UMSU to host free student tax clinic

On-campus tax assistance offered from March 24 to April 11

Students can access the T2202 slip, tuition and enrolment certificate, in Aurora.

The University of Manitoba Students’ Union (UMSU) is hosting a free tax clinic in the GSA Lounge in UMSU University Centre to assist students with filing 2024 tax returns.

The “Super Clinic” is in partnership with the Canada Revenue Agency and Service Canada, and will start on Monday, March 24 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The clinic will continue from Tuesday, March 25 to Friday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. — only occurring on weekdays during this time span.

Students are reminded to bring necessary documents for tax-filing, including their social insurance number, photo ID, T2202 and other tax slips, rent amounts, receipts for donations, medical expenses and childcare expenses.

Both the T2202 and T4A slip will be available to students in Aurora, the university’s online student information system.

Individuals that are self-employed or run a small business are not eligible to have their taxes completed at the clinic.

Residents have up until April 30 to file and pay income taxes, or up to June 15 as the filing deadline if you or your spouse or common-law partner are self-employed.
