Who is Qualified for the LITC Grant?
To qualify for the LITC Grant you must be an Accredited Law School, Business School, and/or 501(c) non profit organization that provides pro bono representation to low income taxpayers in federal tax disputes or education and outreach to taxpayers for whom English is a second language.
How do I apply for an LITC Grant?
Publication 3319, outlines the guidelines and requirements of a qualifying participant in the IRS LITC Program and provides instructions on how to apply for a LITC grant award. You may transmit your application to our office electronically or by email. Instructions for submitting applications are included in Publication 3319. The costs of preparing and submitting a grant application are the sole responsibility of the applicant. The 2007 application package for the Low Income Taxpayer clinics grant program will be available on May 08, 2006.
Cost Principles: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) amended the cost principles in OMB Circulars A-21, A-87 and A-122. These changes are intended to further the objectives of Public Law 106-107, the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act. The ACT simplifies the cost principles, making the description of similar cost items consistent across circulars.
Qualifying organizations can obtain LITC CFDA#21.008 Funding Opportunity Information via the Health and Human Services (HHS) website at www.grants.gov. However, in order to "submit an electronic" Low Income Taxpayer Clinic Grant Application please go to " IRS Electronic-Grants".
The IRS must receive all LITC grants applications, no later than July 07, 2006, 4:00 p.m. EDT.
The Internal Revenue Service has awarded approximately $7.5 million in matching-fund grants to 145 tax-exempt organizations and academic institutions under the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic program.
