The Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) Program is now accepting applications for matching grants from qualified organizations. The application window runs from May 6, 2026 through July 6, 2026, with the grant period of performance set for January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027.
Applicants may request up to $200,000 for the 2027 grant year. The program operates on a matching grant basis, meaning every dollar awarded by the IRS must be matched equally by the recipient organization. Services must be provided for free or for no more than a nominal fee.
Special consideration will be given to organizations serving underserved communities, including Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. In Florida specifically, priority counties include Brevard, Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, St. Johns, St. Lucie, and Volusia, among others.
The LITC Program, administered by the Taxpayer Advocate Service under National Taxpayer Advocate Erin M. Collins, supports clinics that provide pro bono representation to low income taxpayers, educate ESL communities on taxpayer rights, and advocate for systemic issues affecting these populations.
Optional informational webinars are scheduled throughout May and June covering application basics, the LITC Grants Portal, budget planning, and Q and A sessions.

THE TTR TAKE
If you’re a tax pro in Florida (especially in one of the priority counties listed) this is real funding to do meaningful work in your community. The LITC program isn’t just charity work, it builds reputation, generates referrals, and connects you with the Taxpayer Advocate Service. For firms looking to grow through community impact rather than paid ads, this is the play. Applications close July 6.
