Federal Grant Award Summary

Texas A&M University received a $229,888 Project Grant from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) program (CFDA 21.008), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028. Through this award, the university will establish or continue a clinical program in which law, business, or accounting students represent low-income taxpayers in tax controversies with the IRS and other tribunals on federal tax matters. The program will serve as a resource for taxpayers with incomes not exceeding 250 percent of federal poverty guidelines and those for whom English is a second language.

The university will deliver comprehensive tax services including direct representation in IRS disputes, consultation on specific taxpayer tax issues, educational activities on various tax topics, and advocacy initiatives aimed at improving tax administration policies that impact the intended beneficiary populations. As permitted under program guidelines, Texas A&M University may utilize subrecipients in limited circumstances with advance approval from the LITC Program Office to help deliver key program components. All grant activities will be conducted in compliance with Office of Management and Budget Circular 2 CFR 200 requirements, with detailed record-keeping to substantiate costs and performance metrics.
