We provide an income tax preparation service for modest income individuals and families who cannot do it themselves and cannot afford to pay someone.
This service is for modest income individuals and families, seniors, students, immigrants, and disabled. We do not prepare tax returns for self-employed, bankrupt, deceased persons, or people with rental income.
We do not make appointments for income tax help. Our trained volunteers serve people on a first-come, first-served basis only on the dates below.
Doors open at 9:30 am and close at 11:00 am on the dates below.
Anyone arriving during these times will be served.

Funding to operate this program has been provided by the Canada Revenue Agency. However, volunteers are not employees of the Canada Revenue Agency. All tax returns are subject to
normal acceptance and review by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Dates are subject to change or be cancelled. We will update the dates here if anything changes.
What do I need to bring
Please bring your ID, income slips, and deduction receipts (like medical expenses, charitable donations, and rent or property tax receipts).
College and university students should log in to their student account and download, or print, and bring their T2202 tuition receipt. Also, if your student loan charges you interest, bring in your statement of student loan interest.
Those who are married or common-law, must have both spouses come. If your child needs a return, your child must come, too. The reason for this is because the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) does not allow us to prepare tax returns for people who do not come in person.
When does my child need to start filing a tax return
If the child had income where there were deductions withheld (example, the child is working and gets a T4 slip), the child should file a tax return. Sometimes an employer withholds the wrong deductions and the child might get a refund. We can help your child get a refund.
If the child had any other taxable income (not social assistance, OW, or ODSP), the child may need to file a tax return if their income from all sources is over the personal exemption amount for that year and the child owes tax money. We can help your child determine if they must file because they owe taxes.
If the child was born between January and May, your child should file a tax return for the year in which the child turns 17; otherwise your child should file a tax return for the year in which the child turns 18. This allows your child to begin to receive the GST Credit and the Ontario Sales Tax Credit portion of the Ontario Trillium Benefit when they turn 19 years old.
If your child will need to file a tax return, the child must come to do their own tax return. You can only file your child’s tax return when the child is under the age of 18.
