IRS Announces free grant applications '07 LITC Grant Recipients
Free grants are better than loans so send your applications !
Washington (May 24, 2007 found at WebCPA, NY) - National
Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson announced that the Internal Revenue Service has
awarded almost $8 million in matching grants to Low Income Taxpayer Clinics for
the 2007 grant cycle.
LITCs are classified as organizations that provide representation for free
(or for a nominal fee), to low-income taxpayers involved in tax disputes with
the IRS, or that provide education on taxpayer rights and responsibilities to
taxpayers who have limited English proficiency.
Under the LITC program, the IRS awards matching grants of up to $100,000 a
year to qualifying organizations. For the 2007 grant cycle, the IRS awarded LITC
grants to 154 organizations representing 49 states, plus the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam. (The LITC Program Office has already opened a
supplemental period for accepting LITC applications for the 2007 grant cycle for
the state of Colorado, which currently has no LITCs.)
A list of organizations awarded a matching grant -- along with the amounts
awarded -- is available at, www.irs.gov/pub/newsroom/2007_low_income_taxpayer_clinics.doc.
More information about applying for a grant is available on the Taxpayer
Advocate Web site, at www.irs.gov/advocate/index.html.

“There’s so much inventory out there that the buyer can pick and choose,” said Susan Sirles Fidler, a Realtor at Re/Max 10, Oak Lawn. But she cautioned, “The stuff that’s almost free is almost free because it’s going to cost you an arm and a leg to put it back together. It’s not buyer beware as much as buyer be smart.”
