Popular name

Program objective

This assistance opportunity provides a matching grant of up to $200,000 per grant year to qualified organizations. Applicants are encouraged to apply for a grant to provide both representation to low-income taxpayers in controversies with the Internal Revenue Services and to provide education to low-income and ESL individuals about their taxpayer rights and responsibilities. However, a qualified organization may also receive a grant for operating an LITC program to inform taxpayers for whom English is a Second Language about their taxpayer rights and responsibilities without also providing controversy representation.
