This tax season, more residents can take advantage of free income tax-filing clinics and tax education workshops at seven library locations across Mississauga.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tax season has arrived and Mississauga Library is helping residents get the most out of their tax return with free income tax-filing clinics and education workshops<\/a>. Each year, the library helps hundreds of residents understand the tax-filing process and file their taxes on time so they can access the benefit payments, tax credits and Old Age Security pensions they\u2019re entitled to.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a newcomer, retiree, first-time filer or a seasoned tax-filer, you can attend free workshops, presented by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). These sessions offer guidance on filing your tax return and tips on how to avoid scams. If you are 18 or older, have a modest income and a simple tax return, you can book your appointment at a local library to have a trained volunteer help you through the tax-filing process.<\/p>\n

Remember, you have until Thursday, April 30 to file your personal income taxes. Book your tax clinic appointment at mississaugalibrary.ca\/taxes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
