The “Circuit Breaker” offers a tremendous financial opportunity for those who qualify.
Seniors can apply for the Circuit Breaker and receive other tax services at ABCD’s downtown headquarters, 178 Tremont St., Boston, near the Green, Orange, Red and Silver lines! Services are also available at neighborhood sites throughout the City of Boston. For more information, call 617-348-6588.

Seniors who are faced with this problem can work with ABCD and the state Department of Revenue to refund the money and have the penalties reversed.
