We are a Hawaii non-profit organization funded by grants from the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic Program Office who is part of the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate. The program is led by the National Taxpayer Advocate who reports to the IRS Commissioner.

Our program priorities are to ensure the fairness and integrity of the tax system for taxpayers who are low-income or speak English as a second language by providing three key services:

3) PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES

We are strictly a Federal tax clinic and address only Federal tax matters. Through our tax and pro bono legal services, our federally-authorized tax practitioners and tax litigation counsel can resolve tax controversies before the IRS and U.S. Tax Court. Their services are free.

So, how would you know that your tax matter may require attention? Usually, you'll receive a notice in the mail from the IRS that tells you that you owe money to the government. The IRS notice is called a "30-day letter".

You must contact us immediately if you get such a letter because we can talk to the IRS appeals office and probably negotiate a settlement. But if you wait too long then our counsel will have to file a "petition" and represent you in Tax Court. This is a process that can be avoided if you get in touch with us as soon as you receive the 30-day letter. Remember, we handle only Federal tax matters. No State of Hawaii tax issues unless they relate to a Federal tax return.

2) TAX EDUCATION

We educate low income and ESL taxpayers about taxpayer rights and responsibilities. We offer free multi-lingual, remote consultations and classes that teach individuals so that no one has to fear the IRS.

Our clients are given free access to mini-courses simply by dialing in to a virtual conference room. There, they can speak directly to a tax expert who can answer almost any question they might have about federal or state tax obligations, regulations and procedures.

For those who work from home or who have a small business such as a landscaping service or some other sources of self-employment income, for example, Uber driver, we offer tips and tax planning advice to help you stay on top of your business. And for the more ambitious, we provide short business management classes with tools to improve your cash flows and to better manage your money. Online Federal tax tutorials began in June 2021 and continue each month thereafter.
