This past tax season more than 100 community tax clinics, serving tens of thousands of families across Canada, used SmartSAVER’s Tax Time Tools. Using these ‘Important Notice’ Post-It pads, volunteers let parents with Canada Learning Bond (CLB) eligible children know that they could open an RESP and apply for the CLB without paying any fees or making any contributions, or go to SmartSAVER.org to get more information.
Organizations offering tax help year-round can still get Tax Time Post-It pad refills from SmartSAVER to help the families they work with to catch up on completing their outstanding tax returns. This tool also offers organizations a great way to quickly share the CLB message without creating additional work for their volunteers and staff.
SmartSAVER can send a limited number of Tax Time Post-It pad refills to interested community service organizations operating year-round tax clinics. As the Canada Learning Bond is retroactive, it is important to continuously remind families about their access to the years of outstanding grants for their children’s post secondary education.
Email me and I’ll send you some Post-it pads right away!
