Free Tax Preparation Service for Tax Year 2011
Since 2004, the coalition has been providing free federal and state tax preparation services, along with education and other critical services to our community.
Hudson Valley CA$H Coalition (Creating Assets, Savings and Hope) is a group of organizations dedicated to helping families and individuals in the Hudson Valley save money and improve their financial stability. The coalition provides free federal and state tax preparation for taxpayers living in New York counties of Dutchess, Orange and Ulster. To ensure the quality of the service, tax preparers receive many hours of training and are certified by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In 2011, over 3,000 tax returns were prepared and filed in Dutchess County alone.
