This tax season is different, but free tax clinics are still a thing. Minister of National Revenue Diane Lebouthillier announced on Tuesday the rollout of virtual tax clinics on an interim basis, as Canadians continue to follow social-distancing guidelines because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Community organizations working with the Canada Revenue Agency and Quebec’s volunteer income tax assistance program will provide free tax support remotely, including via video call.
Free tax clinics are a place where trained volunteers at community organizations help low-income Canadians with a simple tax situation fill out and file their returns.
