FREE Tax Service through the Barren River Asset Building Coalition

I wanted to let everyone know that I have designed a new website that contains information about the Barren River Asset Building Coalition and what it is we do.  When you get a chance, log on to www.brabc.com check it out.  I think that this tool will allow us to reach many more taxpayers this tax season and in the future.  Please feel free to help get the word out on this new tool we have at our disposal and if you have any influence over your own agency's web site, please encourage your IT staff to add a link from your site to the coalition's.

Thank You,

Ryan Braber BRASS, Inc.
