CASH (Creating Assets, Savings and Hope) Oregon, in partnership with the City of Portland,  has  a year of growth and development.  CASH Oregon  helps CASH helpspeople receive the money that the IRS owes them.  Many qualify for refunds, even if they owe no taxes.  But people must file their tax returns to receive their refunds, either their Earned Income Tax Credits,  federal tax refunds or other credits due them.  In 2007, CASH Oregon and AARP Tax-Aide formalized their growing partnership to develop more capacity to serve our residents. 

The results for our community have been good:  CASH connected working families in Portland to over $440,000 in Earned Income Tax credits and over $1 million in federal tax refunds.  And, with the help of dedicated volunteer tax preparers, CASH saved working families over $330,000 in tax preparation fees.

There are still an estimated 15,000 Portland residents who qualify for tax credits, but who are not filing returns and collecting the money they are owed.  We will keep working with CASH, AARP, the IRS, and other partners who are determined to bring these substantial dollars home to our low-income families, and to our local economy.
