Free tax preparation by IRS-certified volunteers
If your combined income is under $50,000 a year, you can receive free tax preparation services for both your federal and state income taxes while also learning if you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit and other tax credits.
Assistance in the Midcoast area for the 2010 Tax season is no longer available.
But, you can still find help by calling the IRS taxpayer assistance center in Portland at 207-879-4683 or in Lewiston at 207-782-6795.
Volunteers with the The Midcoast Maine Creating Assets, Savings, and Hope (CA$H) coalition are offering free assistance with the Maine Residents Property Tax and Rent Refund Application, known as the “Circuit Breaker” program through October of this year and then again during the 2011 tax season.
The Midcoast Maine Creating Assets, Savings, and Hope (CA$H) coalition has wrapped up another record-breaking tax season, helping 330 taxpayers file federal and state income taxes that resulted in more than $600,000 worth of refunds going back to the local economy.
