Legal Aid gets IRS grant for Low Income Taxpayer Clinic

The Internal Revenue Service has awarded $50,000 in a matching grant to Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Inc.
The grant helps fund development of a qualified Low Income Taxpayer Clinic in underserved areas around the country for the last six months of the 2016 grant year.
The program is a federal grant program administered by the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate at the IRS. Although the clinics receive partial funding from the IRS, the clinics, their employees and their volunteers operate independently from the IRS.
The program funds organizations to represent low-income taxpayers in controversies with the IRS and to educate individuals who speak English as a second language about their rights and responsibilities as taxpayers. A Low Income Taxpayer Clinic must provide services for free or for no more than a nominal fee.
