Preparing Your Income Tax

Need A Hand To Prepare Your Tax Return?

This information comes from the Federal tax web site.

If you are unable to prepare your income tax and benefit return yourself, the CVITP may be able to help you.  The CVITP assists eligible taxpayers who have low income, and simple non-complex tax situations.

Eligibility Criteria

These maximum income levels should serve as a guideline only.

Taxpayer status                                  Family Income
Single                                                    up to $25,000
Couple                                                  up to $35,000
One Adult with child                           up to $30,000

Volunteers for the CVITP DO NOT prepare tax returns for complex situations. Eligible taxpayers normally served by the CVITP include:
  • Aboriginal people
  • Low-income individuals and social assistance recipients
  • Newcomers to Canada
  • Seniors
  • Students
