Community Volunteer Income Tax Program

We will continue to offer the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program process quite similar to last year.

STEP 1

• Come pick up a white envelope and taxpayer authorization form - they are available in the entryway at Stettler Information and Referral Centre so you don't even have to come into the office.
  
• Please wear a mask in case you are not the only one there at the same time. Also, please only one person in the entryway at the same time.

STEP 2

• Fill out the form printed on the white envelope and fill out/sign the marked (X) parts of the taxpayer authorization form.

STEP 3

• Place the taxpayer authorization form and your appropriate tax slips / information (T4 slips, detailed prescription printout from your pharmacy, receipts for medical expenses, charitable or political donations) in the white envelope. DO NOT bring your tax information to us until you have received all of the tax slips from employers, government agencies, or banks, etc.

STEP 4

• Drop the white envelope in the drop box outside of our main doors or with us in the office.
• We will call you when your tax return is prepared.

Call our office if you have any questions: 403-742-1155.

We look forward to helping you with your 2021 income tax return.

The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) has existed since 1971 and is a longstanding partnership between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and community organizations and their volunteers.

In order to be eligible for the CVITP, individuals must have a modest income and a simple tax situation.

Modest Income

The following table provides a guideline to determine if an individual is eligible for the CVITP. In general, a modest income means the total family income is less than the amount shown in the chart below, based on the size of the family.

Suggested income levels

Family size includes an individual, or a couple, and their dependants.
