Standing With Our Community: Support for Undocumented and Mixed-Status Families
How De Leon Tax Services Is Supporting Undocumented and Mixed-Status Families
At De Leon Tax Services, we are more than a tax preparation business. We are a family. We are also part of the community we serve.
As a Latino-owned and family-run business with Mexican roots, we know firsthand the sacrifices immigrant families make. We understand the resilience it takes to build a life in a new country. We also recognize the fear and uncertainty many people are experiencing right now. Across our communities, increased immigration enforcement and deportations are affecting families every day. These realities are not abstract to us. They are personal. They reflect the experiences of our own family, our clients, and our neighbors.
Because of this, we have spent a great deal of time reflecting and having difficult but necessary conversations. This reflection has led us to ask ourselves an important question:
How can we help in a real and tangible way?
We didn’t want to offer only a statement of support or our condolences. We wanted to take action in a meaningful and impactful way. We wanted to move beyond words and toward something tangible. We wanted to do something that could lift some of the burden off people’s shoulders. That is why we are introducing community support options. These options are specifically designed to assist undocumented individuals and families facing deportation or immigration-related hardships. This includes individuals or their partners who are dealing with detention or deportation. It includes people who are now supporting their families after suddenly losing a primary source of income. It includes students whose family stability has been disrupted because an immediate family member was detained or deported. It also includes individuals who feel afraid to seek traditional assistance because of their immigration status.
Free Consultations for Undocumented Community Members
If you are undocumented and have questions about filing taxes, applying for or renewing an ITIN, or understanding your options, we offer free confidential consultations. This is a safe space to:
Ask questions
Learn what documents you may need

No obligation. No pressure. Just information and support.
Fee Waivers & Reduced Rates for Families Affected by Deportation
For families experiencing financial hardship due to detention or deportation, we offer:
Full or partial fee waivers
Reduced service rates
We understand that losing a household income can be devastating. Our goal is to remove financial barriers so families can still access essential tax and compliance services.
Zero-Interest Payment Plans
We also provide 0% interest payment plans for qualifying clients, allowing you to pay over time without additional financial burden.
We Proudly Serve ITIN Filers
You do not need a Social Security Number to file taxes. We assist with:
ITIN applications (Form W-7)
ITIN renewals
ITIN-based tax returns
Filing taxes using an ITIN is legal, confidential, and can help demonstrate tax compliance and good moral character.
Your Privacy Is Protected
Federal law strictly protects your tax information. De Leon Tax Services follows all IRS confidentiality rules and does not share client information with immigration enforcement.
We do not ask about immigration status.
We only ask whether you have a Social Security Number or an ITIN.
Our Commitment
We believe everyone deserves access to respectful, affordable, and confidential tax services, regardless of immigration status.
Our parents, grandparents, and community paved the way for us. Supporting our community is not charity. It is a responsibility.
If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out.
