- Description
- For individuals unable to complete their income tax and benefit return themselves and are unable to pay for assistance, the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) may be able to assist. Volunteers can help complete the income tax and benefit return if income is low and tax situation is simple.
Can prepare current and previous years' returns.
- Eligibility
- These suggested maximum income levels should serve as a guideline only

Interest income limited to under $1,000
