Did you know that if you are living with low income and have a simple tax situation, you can file your income tax for free, year-round?
Boost your income by filing your taxes
If you have low income—the maximum income level for singles is $30,000 and the maximum income level for families is $40,000— and a simple tax situation, you can file your taxes for free.
Here is a list of local tax clinics.
Your income taxes will be prepared and e-filed by a certified community volunteer. Volunteers are unable to process returns for people who are self-employed, have business or rental income and expenses, capital gains or losses, have filed for bankruptcy or are completing a tax return for a deceased person.
You can find information and resources about filing your taxes yourself from the Government of Canada, including links to certified tax software online.
