<p class="MsoNormal">We know that libraries receive many inquiries during tax season. We are writing to make you aware of a great resource for your library patrons available at
<a href="http://www.CASHOregon.org">www.CASHOregon.org</a>. CASH Oregon is a nonprofit committed to providing FREE tax preparation services to low income people. We do this by supporting free volunteer tax sites and by providing access to free tax preparation
software via our website.<span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, many tax sites advertised as “free” are not trustworthy. They may have hidden charges. The sites listed on our website are completely free for both state and federal electronic filing as long as patrons meet the income
qualifications. All the companies listed on our site belong to the <a href="https://www.irs.gov/uac/About-the-Free-File-Alliance">
Free File Alliance</a> and are backed by Oregon’s Department of Revenue and the IRS.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">CASH Oregon has collaborated with Intuit – the TurboTax people – since 2012. Intuit is a Free File Alliance member and offers an easy to use online application based on years as a market leader in tax preparation software.
Our collective goal is to improve access to this great, free tool.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Online Tax filing personalizes a return by asking questions to understand each unique tax situation. This helps insure that low-income taxpayers receive the Tax Credits they deserve.

only four of five people eligible for the credits claim them. Online tax preparation tools help determine if a taxpayer is eligible.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
