Determine if you have a modest income

The following table provides a guideline to determine what is considered a modest income.
In general, a modest income means the total family income is less than or equal to the amount shown in the chart below, based on the size of the family.
Family size includes an individual, or a couple, and their dependants.
Community organizations can adjust the total family income thresholds for their clients based on the local economic environment, the population they serve, and their resources.

Suggested income thresholds

Family size
Total family income

1 person
$40,000

2 people
$55,000

3 people
$60,000

4 people
$65,000

5 people
$70,000

More than 5 people

Determine if you have a simple tax situation
In general, a tax situation is simple if an individual has no income or if their income comes from these sources:

employment
pension
benefits, such as the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, disability insurance, employment insurance, and social assistance
registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs)
scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, or grants
interest (under $1,200)

Volunteers are not expected to answer complex tax questions. If a taxpayer needs information that is beyond the volunteer’s expertise, they can find more information on the website or contact the Canada Revenue Agency.
Our volunteers will only process current-year tax returns; however, they will only complete tax returns they feel comfortable preparing based on the information the taxpayer gives them.

Complex tax situations are not supported
Volunteers will not complete a deceased taxpayer’s return, or returns that have any of the following:

self-employment income or employment expenses Exception1
business income and expenses
rental income and expenses
interest income over $1,200
capital gains or losses
bankruptcy in the tax year (or the year before, if that return has not yet been filed)
foreign property (Form T1135)
foreign income Exception2Exceptions

Exception 1
Individuals who have a T4A slip, Statement of Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and Other Income, that shows self-employed or business in box 048 may be eligible to have their tax return completed through the CVITP if all of the following conditions are met:

the total income in box 048 is under $1,000
no expenses are claimed
the individual is not registered as a GST/HST registrant and is not required to be one

Return to exception1referrer

Exception 2
Individuals who receive U.S. Social Security benefits are eligible to have their tax return completed through the CVITP. Any other type of foreign income (including a foreign pension) would not be considered a simple tax situation.
Return to exception2referrer
Get The Documents you need
Volunteers will need to see all the relevant documents and receipts if you want them to prepare your taxes. These could include, but are not limited to, the following:

valid government-issued photo identification
social insurance number (SIN) or a valid temporary SIN
tax information slips

Locating your slips
Tax information slips are prepared by your employer, payer, or administrator. You should have received most of your slips and receipts by the end of February. If you have not received them or have lost or misplaced a slip for the current year, start by checking your CRA account or contacting your employer or issuer for a copy. If you are unable to resolve this issue online, you can call the CRA general enquiries line at 1-800-959-8281.
Volunteers may be able to retrieve some of your tax slips through the CRA’s online Auto-fill my return feature, which allows volunteers to access tax slips that the CRA has available at the time of the request. Please note that not all volunteers have access to this online feature.
If you need a slip for an earlier year, you may be able to get a copy through your CRA Account or by visiting Skip the line to find answers to most of your tax-related questions.
You can also visit Service Canada to get electronic versions of your current and previous tax slips for old age security (OAS), employment insurance (EI), and the Canada pension plan (CPP).
