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.
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.
In Ontario, there are 41 income and benefits programs that can only be accessed by filing income tax. These include benefits like:
- Canada Child Benefit (CCB)
- Working Income Tax Benefit
- Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS)
- HST/GST credits
- Trillium benefits
These benefits can increase annual income and are only available if taxes are filed every year.
Upcoming Tax Clinic: A free income tax clinic will be offered on Thursday, January 16, 2020, from 4 to 8 p.m. - Durham College, 2000 Simcoe Street North, CFCE Building - Room 123. Please register in advance by emailing christian.lopers@dcmail.ca or kyle.young3@dcmail.ca.
