You have the power to make a difference in someone's life this tax season.
While the holidays bring joy, the start of a new year often brings stress— especially for those who face the complexities of tax season alone. For some, it’s overwhelming, and for many, professional help is too expensive.
Your gift does more than help someone file a tax return.
It brings reassurance to older adults like Kim, who, despite poor eyesight, can feel confident that his return is accurate, and his questions are answered with care.
It lightens the load for hardworking mothers, like Mary Ann, who don’t have the time to navigate taxes on their own while juggling multiple jobs.
And it supports individuals like Rosa, a native Spanish speaker, by connecting her with culturally competent services and guiding her through the complexities of the tax system in a way that’s clear and accessible.
For thousands of low-income families in Maryland, tax refunds can make or break their financial stability.
The cost of professional help— averaging $406 per return— puts a huge burden on those who can least afford it and often causes families to lose the value of critical refunds and credits.
Your generosity changes that.
With your support, the CASH Campaign of Maryland is able to connect families with IRS-certified tax staff or volunteer and prepare one tax return for $88. Free tax preparation programs like this put much-needed funds from special federal and state tax credits and refunds back into the pockets of people who need it most.
When you give to the CASH Campaign of Maryland, you’re doing more than supporting a program— you're giving families the tools to secure a better future.
You make sure families don’t have to choose between paying for tax preparation and meeting basic needs. You empower them to keep more of their hard-earned money, avoid predatory fees, and access other life-changing financial services like benefits assistance and financial education.
