Tax-Filer Empowerment Canada (TFEC) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that all Canadians—especially those in vulnerable situations—have access to accurate tax-filing information and the support they need to successfully navigate the Canadian tax system.
Founded with a commitment to financial empowerment, TFEC works alongside community partners, volunteer tax clinics, and government agencies to reduce barriers for low-income individuals, seniors, newcomers, and people with disabilities.
We believe that filing your taxes should not be an obstacle—it should be a gateway to the benefits and credits you deserve.
