It’s tax season once more and a group of volunteers are offering to help you do yours for free once again through ConnectWell Community Health.
Volunteer Martina Flanagan says they help a large portion of Lanark County and bordering residents each year fill out their taxes over the phone and through virtual clinics.
Flanagan says on top of a vetting process which includes a police background check, they also receive training through the CRA.
You’re eligible for the free service if your individual income is less than $35,000 a year or $45,000 with a partner. Flanagan says there’s several tax benefits you could apply for but they all have deadlines so the sooner you file, the better your return could be.
To learn more or inquire about limited in-person meetings, call 613-257-7121 or 1-800-667-2716 ext 3200.
