SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 7526 of the Internal Revenue
Code authorizes the IRS, subject to the
availability of appropriated funds, to
award organizations matching grants of
up to $100,000 per year for the
development, expansion, or
continuation of qualified low income
taxpayer clinics. Section 7526
authorizes the IRS to provide grants to
qualified organizations that represent
low income taxpayers in controversies
with the IRS or inform individuals for
whom English is a second language of
their taxpayer rights and
responsibilities. The IRS may award
grants to qualifying organizations to
fund one-year, two-year or three-year
project periods. Grant funds may be
awarded for start-up expenditures
incurred by new clinics during the grant
cycle.
The 2010 Grant Application Package
and Guidelines, Publication 3319 (Rev.
5–2009), outlines requirements for the
operation of a qualifying LITC program
and provides instructions on how to
apply for a grant.
The costs of preparing and submitting
an application are the responsibility of
each applicant. Each application will be
given due consideration and the LITC
Program Office will notify each

applicant, no later than November 27,
2009.
Selection Consideration
Applications that pass the eligibility
screening process will be numerically
ranked based on the information
contained in their proposed program
plan. Please note that the IRS Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax
Counseling for the Elderly (TCE)
Programs are independently funded and
separate from the LITC Program.
Organizations currently participating in
the VITA or TCE Programs may be
eligible to apply for a LITC grant if they
meet the criteria and qualifications
outlined in the 2010 Grant Application
Package and Guidelines, Publication
3319 (Rev. 5–2009). Organizations that
seek to operate VITA and LITC
Programs, or TCE and LITC Programs,
must maintain separate and distinct
programs even if co-located to ensure
proper cost allocation for LITC grant
funds and adherence to the rules and
regulations of the VITA, TCE and LITC
Programs, as appropriate.
Comments
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments on the IRS’s
administration of the grant program on
an ongoing basis. Comments may be
sent to Internal Revenue Service,
