Utah Tax Help Services

Utah Tax Help Services, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Pleasant Grove, Utah, is a recipient of federal grants under the Internal Revenue Service's Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITC) program (CFDA 21.008), delivering direct tax representation and educational services to low-income taxpayers with emphasis on English as a Second Language populations.

Utah Tax Help Services operates exclusively as a grant recipient under the LITC program. The organization has received three consecutive annual LITC grants from the IRS: $200,000 awarded January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024; a follow-on award covering 2025; and a three-year award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, also valued at $200,000. Under these grants, Utah Tax Help Services provides tax representation before the IRS and other tribunals on federal tax matters for taxpayers with household incomes not exceeding 250 percent of federal poverty guidelines, conducts educational activities on taxpayer rights and responsibilities, and engages in advocacy for improvements to IRS processes and administration. Services are targeted to low-income and non-native English speakers and must be delivered at no more than nominal cost to eligible beneficiaries.

The IRS represents the sole customer agency across Utah Tax Help Services' federal footprint. In limited circumstances and with advance program office approval, Utah Tax Help Services may utilize subrecipients to deliver program elements; the source reflects one sub-award dated April 13, 2026, under which the organization will administer tax assistance services to low-to-moderate income Orem residents. Combined federal obligations across all grants and sub-awards total $509 thousand. Activity runs at one award per year in 2024 and 2025, accelerating to two awards in 2026, reflecting the transition from single-year to multi-year grant structures under the LITC program.
