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.
