Tax & economic
Justice Program
Our tax Program is an IRS-designated LOW-INCOME Taxpayer Clinic.
The Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic offers legal representation to Indiana residents earning up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines to resolve federal tax disputes. While we don't provide tax preparation services, we offer educational outreach to inform low-income taxpayers of their rights and responsibilities
Representation from an LITC won’t result in the IRS giving preferential treatment in handling the dispute or problem, and won’t affect the taxpayer's rights before the IRS.
Although we receive funding from the IRS, the Clinic and its staff and volunteers aren’t affiliated with the IRS. A taxpayer’s decision to seek assistance from the Clinic will not affect the taxpayer’s rights before the IRS.
We assist with a range of tax-related issues.
Tax court litigation
IRS exams & audits
IRS appeals
Identity theft/tax preparer fraud
Liens and levies
Cancellation of debt income
Underreported/disputed income
Collection alternatives
Installment agreement
