Through the IRS’s LITC (Low Income Taxpayer Clinic) program, households earning less than the IRS stated income limit (generally $50,000) have access to follow-up tax and legal services at no or little cost.
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 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 taxpayer rights and responsibilities, you may qualify for free help.
This program allows the low-income tax filers to rectify any past reporting issues and settle any outstanding taxes and/or fines with the IRS. Once tax filers have rectified past issues, they are able to move forward on more stable financial footing.
