Get Your Taxes Prepared for Free This Season
CA$H Greater Portland Volunteers are Ready to Help
CA$H Greater Portland, an initiative of United Way of Southern Maine in partnership with the Greater Portland community, is excited to launch its free 2025 tax preparation service this January! To keep everyone safe and healthy, we are offering four options that will prioritize the well-being of our tax filers, IRS-certified volunteers, partners, and staff.
Households that earned $67,000 or less in 2024 have four free, flexible and easy ways to file their taxes through CA$H Greater Portland.
