Tax & economic

Justice Program

Our tax Program is an IRS-designated LOW-INCOME Taxpayer Clinic.

Although we receive funding from the IRS, the Clinic and its employees and volunteers are not affiliated with the IRS.  A taxpayer’s decision to seek assistance from the Clinic will not affect the taxpayer’s rights before the IRS. 

The Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic works to resolve taxpayers’ federal tax controversies and does not generally provide tax preparation services. Representation from an LITC will not result in IRS giving preferential treatment in handling the dispute or problem and will not affect the taxpayer's rights before the IRS.

Do you need help with the IRS?

If you are in the middle of a tax controversy with the IRS, we can help. As a recognized Low Income Taxpayer Clinic with the IRS, we provide legal representation for clients throughout Indiana whose income is at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines

We also offer educational outreach programs to inform low-income and immigrant taxpayers of their tax rights and responsibilities.
