Can the Clinic Help Me?

  1. What kinds of cases does the Clinic accept?

    Answer: At this time the clinic is only considering cases from potential clients with federal income tax matters. Individuals with IRS matters should call 202-274-4144 or email tax@clinc.wcl.american.edu. Examples include audits, appeals, refund claims, collection letters, and other IRS letters. The clinic does not prepare tax returns. We do not accept walk-in applications for assistance.

  1. If the clinic can’t help me, where can I go?
