Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program Statistics
Every year as part of the income tax assistance program, community organizations hold free federal and Québec income tax return preparation sessions, where volunteers complete tax returns for thousands of eligible individuals, so they can receive the benefits and tax credits they are entitled to.

- Note 2 The federal statistics come from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and were not verified by Revenu Québec. They may be updated if the CRA receives other information.
- Note 2 180,400 people used the income tax assistance program to complete at least one Québec income tax return, and 166,090 used it to complete at least one federal return. Since Revenu Québec did not verify the numbers provided by the CRA, the number of people who completed both a Québec and federal return cannot be determined.
