Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) represent low income taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service, assist taxpayers in audits,
appeals and collection disputes and can help taxpayers respond to IRS notices and to correct account problems.
If you are a low income taxpayer who cannot afford professional tax assistance or if you speak English as a second language (ESL)
and need help understanding your tax rights and responsibilities, you may qualify for help from a LITC that provides free or nominal
cost assistance.
Although LITCs receive partial funding from the IRS, LITCs, their employees, and their volunteers are completely independent of, and
are not associated with, the federal government. These clinics are operated by nonprofit organizations or academic institutions.
Clinics receiving federal funding for the 2006 calendar year are listed below. Each clinic independently decides if you meet the income
1
guidelines and other criteria before it agrees to represent you.
Low income taxpayers also may be able to receive assistance from an attorney referral system operated by state bar associations,
state or local societies of accountants and other nonprofit tax professional organizations.
This notice is not, and should not be understood to be, a recommendation by the IRS that you retain a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic or
other similar organization to represent you before the IRS.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
1
The department of Health and Human Services (HHS) publishes poverty guidelines each year. A controversy clinic receiving federal
funding must have at least 90% of the taxpayers served with incomes that do not exceed 250% of the poverty guidelines. For the 2006
calendar year, the income ceilings for low income representation are as follows:
Size of Family Unit
1
2
3
4
5
Income Ceiling (250% of Poverty Guidelines)
$24,500
$33,000
$41,500
$50,000
$58,500
For family units with more than 5 members, add $8,500 for each additional member.
Note: HHS publishes separate poverty guidelines for Alaska and Hawaii. See http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty.
