The IRS has awarded nearly $150,000 to three San Francisco nonprofit agencies to provide free tax help through the IRS Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) program. No other grants were
awarded in Northern California.
LITCs are organizations that represent low-income taxpayers in federal tax controversies with the IRS for free (or for a nominal charge in some cases) and provide tax education and outreach for taxpayers who speak English as a second language.
Through the LITC program, the IRS offers matching grants to qualifying organizations. The three grantees in San Francisco are:
Homeless Prenatal Program - received $47,744.00
API Legal Outreach (Nihonmachi Legal Outreach) - received $52,718.00
San Francisco Bar Association's Volunteer Legal Outreach - received $53,712.00
The LITC program is administered by the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate Service led by National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson. Questions about the grants or the LITC program should be addressed to the LITC Program Office at or by email to:
