Filing income tax returns can be tricky — that’s why people often hire professionals to do the work for them.
But not everyone has the means to hire a someone else to do their taxes.
That’s why Revenu Québec is seeking volunteers to help low-income earners file their tax returns.
In a news release on its website, the agency says the goal is to make sure low-income earners get the benefits and tax credits to which they are entitled.
