Tax Preparation Software

Tax Preparation Software

The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) and the Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program (ITAVP) (in the province of Quebec) are community-based outreach programs, designed to help individuals with low-income and with a simple tax situation complete their income tax and benefit return. Under these programs, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offers training sessions to teach volunteers how to complete basic income tax and benefit returns.

The CRA has a requirement for a commercial off the shelf software application that performs all necessary tasks associated with the completion of Individual Federal Income Tax and Benefit Returns. This will include all provincial and territorial tax calculation and credits including the Quebec TP1, in English and French.

The main goal of this software is to provide volunteers who participate in the CVITP and ITAVP an automated method of preparing and filing Canadian federal and provincial including Quebec Income Tax Returns for eligible individuals.

The CRA intends to award one contract as a result of this RFP.
