646 households had their federal and state income taxes prepared for free this tax season thanks to the efforts of 147 volunteers and members of the Greater Portland CA$H Coalition. Their efforts helped to bring the community:

  • $106,590+ in income tax filing fee savings
  • $356,683 in Earned Income Tax Credits ($30 million goes unclaimed in Maine every year!)
