No one should lose their home or give up their medication for not being able to get their taxes done on time. Add your name if you agree:
From falling ill, to grieving the loss of a loved or experiencing early-stage, often undiagnosed memory loss or dementia – we’ve heard from seniors that have been unable to complete their taxes and had their GIS suspended for a number of reasons.
