Form 13424-C: Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) Advocacy Information Report

Form 13424-C, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) Advocacy Information Report, is completed by Low Income Taxpayer Clinics, not by individual taxpayers. The instructions say it is used to report all systemic advocacy issues submitted, written materials published, television and radio appearances made, and public service announcements aired during the reporting period.

The instructions say the Program Office uses the information on this form and the other reporting forms to determine the scope of services provided by clinics, and aggregates it into program-wide statistics about services to low income and English as a Second Language (ESL) taxpayers. Clinics report twice for each grant year, in an Interim Report and a Year-End Report. The form notes that these reports may be released under the Freedom of Information Act after appropriate redactions.
