Open A Bank Account
Direct deposit is a safe and fast way to receive your tax refund. Make sure you have your bank account number and routing number available before visiting our VITA sites. A safe and affordable checking account helps you receive and manage your tax refund. If you do not have a checking account, we recommend using the insured, no overdraft, and low fee checking accounts through Bank On Cleveland.

Financial Coaching
The Cuyahoga EITC Coalition partners with several local organizations that can offer you an array of financial services such as: money management, home ownership, and personalized one-on-one financial planning with a professional.
When it comes to personal finances, planning makes the difference. When you set goals and structure your budget, you can avoid the pitfalls of debts and missed payments, and instead chart a course to major milestones, like buying a home or retiring.
A financial coach or counselor can help look at your financial history, your current situation, what your biggest stressors are to help you set achievable financial short term and long term goals
