LITC grant forms simplified to cut paperwork
If you run or plan to run a Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) as a not-for-profit, the IRS revised the grant application forms to reduce data collection and paperwork. Form 13424-M was revised (including a ‘‘Continuation’’ checkbox so returning applicants fill only required fields), and a new Form 13424-R will replace Forms 13424 A, B, C, K, and N; the agency says it reduced data points and anticipates the time to complete will be reduced significantly. The IRS estimates 130 respondents, about 43 hours 53 minutes per respondent, and 9,338 total annual burden hours for this collection.
Opportunity to comment on LITC application changes
You can comment on the proposed LITC Grant Application Package and Guidelines; written comments must be received on or before May 20, 2025. The IRS invites feedback on the forms, burden estimates, ways to minimize burden, and estimates of costs related to providing the information.
