Richmond Public Library, in partnership with the Lord’s Harvest Fellowship, is again offering free income tax clinics at the Brighouse branch.
Trained volunteers will safely help community members with low income file their tax returns. This year’s clinics will follow a drop-off and pick-up format.
To qualify for this free service, single people must have a maximum income of $35,000 and a couple must have a maximum income of $45,000 plus $2,500 per child. Couples will need to sign up for one appointment time for each person.
Interested participants can register for a session by calling 604-231-6413 or visiting the “Ask Me” desk on the second floor of the Brighouse branch. Once registered, participants will need to stop by the Brighouse branch to pick up their registration forms. These forms will need to be filled out prior to the scheduled appointment. A piece of government issued ID and all relevant tax slips such as T4, T5 and Canada Child Benefit slips must also be brought to the appointment. All print documents will be returned to the participant at their pick-up time.
The clinics run on Saturdays from March 5 to April 30 (no sessions on April 16) with drop-off appointments offered between 10:30 a.m and 3:30 p.m. Drop-off appointments on March 5 will be between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
“We are grateful and blessed that for over ten years, our tax clinic has continued to positively impact members of our community who need it most, and that we are able to continue our partnership with the library to keep providing this vital service for our community.” said Pastor Abe Lagayan, representative of the Lord’s Harvest Fellowship.
