Filing your taxes has its benefits

File your income taxes to access automatic benefit payments available to you to help with the cost of living. Even if you have little or no income to report, file a tax return every year to get the money you are entitled to.

Many programs are available to help with everyday costs. While some are automatic when you file your taxes, other programs you need to apply for.
