Free Tax Clinics in the Waterloo Region

FREE MONEY!! Available just by filing your income taxes. And we can help.

Every year, volunteers from across the Waterloo Region dedicate their time to help individuals and families with low income file their taxes. To ensure quality service to citizens seeking assistance with filing their taxes, we encourage you to:

1. Carefully review the eligibility criteria before phoning for an appointment at a tax clinic. The eligibility for tax clinics varies depending upon income and place of residency.
2. Carefully check the availability before phoning for an appointment at a tax clinic to reduce the administrative pressure experienced by local agencies.
3. Schedule only one appointment at one clinic! If you cannot attend your appointment, please phone in to cancel so the volunteer can help someone else with their taxes.
4. Volunteers cannot help with income tax returns for:
   - deceased individuals
   - bankruptcies
   - capital gains or losses
   - employment expenses
   - business or rental income and expenses

Following these guidelines will enable members of the community to access tax services and will reduce pressure on local community agencies who often run these services with only a handful of volunteers.
