Low Income Taxpayer Clinic Support Center: The Center supports LITCs in the US and internationally through its LITC Support Center. The Center works with academics and practitioners in other countries who are interested in creating LITCs, and also works with tax agencies in those countries to educate them about LITCs. In the US, the Center also hosts a weekly litigation strategy call with US LITCs to coordinate litigation and identify emerging issues.

The Center also operates a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, providing pro bono representation to low income taxpayers and conducting outreach and education to English as a Second Language taxpayers about their rights and responsibilities as taxpayers.
