This grant, administered by the IRS Office of the Taxpayer Advocate, supports the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) program. It offers matching grants of up to $100,000 annually to qualifying organizations. The LITC program funds initiatives that assist low-income individuals facing tax controversies with the IRS, and those providing outreach and education to taxpayers speaking English as a second language. Applicants can focus on either or both areas. While receiving partial IRS funding, the LITCs and their staff operate with full independence from the IRS. This funding helps organizations develop, expand, or maintain vital services for underserved taxpayers.
