Free Tax Clinic: YEar-Round Clinic

TAX PROGRAM (CVITP)

Please be aware that the following information does not refer or apply to our 2023 Tax Season Clinics. Information regarding that will be posted shortly.



About our FREE tax clinics:


These clinics are hosted by community organizations across Canada through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program where eligible people can get their tax returns done for free. 


We encourage you to file online this year. If you choose to stay at home to practice social distancing and limit your potential exposure to COVID-19, you should consider filing your tax return online. If you have a modest income and a simple tax situation, The Strathcona Place Society, we may be able to complete and file your taxes virtually by video conference, curbside parking tax clinic, or through a document drop-off arrangement.


We are now transitioning to our Year-Round Tax Clinic.


Step 1: Find out if you are eligible: 

You may be eligible for help at a free tax clinic if you have both a modest income as well as a simple tax situation.


A) Modest income: Your total family income should be less than the amount shown in the chart. Check with your community organization as some organizations have different requirements.


Chart showing suggested income level 

Family size                                   |Total family income                                        

One person                                  | Around $35,000 

One person with one dependent  | Around $37,500 (add $2,500 for each additional dependent)

Couple                                          | Around $45,000 (add $2,500 for each                    .                                                      dependent)


B) Simple tax situation: 

In general, your tax situation is simple if you have no income or if your income comes from any of these sources:

  • Employment (T4), Employment Insurance (T4E) 
  • Pension Income (OAS, CPP, T4A, T4RSP, T4RIF)
  • Benefits such as CPP- disability, Social assistance payment (T5007) 
  • Scholarships, fellowships, bursaries or grants (T4A) 
  • Investment (T5 & T3) – less than $1,000.00


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 without slips 
  • file for bankruptcy 
  • are completing a final tax return for a deceased person 
  • have T5013 (Partnership), T5018 (Contract) & GST


Step 2: Schedule an appointment at our Daily Clinic:

Where: Strathcona Place Society (Strathcona Place Senior Centre) 

Dates open: June 1 to Dec 9, 2022 

Days open: Monday to Friday 

Times open: 9:00am to 3:00pm

Please phone us at (780)-433-5807

Notice: We currently do not accept any walk-ins.


How to change your income tax return after you file it

Request changes online 

You can change your return online by using the improved and simplified Change my return option found in My Account, or by using  ReFILE . These services are the fastest, easiest and most secure way to change a return. If you cannot request changes online because your return is still being processed, you must wait until it has been assessed.  


Send a paper adjustment request form 

If you prefer, you can complete Form T1-ADJ, T1 Adjustment Request. Once completed, you can mail it to your tax centre. Please make sure to include all your supporting documents for the change(s) you want to make.  


How long will it take for the changes to be made? 

  • If you submitted your request online, your change request will take about two weeks to be processed.
  •  If you submitted your request by mail, your change request will take longer. Due to COVID-19, the CRA may take 10 to 12 weeks to process paper adjustments. 


We consider some adjustment requests to be complex and they may take longer to process. Complex requests include situations where additional information or review is required. 


For more information on processing times, go to CRA processing times. 


You can request an adjustment for any of the 10 previous calendar years online or by mail. For example, a request made in 2022 must relate to 2012 or a later tax year. Adjustment requests for different years should be on different forms. But, they can be mailed in together or submitted to us at the same time.


After the CRA has reviewed your request 

After we have reviewed your request to change your income tax return, you will receive: 

  • a notice of reassessment, indicating the changes made to your return, or 
  • a letter explaining why we did or did not make the changes you requested. 


Your entitlement to benefits and credits such as the Canada child benefit and the GST/HST credit may be revised at a later date. In this case, a notice of redetermination will be sent to you under separate cover.
