In 2022, Ms. Molina acquired MidasIQ, a leading tax educational company directly educating taxpayers on how they can help to reduce their taxes, completing her network of tax reduction entities. Educating the public on how to pay less in tax and save their hard-earned money has always been a deeply held conviction for Molina.
