NORWICH – As the filing deadline for tax season draws near, a volunteer group in Chenango and Madison counties is once again lending a helping hand in tax preparation for qualifying families and individuals.

Continuing a longstanding tradition, the Chenango and Madison County CASH (Creating Assets Savings and Hope) Coalition is coming together to offer free volunteer income tax assistance to residents living in the two counties. If your household income was less than $50,000 through employment in 2012, you may be eligible for tax preparation free of charge this tax season.
