Opportunity Summary:
The Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant administered by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under CFDA 21.008. It was created as part of the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 and is intended to expand access to tax dispute representation and tax education for people who cannot otherwise afford professional help. The program funds organizations that operate Low Income Taxpayer Clinics, which typically provide services either free of charge or for a small, nominal fee.
At its core, the grant supports clinics that represent low income taxpayers in their dealings with the IRS. This representation can cover multiple stages of the tax controversy process, including audits, administrative appeals, and collection matters. It can also extend to federal tax litigation when a case needs to be taken to court. In addition to direct representation, clinics are expected to provide outreach and education, especially for taxpayers who speak English as a second language. These education efforts often take the form of workshops or informational sessions that help community members understand basic tax rights and responsibilities and avoid common tax problems.
Eligibility is aimed at organizations with the capacity to deliver legal or tax controversy services and structured community education. The opportunity specifically notes that the types of organizations generally funded include nonprofit organizations, law schools (and in some places the listing also references business schools), legal aid organizations, and universities. In practical terms, this points to applicants that can credibly staff a clinic with qualified professionals or supervised students, maintain client confidentiality and case management standards, and demonstrate a consistent ability to serve low income communities.
The funding details show an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $0, meaning awards can vary widely depending on the applicant and program scope. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources toward operating the clinic, whether through cash match, third-party contributions, or allowable in-kind support (the exact terms are typically spelled out in the full program guidance). Key dates listed for this specific announcement include a posted and creation date of May 21, 2009, with an application closing date of July 7, 2009, and an archive date of August 6, 2009.
For applicants looking for the authoritative program rules and application instructions, the announcement points to Publication 3319 as the additional information link. The listed point of contact for assistance is William Beard, Senior Program Analyst at the IRS, reachable by phone at 202-622-8972, particularly for anyone who cannot access the full announcement electronically.
