WESTERN MAINE CA$H COALITION 
A bit about the program
The Western Maine CA$H (Creating Assets, Savings, and Hope) Coalition has just kicked off its 9th annual free tax preparation program. In addition to fee tax preparation, Coalition volunteers also connect people to community resources using the message “earn it, keep it, grow it.” Community tax preparers undergo a rigorous training to be able to help individuals claim all the benefits they deserve, including the Earned Income Tax Credit where one may qualify for up to $ $5,666, and the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. The Western Maine CA$H Coalition Tax Assistance Program assists working families earning less than $50,000 achieve their financial goals.
The Western Maine CA$H Coalition is part of a statewide network of eight community-based programs that offer free tax preparation and asset-building services to low and moderate income workers and their families. The 40+ non-profit and for-profit members and IRS certified volunteers collaborate to help hard-working Maine families move from financial uncertainty to financial security. Western Maine CA$H Coalition members include: The University of Maine, Farmington; Casey Family Services; United Way of the Tri-Valley Area; Bangor Savings Bank; The Annie E. Casey Foundation; Women, Work & Community; and the Internal Revenue Service.
