City Of Beaverton: Free Tax Assistance Returns January 29

Press release from the City of Beaverton:

January 28, 2022

BEAVERTON, Ore. Free tax assistance returns this month for qualifying community members with household income under $57,500. Due to the pandemic, CASH Oregon is only providing virtual services currently.

Beaverton residents needing the service will have to make an online appointment on the CASH Oregon website and scan/upload their documents. The appointment system will go live on their first day of services: January 29, 2022.

Once signed up, community members will receive a call from a tax preparer. To sign up for an appointment, learn about required documents and check for any program changes, visit www.cashoregon.org.

This free service is provided in partnership with the City of Beaverton, CASH Oregon and Metropolitan Family Services and is offered in multiple languages.

Last year, volunteer tax preparers were able to help Beaverton residents claim an average refund that was $500 more than during previous years due in part to credits only available by filing their 2020 tax return.

Tax credits such as the Recovery Rebate, Earned Income Tax or Childcare credit are the most effective tool at lifting Americans out of poverty in the United States.
