Tax returns have to be completed, but for many residents that’s easier said than done. The SOS Income Tax program helps low-income residents file basic tax returns at no cost. This alleviates the stress that comes with unfinished paperwork, while also unlocking government benefits. SOS works in conjunction with the Revenue Canada Community Volunteer Income Tax Program to deliver the program with the help of trained SOS volunteers. The income threshold is $35,000 for one person and $45,000 for a couple. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this service will be offered over the phone. For more information, please call SOS at 250-248-2093.
