The free tax preparation will run until the end of tax season, April 15, but the CASH Campaign of Maryland urged people not to wait.
“It is our goal to help eligible Marylanders get all the tax credits and refunds they deserve including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), now in its 50th year of helping hard-working taxpayers move out of poverty. Maryland’s own EITC and Child Tax Credit put funds back into the pockets of those who need it most, as well as the economy,” said Co-founders Robin McKinney and Sara Johnson in a Jan. 31 statement. “These are difficult times for many, which is why CASH is a strong advocate in Annapolis for programs and tax credits that help lift up low-to-moderate income Marylanders. As we always say, ‘Earn It, Keep It, Save It.’”
Last year, the CASH Campaign of Maryland served more than 7,500 households in Baltimore, racking up over $11.7 million in federal and state refunds for taxpayers. Individuals can call 410-234-8008 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. or go to www.bmorefreetaxes.org to schedule an appointment.
