University of Pittsburgh School of Law Tax Clinic

The Taxpayer Clinic offers law students opportunities to gain practical lawyering skills while representing low-income taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Students are supervised by experienced tax law attorneys who also are Pitt adjunct faculty members. The clinic is funded by the IRS's Low Income Taxpayer Clinic grant program (LITC), though the clinic is independent of the IRS. Clients are individuals who have disputes with the IRS concerning their federal taxes; however, the clinic does not prepare tax returns.
