(NC) Tax season doesn’t have to be confusing. Keep it simple by getting free tax help in your community. Getting your taxes done can actually improve your financial situation. You could be eligible for benefits like the Canada child benefit or the GST/HST credit.
If you earn less than $35,000 and have a simple tax situation (for example, if you don’t have a business or rental income), you could get free tax help.
The Canada Revenue Agency works with community organizations and volunteers to provide free clinics through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program and, in Quebec, the Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program.
You may be able to find a clinic at your local library, shelter, senior’s centre, band office or place of worship.
Using these services can help ensure your taxes are filed on time and correctly and you get the benefit and credit payments you’re entitled to without interruption. By taking advantage of local resources, you can navigate tax season with greater ease and confidence.
