Low Income Taxpayer Clinic
The LITC grant program is a federal program administered by the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate at the IRS, led by National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E.
Olson.
The LITC program awards matching grants of up to $100,000 per year to qualifying organizations to develop, expand, or maintain a low income taxpayer clinic.
The LITC program funds organizations that serve low income individuals who have a tax controversy with the IRS and organizations that provide outreach and education to taxpayers who speak English as a second language (ESL).
Applicants may apply as either type of organization, or both.
Although LITCs receive partial funding from the IRS, LITCs, their employees, and their volunteers operate independently from the IRS.
