CALGARY (660 NEWS) — The Mustard Seed has teamed up with H&R Block to provide free tax services to low-income Calgarians. The tax clinics will be held at the Mustard Seed’s downtown support centre at 102 11 Ave SE, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. until March 22. If you’re interested, you can set up an appointment with the Mustard Seed for the help or drop in. Over 40 people have benefited from the clinic since they started on Monday.

According to Diane Alkenbrack, a wellness advocate with the Mustard Seed, to be eligible for the tax help, you’d need to make $25,000 or less a year, or be receiving social assistance.

It will help them in “recovering any tax that they may have overpaid in previous years, but also taking advantage of tax credits like GST and the carbon tax,” she said. “So for clients that don’t have any source of income outside of that, it really does help.”

The tax experts will also help people who are behind on their taxes.

Participants are encouraged to bring a piece of government-issued identification in order to complete your taxes. However, if you are unable to bring identification but have your tax slips, the Mustard Seed can help you on Fridays. They have their own accountant come to assist with tax filing, however, appointment times are limited.
