Instant Tax Service is a tax preparation services company headquartered in Dayton, Ohio. There are currently nearly 1200 locations in the United States, most of them franchise locations. In addition to tax preparation, Instant Tax Service specializes in "instant refunds" or "refund anticipation loan" services.

The CEO of Instant Tax Service, Fesum "Fez" Ogbazion, came to the United States with his family in 1983 from Ethiopia. He originally started Instant Refund Tax Service Inc. in 1994 in Cincinnati, OH. He then sold the business to Jackson Hewitt in 1999. In 2000, Fez moved to Dayton, OH and used the proceeds from the sale to start TCA Financial, the parent company of Instant Tax Service. Instant Tax Service began franchising in 2004 and now has over 200 franchisees operating nearly 1200 locations across the country.
