Volunteer Tax Preparer

Ongoing

The Suri Foundation is participating in the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) to host free tax clinics to help eligible people file their taxes. Filing a tax return helps people get the benefit and credit payments they are entitled to.

We are recruiting volunteers to help complete income tax returns at free tax clinics in Oakville/Burlington with possibility to work remotely. The responsibilities include completing taxes for people who meet the eligibility criteria (adults aged 65 years and older, individuals experiencing housing insecurity, Indigenous Peoples, individuals with a modest income, newcomers), a modest income and a simple tax situation. You will work closely with other team members, beneficiaries, and community partners to deliver professional services that align with The Suri Foundation's mission.
