Free tax preparation service for those unable to
complete their tax return and unable to pay for assistance.
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) sponsors the Community Volunteer Income Tax
Program, which provides free help to complete income tax returns. This
free service is available to people with low income and a simple tax
situation, who are not able to prepare their own tax returns. Returns
will not be prepared for deceased persons, bankrupt individuals, or for people
with capital gains/losses, business income or rental income.
There are volunteer tax clinics in many communities. Most of them
operate in March and April. To find a clinic near you, visit the CRA web
site Volunteer
Tax Preparation Clinics. For more information on this service, and a
phone # to call for more information, see Need
a hand with your taxes on the CRA web site.
