Our tax clinic is open Mondays from 1 pm to 3:30 pm, except holidays for the rest of the year.

About Bissell Tax Clinics

Filing your taxes every year is important to ensure you are receiving all the government benefits and subsidies you are eligible for. Even if you are not employed or do not have income, you still need to file your taxes. Bissell can help with free tax filing.

Our service is free and confidential.
