and fairness in tax assessment. Since the destruction Hurricane Harvey left behind, the O'Connor team has spent the last month putting in place the Federal Tax Refund Program to help thousands of Texans receive additional aid. As a casualty loss of 10 to 30 percent is typical after a flood, the options available can be incredibly substantial as folks are seeking ways to rebuild and move forward.

Through the Federal Tax Refund Program, O'Connor will:
1. Eliminate the time it will take for flood victims to research the IRS regulations.
2. Coordinate with a tax preparer to get an accurate property appraisal.
3. Properly submit the required documents and information to the IRS to get a refund.
4. Provide the quickest method for flood victims to receive aid for their repairs.

To learn how you can start recovering on your property damage and more about how the Federal Tax Refund Program works, please visit aid4harvey.com or call 833.AID4Harvey.
