Free Tax Prep

You could qualify to have your 2024 taxes prepared and filed for free at select cPort branches beginning the first week of February 2025. This opportunity is brought to you through our partnership with United Way of Southern Maine and their CA$H Greater Portland initiative. It’s part of our commitment to making tax season easier and more accessible for everyone in our community.

cPort employees are volunteering their time through the CA$H Maine program to help Mainers get their 2024 taxes prepared for filing for free. Our three Portland and Scarborough location scan your tax documents, return them to you, and securely submit them for an IRS-certified tax preparer to prepare your taxes at another time.
