The Canada Revenue Agency is hosting a free drop-in tax clinic at the Red Deer Public Library Downtown Branch in Red Deer, Alberta, today, March 26, 2026. This service is designed to help residents with low to modest incomes and simple tax situations get their paperwork ready before the upcoming filing deadline.
The support clinic runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the library located at 4818 49 Street. Staff will be available to help residents find tax slips, print official tax records known as notices of assessment, update their contact information, and answer general questions about their government accounts.
Residents who want to use the service must bring their Social Insurance Number and a valid photo ID so staff can access their account information. This assistance arrives just over a month before the April 30, 2026, deadline for most Canadians to file their 2025 income tax returns.
This event is part of a national effort called the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program. Last year, this program helped over 850,000 people across Canada file their taxes and access the government benefits they were entitled to receive.
The library serves as a community hub that connects residents with many local services beyond books, including financial and health resources. By hosting the tax agency downtown, the library makes it easier for people to get official help in a central, convenient location.
