Ottawa ACORN does EVERYONE’S Taxes!
*UPDATE: Click here to book your appointment with the tax collective for 2016*
Posted January 28, 2015
Last year, Ottawa ACORN (Ottawa Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), helped over 1600 low-income people file returns.
Not only does the clinic help seniors, students, people within precarious work situations or people on disability, it also serves people who have not filed taxes before or who need to file for past years. The clinic is multi-lingual; with volunteers who speak a variety of languages from Mandarin to Tamil to Arabic! The clinic is taking appointments Mondays to Friday 3pm-7pm and Saturdays10am-2pm from February 17th to the end of May. We have some clinics each month after May.
Filers who do not qualify for the free tax clinic ACORN also has a Tax Collective. This Collective offers an affordable alternative to a corporate provider. By giving a cost recovery donation for the service, individuals can help support the free tax clinic and the work of ACORN more generally.
To make an appointment for either the clinic or collective individuals should call 613-746-5999. For more information about ACORN Canada, www.acorncanada.org.
Our tax site launch will be Tuesday Feb 3rd at 1pm at our office – 404 McArthur Ave.
