To register as a community organization for the income tax assistance program, complete the the electronic CRA form Organization Registration.

Once you've registered, an income tax assistance program coordinator will contact you to provide all the necessary information and support you need.

Your personalized space

Once you've registered, you'll need to brush up on your tax knowledge to assist your volunteers and ensure that your tax preparation sessions run smoothly. That's why we've put everything you'll need, including information about your role, in a personalized space that you can access online anytime.

After you register, we'll send you a user code to access the space. It's that easy!

In your personalized space, you'll find:

• a learning guide that includes the following:
  • a comprehensive tax guide that addresses the tax situations that volunteers are likely to encounter,
  • a section on basic tax concepts,
  • instructions on how to use UFile-CVITP software for specific tax situations,
  • a section with case studies,
  • a list of the tax changes for the current filing season;
• a promotional kit to help you recruit volunteers for the program;
• documents for income tax preparation sessions;
• working documents and forms;
• a calendar of tax webinars for organizations and volunteers.

Note that your volunteers will also have access to a personalized space with everything they need.
