Note: The 2023 Tax Preparation Service has now ended. Information on how to access this service will be provided next year.

This service is available to Members with simple income tax returns (eg. no business income or other complex situations). It is free for Elders 55+, income assistance clients, and Members with a low income as set by the Canada Revenue Agency. If you are not eligible for the free service, you will be charged a discounted price.

Step 1: submit paperwork and sign forms
Members must submit their tax slips and any documentation from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Please note that you must sign the forms when submitting documents or else your return will not be processed. If uploading online, you will be prompted to complete all the required paperwork. You cannot drop off or submit documents for someone else. Nation staff cannot accept tax documents from Members.

Step 2: wait for processing
H&R Block will contact you if any further information is needed.

Step 3: sign the release form
You will be contacted when your return is ready. You will need to sign a release form which can be done in person or via email. If you are not eligible for the free service, you will need to pay the fee by cash or debit/credit card. Payment by card can also be processed over the phone. H&R Block requires payment before they can submit your tax return to the CRA.
