Please note: all MFS CASH Oregon offices will be closed on Friday, June 19th in observance of Juneteenth. We look forward to seeing you when we reopen next week!

We're branching out from income tax to beer tax because sometimes tax education is best served cold.

Check out this interactive map showing beer tax rates across the U.S. and see how Oregon compares:

We're still smiling from our annual Volunteer Celebration held at the World Forestry Center this year. 🌲

It was a great opportunity to come together, share stories, and celebrate the incredible volunteers who make our work possible. Thank you to everyone who attended! It was truly a memorable evening.

We’re excited to attend the 4th Annual Familia Fest with MFS's Ready, Set, Go! program this Friday, June 5!

Stop by Early Boyles Elementary School from 4 pm-7 pm for music, food, entertainment, community resources, and more. We hope to see you there!

Recently married? Congratulations!

After each tax season, the IRS shares a list called the “Dirty Dozen" that highlights the most common tax scams that can put your money and personal information at risk.

These scams can happen through phone calls, texts, emails, social media, or even fake tax preparers.

Being informed is one of the best ways to protect yourself from scams, and you can learn more and read the full list here: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/dirty-dozen-tax-scams-for-2026-irs-reminds-taxpayers-to-watch-out-for-dangerous-threats
