Announcement
ATAX Tax Services announced in March 2022 that it would prepare a final tax return at no charge for qualifying families whose loved one had died from COVID-19. The company called the month Cameron's Month in memory of Cameron Lowrey. Its announcement described the strain that paperwork can place on a family after a death and named his mother, Teresa DeFriece, as the inspiration for the offer.
Alberto Ortiz, identified in the release as ATAX's president, said the business wanted to help people facing a difficult administrative task while grieving. The announcement invited families to contact a local ATAX office and stated that exclusions applied. It did not provide a permanent, nationwide entitlement, and this historical page should not be read as a promise that free preparation remains available in 2026.
A final return can involve records, authorization, and rules that differ with the person's circumstances. Families seeking assistance today should confirm current services, prices, eligibility, and required documents directly with a qualified tax preparer. This account records the 2022 initiative and its purpose; it does not offer individual tax advice or revive an expired promotion.
