Volunteers Needed - Free Tax Clinics

 
Are you looking for a meaningful way to use your knowledge to give back to the community? 

If so, CPA Manitoba is once again partnering with the University of Manitoba to offer Free Tax Clinics to eligible students and we are looking for volunteers. These Tax Clinics aim to serve individuals with modest incomes or simple tax situations and are delivered as part of CRA's Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP).

Training
Training will be provided in advance and will cover the tax software and typical situations you will come across.

Support
On-site support will be provided by experienced tax preparers should you have any questions or concerns.

Time Commitment
The Tax Clinics will run from 4:00 to 8:00 pm on April 10, 11 and 12. Volunteers can sign up for one, two or all three nights depending on your availability. 

Register as a Volunteer
If you would like to register as a volunteer, please complete this form by January 29.

Questions?
If you have any questions, please contact contact Laura Wetton, CPA, CA.

*Note - The CPA Manitoba Bylaw 801(2)(a) permits members to provide volunteer tax preparation services through a CPA Manitoba program or the CVITP:

801(2) The following professional services constitute "other regulated services": (a) providing advice, counsel or interpretation with respect to the preparation of a tax return with the exception of providing voluntary tax preparation services through CPA Manitoba or the Canada Revenue Agency program.

Registration of a firm with CPA Manitoba and maintaining professional liability insurance are not required for members who only prepare volunteer tax returns for low-income individuals through these programs. For any other income tax preparation of returns to the public, registration of a firm with CPA Manitoba is required.
