The Washington University Low Income Taxpayer Clinic was founded in 2014 to provide free legal services to taxpayers with an IRS controversy in the greater St. Louis area.
The Clinic does not prepare tax returns, but instead advises and consults with taxpayers that are already in a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service.
This dispute could involve any interaction with the IRS that a taxpayer might have- ranging from being audited to already owing back taxes.
We can assist in anything from an initial audit to representing a taxpayer in Tax Court.
We also deal with many other issues, including innocent spouse issues, setting up installment agreements, and even helping taxpayers get a “fresh start” through an offer in compromise. Getting a notice from the IRS can be scary at the best of times and it is often difficult to know how to navigate within the IRS to get your problem resolved.
We are experts in this area and are here to help guide you through the process.
To become a client of the Clinic, a taxpayer must be have a controversy with the IRS.
This means that the taxpayer must have gotten a notice from the IRS indicating that there is some sort of problem.
In addition, the taxpayer’s controversy amount (including interest and penalties) cannot exceed $50,000 for any given tax year.
Finally, the taxpayer’s income cannot exceed 250% of the Federal poverty line. For someone living alone, this would mean that his/her income could not exceed $31,900 for the year 2020.
If someone had one other person in their household, household income could not exceed $43,100.
This limit increases with each additional household member. Tax issues can be scary, and getting a lawyer can be cost prohibitive.
We are here to provide free first-class legal services to qualifying taxpayers.
If you need help with a tax issue and meet the above qualifications, or know someone that does, please call (or have them call) the Clinic at (314) 935-7238.
We look forward to helping you resolve your tax issue.
In addition, you can contact us by filling out an online survey. You can access the survey by just googling Washington University Low Income Taxpayer Clinic and clicking on the “prospective client” button.
