Description:
The Internal Revenue Service announced that the application period for Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) matching grants for calendar year 2022 is now open and will run from May 3, 2021 to June 18, 2021. The announcement is posted in the IRS Newsroom.
Clinics participating in the LITC Program ensure the fairness and integrity of the tax system for taxpayers who are low-income or speak English as a second Language (ESL) by:
Providing pro bono representation on their behalf in tax disputes with the IRS;
Educating them about their rights and responsibilities as taxpayers; and
Identifying and advocating for issues that impact these taxpayers.
Each clinic determines whether prospective clients meet income guidelines and other criteria before agreeing to represent them or provide consultation services. Taxpayers seeking LITC services can view the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic Income Eligibility Guidelines on the link in this record..
