Small mistakes on tax filings are leading to refund delays, lost checks, and growing frustration among taxpayers.
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 24, 2025 / A growing number of Americans are seeing their tax refunds delayed or lost altogether due to something as simple as an incorrect mailing address. According to experts at Clear Start Tax, these common errors are causing unnecessary headaches and financial setbacks – and the problem is expected to intensify during the upcoming tax season.
While many taxpayers choose direct deposit, millions still receive paper checks by mail. A single typo, outdated address, or failure to update the Internal Revenue Service can cause those checks to be returned, reissued, or in some cases, never claimed.
“We’re seeing more people lose access to their refunds simply because their address didn’t match IRS records,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “For many families, a delayed refund isn’t just inconvenient – it can impact bills, rent, and other critical expenses.”
Address issues can also create additional verification steps, especially as the IRS expands its identity protection protocols. In some cases, taxpayers may wait weeks or months to receive funds they were counting on.
“The good news is this problem is completely preventable,” the spokesperson added. “Verifying your address with the IRS, setting up direct deposit, or updating your information as soon as you move can make the difference between a smooth refund and a long delay.”
Tax experts urge filers to double-check their address on every tax form, notify the IRS promptly of any changes, and use secure delivery methods when necessary. Direct deposit remains the fastest and most reliable way to receive a refund.
By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.
About Clear Start Tax
Clear Start Tax is a trusted national tax resolution firm helping individuals and businesses address IRS and state tax challenges. With a team of experienced tax professionals, the company provides strategic solutions for back taxes, liens, levies, and tax relief programs. Clear Start Tax has helped thousands of taxpayers regain financial stability and peace of mind.

BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESS Newswire / October 24, 2025 / The front door of the historic Enoch Pratt Free Library’s Central location is about to flip fire red, transformed into a commanding blueprint replica of Carmelo Anthony’s childhood home on the 1100 block of Myrtle Avenue.
House of Melo_Exterior
All of this to signal a shakeup to the Pratt Library’s regular programming as the interactive “House of Melo” exhibit celebrating the 10-time NBA All-Star, entrepreneur and philanthropist opens to the public on Oct. 25 and runs through Dec. 20.
“Baltimore didn’t just raise me-it instilled in me the grit and perseverance I carried throughout my career. The community there helped shape who I am today. I want people to really feel that-to see the heart of the city through my story and be inspired to give back, uplift others and never forget where they came from,” says Anthony.
A ribbon cutting with remarks from Anthony will take place at 10:00 a.m. Eastern on Oct. 25.
Memorabilia giveaways will be peppered throughout programming meant for all ages that includes a Cathedral Street Block Party with food trucks, music and games.
Custom limited-edition library cards offer a commemorative piece of the experience encouraging repeat visits beyond the exhibition period.
The Sanctuary Collective’s community development center, located across the street from the library, will host special tournament programming that day and into the weekend. Numerous youth athletes have turned to The Sanctuary for affordable pathways to develop their game to heights. NBA players Cam Whitmore and Bub Carrington, for example, have been coached by Team Melo and Sanctuary CEO & Programming Director Sam Brand.
Immersive installations with custom audio elements guide visitors through pivotal steps in defining a legacy. Anthony’s early years in Baltimore, where he arrived at the age of eight following his father’s death. McDonald’s hangs with friends. Being the designated DJ for all carpooling. The hardwood of Towson Catholic and Oak Hill Academy that led the way to the ultimate triumph of an NCAA National Championship for Syracuse. The tale of the lost and then found NBA draft suit, and more, await.
House of Melo highlights include:
Full-sized basketball court with Anthony’s words echoing over 23-foot tall columns, bleachers and court line details. Half of the court is a scaffolding display anchored with a makeshift crate hoop while the other half represents Anthony’s desire to shine a light on the next generation to dream big and loud-a 10-foot illuminated hoop with draped netting. The story of Anthony’s home court advantage unfolds through the lens of renowned Baltimorean photographer, Devin Allen, whose images help visitors get to know the spaces and people who fueled Anthony’s focus and rise to the 2003 NBA draft.
Early years walkway is a corridor of memories from Red Hook to Syracuse. Explore curated pictures and memorabilia from Carmelo’s youth that prepared him for the world stage.
Soundtrack of life station showcases 41 album covers from Anthony’s collection with narrative about meaningful songs in his journey, giving access to a custom playlist curated by Anthony.
Locker room houses Anthony’s greatest pro achievements, his influence on athlete expression and fashion. Jerseys, sneakers, game balls, Olympic team artifacts and personal stories behind buzzer beater moments.
Legacy boardroom gives a peek into Anthony’s philanthropic and community impact efforts intermixed with fan art. People can take a seat in Melo’s Boss Chair-whether they want to tap the mic to lead a podcast or offer their own game analysis like Anthony does with NBC. And, they can leave Anthony notes on what they’d like their legacy to be in his “Build the Future Book.”
Newsstand surveys Anthony’s influence as a multihyphenate force, equally challenging the status quo in sport, society and business realms. Visitors will have the chance to capture their own custom magazine cover moment.
Forget the typical museum voiceover. A raw, bespoke audio journey-crafted by SiriusXM’s Studio Resonate featuring the unvarnished voices of Anthony and D. Watkins (the award-winning writer and co-author of Anthony’s memoir) guides people deeper into the experience while challenging visitors to take control of their own story and greatness.
“The exhibit is a portal into Carmelo’s evolution, but the House of Melo and its greater programming is a mirror and front door to your own becoming-how each person can see themselves in his story and get the tools to actualize their unique potential” shares CEO of creative agency Valerie, Kai Deveraux Lawson, who partnered with experiential agency Verb and D. Watkins and Khalilah Beavers (Anthony’s stylist and creative director of nearly 20 years) to produce and design the experience.
Fostering Launchpad Connections
“Carmelo’s talked about what often differentiates success is access,” adds Watkins. “So we asked ourselves how do we provide authentic, relatable mentorship and practical, hands-on support from people at the top of their game across a host of industries.”
The answer manifested as a complementary series of workshops that start in November and run into fall of 2026. The workshops will cover everything from creative insight and financial literacy to wellness and storytelling-the skills that are critical for sustained success in any field.
Additional exhibit and workshop announcements will become available at TheHouseofMelo.com including digital tour elements for those unable to visit.
“The Enoch Pratt Free Library has always been a space where people come to learn, dream and build their future,” said Chad Helton, President & CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library. “House of Melo transforms that spirit into an immersive experience that celebrates Baltimore pride while giving our visitors a powerful reminder that greatness can start right here at home.”
Media Images + House Of Melo Experience Partners
Exhibit preview renderings and audio assets are available, here. Additional photography and videography from opening day will be added.

Project CRYSTAL aims to develop a safe, all-weather eVTOL propulsion system that can fly in conditions that most helicopters can’t
TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / October 24, 2025 / New Horizon Aircraft (NASDAQ:HOVR), doing business as Horizon Aircraft (“Horizon Aircraft” or the “Company”), an advanced aerospace engineering company and developer of one the world’s first hybrid eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, is thrilled to announce it has been awarded a prestigious INSAT program (The Initiative for Sustainable Aviation Technology) non-dilutive grant to help fund ‘CRYSTAL’, an all-weather eVTOL project in partnership with Flight Centre of Excellence (dba Certification Center Canada,”3C”) and the University of Toronto (“UofT”). CRYSTAL has an estimated total expenditure of $10.5 million, and Horizon Aircraft will receive $2.0 million in grant proceeds.
“By supporting innovative companies like Horizon Aircraft, we are helping to strengthen Canada’s global competitiveness while accelerating the transition toward a more sustainable, forward-looking aerospace industry-one that reflects the ingenuity and ambition of Canadian entrepreneurs,” declared Michel Dion, CEO of Strix – the non-profit organization powering the INSAT program. Strix is dedicated to promoting innovation and collaborative research in the Canadian aerospace industry and related sectors.
Project CRYSTAL (Canadian Research Yielding SusTainable All-weather Lift system) will focus on developing and testing an all-weather vertical propulsion system for eVTOL aircraft like Horizon Aircraft’s hybrid eVTOL, the Cavorite X7. The first phase of the project will focus on characterizing advanced ice detection technologies and protective technologies such as ice-phobic and electrothermal coating solutions developed by UofT. With support from 3C, the second phase will focus on testing and analyzing the viability of the technologies on the Cavorite X7.
Pictured (Left to Right): Phil Cole (VP Business Development, 3C), Brandon Robinson (Co-Founder & CEO, Horizon Aircraft), Prof. Ali Dolatabadi (Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, UofT), Michel Dion (CEO, Strix), Denis Godin (CTO & Deputy CEO, Strix) and Jason O’Neill (COO, Horizon Aircraft)
Vice President of Business Development at 3C, Phil Cole, stated, “Project CRYSTAL is profoundly important, not only to our partners in this project at Horizon Aircraft and UofT, but potentially to any traditional fixed wing or rotary wing air vehicle, advanced air mobility vehicle and drone that wishes to operate in climactic conditions that could lead to the accretion of ice.”
Most helicopters cannot operate in known icing conditions due to a risk of ice forming on rotor blades or in engine inlets, which can lead to severe vibrations, decreased stability, power failure, and loss of lift. Despite these prohibitive operating limitations, helicopters currently play an important role globally, flying critical missions such as medevac, disaster relief, and in the Defence sector. Developing an all-weather eVTOL that is safer, faster, more economical, and better for the environment, like the Cavorite X7, could provide a better solution for executing a wide range of important operations.
“Our team has calculated that if an all-weather Cavorite X7 replaces only 4% of the global helicopter fleet, a reduction of 2.6 billion pounds of CO2e could be realized annually,” stated Horizon Aircraft Co-Founder and CEO, Brandon Robinson. “In addition to being more sustainable, our aircraft is projected to cost up to 75% less per kilometer than a helicopter while moving more people or cargo at much higher cruise speeds. Being awarded this INSAT grant will allow us to accelerate innovation of eVTOL systems, which could revolutionize the way people and critical goods are moved around the planet.”
Phil Cole added, “We are delighted that our collaborative research project has been selected by INSAT, and look forward to this project leading to further collaboration between the partners and the development of a complete ice protection system that can be exploited across many platform types in future.”
Horizon Aircraft plans to certify the Cavorite X7 for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI), a rare certification across early concept eVTOLs and helicopters in the market.
