Tax & Money Management Resources

Access resources and supports to help you file your taxes and get the benefits your entitled to.

• NEW: The Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) SimpleFile is a fast, free, and secure way for eligible individuals to file their taxes.
  • File by phone, paper and online using information the CRA already has on record. You can often file in minutes with no calculations or forms.
  • SimpleFile is offered to eligible people with lower incomes and simple tax situations. Check your CRA account or mail in early March to see if you’re invited to use the service. If you didn’t receive an invite, you may still be eligible to file online if you have a lower income and simple tax situation.
  • SimpleFile services open on March 9, 2026.
  • Before using a tax clinic or other filing options, you’re encouraged to check your SimpleFile eligibility – it’s the easiest way to file and access tax credits and benefits that you may be eligible for.

• Learn about income tax and how to file your taxes.
• Get your taxes done for free at a tax clinic.
• Find free and low cost CRA certified tax software.
