The Oshawa Public Libraries is hosting free in-person tax clinics throughout March and April 2026 to help local residents in Oshawa, Ontario, file their yearly returns. These clinics are designed to support people with modest incomes and simple tax situations who need assistance navigating the filing process.
The program is run in partnership with the Canada Revenue Agency and the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program. Trained volunteers are available to help eligible individuals complete their tax forms correctly to ensure they receive any benefits they are owed.
These sessions are being held exclusively in person at two specific locations. Residents can find help at both the Jess Hann and McLaughlin library branches during the scheduled clinic dates.
To qualify for the free service, residents must meet specific income requirements. The clinics are strictly for those with simple tax situations, which generally means they do not have complex financial filings like business income or rental properties to report.
Because these sessions are popular and depend on volunteer availability, the library requires residents to book an appointment in advance. Residents are encouraged to check for available spots and ensure they have all their tax documents ready before arriving for their meeting.
