Partners of the CA$H Coalition (Creating Assets, Savings and Hope) of the Greater Capital Region will provide free income tax preparation in Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady and Schoharie counties.*

Enhanced Services Days will be held in each of these counties for individuals with disabilities. Staff and families are also welcome. With funding from the Real Economic Impact Tour, refreshments, a resource table and a CA$H Advisor will be available at each of the sites listed.
