Welcome to CA$H Greater Portland
CA$H Greater Portland helps you find ways to increase your income, reduce debt, save for the future, and achieve financial stability. CA$H (Creating Assets, Savings and Hope) is managed by United Way of Greater Portland. We're a partnership of community leaders and industry experts offering free tax preparation to qualified filers during tax season, helping employers bring financial education tools to their employees, and educating hard-working residents about how they can make the most of their money.

Put More Money Back Into Your Pocket!
If you made less than $50,000 in 2009, you might be leaving money on the table. Find out by having your federal and state income taxes prepared for free by IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers. You may qualify for up to $5,657 from the federal Earned Income Tax Credit.
Free tax preparation sites can also connect you to free programs and services in the community that help you make the most of your money. CA$H Greater Portland tax sites will be open January 23 – March 6, with additional AARP Tax-Aide locations open throughout the tax season.
How to participate:
1. Collect tax statements from ALL income received in 2009 (W-2, 1099, 1098, SSA and unemployment).
2. Gather Social Security cards for each person you will claim on your tax return.
3. Dial 2-1-1 (it’s free!) to find a tax site near you.
4. Call the tax site to schedule an appointment: other qualifications may apply (interpreters available upon request).
Help us spread the word, tell others about free tax preparation.
