A volunteer from the tax program can file your return! Please note: Volunteers do not provide tax advice or accounting services.
Determine if you are eligible
To be eligible to use the services of a free tax clinic, you must have a modest income and a simple tax situation.
In general, a modest income means the total family income is less than or equal to the amounts below, based on the size of the family. Family includes an individual, or a couple, and their dependants.
Suggested Income Thresholds Based on Family Size:
1 person: $40,000
2 people: $55,000
3 people or more: $65,000
Visit the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program website for more information on eligibility criteria and guidelines.
Volunteers will need to see all the relevant documents and receipts if you want them to prepare your taxes. These could include, but are not limited to, the following:
valid government-issued photo identification
social insurance number (SIN) or a valid temporary SIN
Tax documents may be dropped off at one of our library branches during business hours. Your tax return will be filed by a volunteer, and you will pick it up at a later time. You will have to prove your identity when you pick up your tax return and documents.
