Free tax help available at Half Century Centre

LEAMINGTON – Filing your income tax and benefit return before the deadline is important to make sure your benefit and credit payments aren’t interrupted.

Aren’t sure where to start? You could be eligible for free help.

If you have a modest income and a simple tax situation, a volunteer from the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program may be able to complete and file your income tax and benefit return for you for free.

Free tax clinics are run by organizations and volunteers who are ready to help.

Locally, there is a free tax clinic at Leamington & District Half Century Centre, 160 Talbot St. E. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., from March 10 to April 22 (closed during lunch).

Returns prepared at the Leamington site are by document drop-off for current as well as prior years. The location is wheelchair accessible. Service is in English. The client must provide all tax slips and receipts.

There are six volunteers who work at the tax clinic.

To enquire about the free tax clinic, contact Christine Lehn at 519-326-2521 or email halfcenturycentre@cogeco.net.
