KARINA GOULD’S COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX PROGRAM

I am pleased to offer my 8th annual Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) for residents of Burlington with modest income.

This year my office will be running our CVITP in the Burlington Centre on Tuesdays from 10-2 and Thursdays from 1- 4 beginning on March 2nd through to April 27th. Our CVITP office will be located on the first floor near the elevator (entrance by door 1).

To be eligible for this year’s free tax clinic you must have a modest income and a simple tax situation. A modest income is considered $35,000 in annual income for one person, and no more than $45,000 per couple.

Your tax situation is not simple if you:

· Are self-employed or have employment expenses

· Have business or rental income and expenses

· Have capital gains or losses

· Filed for bankruptcy

· Are completing a tax return for a deceased person

WHAT TO BRING

If you are eligible to take part in a CVITP, make sure to bring:

· Tax information slip

· Receipts (rent, property tax, donations, transportation, etc)

· Social Insurance number

· Photo Identification

The Burlington Central Library will be holding their in person CVITP from March 6th until May 1st on

Mondays from 9:30 – 3:30.

If you are unable to come in person, my office has teamed up with the volunteers at the Burlington Central Tax Clinic to host a virtual CVITP. Should you be eligible for this free service and wish to have your taxes completed over the phone please leave a voicemail at 289-427-6209 and a volunteer will contact you
