Income Tax Clinic

You must bring all tax information slips, receipts and documentation with you to your appointment. If any documentation is missing our clinicians will not be able to complete your tax return. ACT may not be able to reschedule a second appointment due to the high volume of Income Tax Clinic registrants.

If you are filing taxes as married/common-law/spousal couple, you AND your spouse MUST attend the appointment. Only those with proof of Power of Attorney for their spouse can file Income Tax on behalf of their spouse.

We require 24-hour notice of cancellation of booked appointments.

ACT reserves the right to refuse an additional booking to anyone who cancels or does not show for their originally scheduled Income Tax Clinic appointment.

We do not offer phone consultations.
