Do you have a modest income and/or a simple tax situation? Our community volunteer may be able to help with your tax return. Elmvale Acres will be offering free tax clinics in English that operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Add your name to the list at the front desk and you'll be called in to meet with our volunteer when it's your turn. ​
​

Our volunteers cannot process returns that deal with self-employment, investments, rental income, bankruptcy, business taxes or foreign income. They may refuse anyone that does not meet the eligibility criteria.

Avez-vous besoin d'aide pour préparer vos impôts?
