The Tax Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that represents low-income taxpayers in their disputes (controversies) with the IRS. We help taxpayers who do not already have representation in their case and who cannot afford to pay for high-cost legal representation or tax assistance. We will not handle cases with more than $50,000.00 in dispute. The Tax Foundation does not assist with tax preparation unless there is an underlying tax issue that requires tax preparation and filing. Our mission is to provide low-income taxpayers the ability to get the help they need at an affordable cost. We believe low-income taxpayers should have access to reputable and professional services to help relieve the stress of tax debt. Through generous donations from our donors, some taxpayers may be eligible for significantly reduced fees. However, assistance is contingent upon available funding at the time of application.
