KYCC’s LITC works with volunteer attorneys to assist with cases. Often, there is more demand than availability. You may be assigned to a waiting list until a qualified volunteer can take on a case. To start, call the KYCC Low Income Tax Clinic message line at (213) 232-2700.
KYCC’s LITC receives funding from the IRS. The clinic, its employees, and volunteers are not affiliated with the IRS.
