In today’s economy, more low-wage workers and their
families are finding themselves in financial quicksand. Through our tax
and financial services and advocacy, the Center for Economic Progress
gives working families a financial boost. Since 1990, we have helped
more than 175,000 workers and their families move from poverty to progress.
Tax Time: A Time for Progress
Using tax time as a window of opportunity, we teach families how to
use the tax refund as a way to get ahead. This tax season, we will
provide
free tax help to more than 30,000 low-wage families throughout Illinois.

Foreclosure Help
With foreclosures on the rise, borrowers need to understand the tax implications
that go along with losing their home. The Center is offering special
tax counseling for anyone who has lost their home in 2007. Learn
