University of Pittburgh School of Law Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic

The Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic provides free legal assistance to persons (based upon their level of income) who have federal and state income tax controversy or need federal income tax advice. The Clinic provides assistance and advice for income tax returns under examination with the IRS, taxpayers facing IRS tax-collection issues, and negotiation, settlement, and trial of tax cases pending before the U.S. Tax Court.

Clinic personnel decide whether to represent a client based on the following:

• The potential client's income
• The issues involved in the case
• The availability of clinic students

A student from the clinic will phone each qualified client to arrange a meeting to discuss the client’s legal needs. All conversations with clients are confidential.

Potential clients should call the clinic at 412-648-1300.
