Tax & Economic Justice Program

Our tax Program is an IRS-designated LOW-INCOME Taxpayer Clinic.

If you are in the middle of a tax controversy with the IRS, we can help. As a recognized Low Income Taxpayer Clinic with the IRS, we provide legal representation for clients throughout the state of Indiana whose income is below 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.  We also offer educational outreach programs to inform low-income and immigrant taxpayers of their tax rights and responsibilities.

Do you need help with the IRS?

Although we receive funding from the IRS, the Clinic and its employees and volunteers are not affiliated with the IRS.  A taxpayer’s decision to seek assistance from the Clinic will not affect the taxpayer’s rights before the IRS.
