The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) has existed since 1971 and is a longstanding partnership between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and community organizations and their volunteers. Participating organizations, like Camrose & District FCSS, host free tax clinics where volunteers complete income tax and benefit returns for eligible individuals to ensure they receive, or continue to receive, the benefits and credits they are entitled to. CVITP tax preparation services are offered free of charge to everyone who meets the eligibility criteria, and includes completing taxes for current and previous years. Camrose & District FCSS offers this service year round by appointment and during tax season we host walk-in clinics. Walk-in clinic information is announced in the local newspaper and on social media in late February or early March.
