Drop-Off Form
(Updated March 1, 2023). Drop-in and drop-off taxes will be allowed this year, but appointments will have priority. Please call 780-723-0872 to make an appointment, inquire about drop-offs, or for more information. We look forward to helping our community again this year! Thank you to our amazing CVITP volunteers for making this program possible!
Income thresholds are as follows:
- 1 person income is $35,000 or less,
- 2 person income is $45,000 or less,
- 3 person income is $47,500 or less
- Each additional person adds $2,500 thereafter.
If you have any questions about the income threshold please call Marty-Jo at 780-723-0872. We accept simple tax returns only, which means no business income, capital gains, depreciation or recent deaths. This program serves mainly low income, seniors, students, persons with disabilities. A current tax return is required for federal benefits to continue without disruption, such as government pensions and child tax benefits, so please look to having your taxes done as soon as you have received all of your T-forms.
