VOLUNTEER TAX PREPARATION CLINICS

Find out if you are eligible to attend a clinic and get help with your tax return.

If you are unable to complete your income tax and benefit return by yourself and are unable to pay for assistance, our Community Volunteer Income Tax Program may be for you.

CRA offers training to volunteers who can help you complete your income tax and benefit return if your income is low and your tax situation is simple.

Volunteers do not complete income tax and benefit returns for deceased persons, bankrupt individuals, or individuals who have capital gains or losses, employment expenses, or business or rental income and expenses.

Volunteer tax preparation clinics are offered between February and April of each year in various locations across Canada. For more information about this free service, call us at 1-800-959-8281.
