Through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), we will be hosting free tax clinics from February 26 to April 30, 2026, on Thursday evenings and Saturdays.

Volunteers will file tax returns for individuals and couples with a modest income and a simple tax situation.

In order to be eligible for the CVITP, individuals must have a modest income of $35,000.00 for an Individual, $45,000.00 for a couple, and a simple tax situation.

This may include:

• adults 65 years and older
• housing-insecure individuals
• Indigenous Peoples
• modest-income individuals
• newcomers
• persons with disabilities
• students

In general, a tax situation is simple if an individual has no income or if their income comes from these sources:

• employment
• pension
• benefits, such as the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, disability insurance, employment insurance, and social assistance
• Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs)
• scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, or grants
• interest (under $1,000)

The CVITP does not provide training or support for complex tax situations. Volunteers will not complete returns with the following:

• self-employment income or employment expenses
• business income and expenses
• rental income and expenses
• interest income over $1,000
• capital gains or losses
• bankruptcy in the tax year (or the year before, if that return has not yet been filed)
• deceased person
• foreign property (T1135)
• foreign income

Tax Clinic registration opens Friday, February 13, 2026.
