Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITC) ensure the fairness and integrity of the tax system for taxpayers who are low-income or speak English as a second language:

  • By providing pro bono representation on their behalf in tax disputes with the IRS;

  • By educating them about their rights and responsibilities to taxpayers, and

  • By identifying and advocating for issues that impact low-income taxpayers.

United Way of Merced County is a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC), with a focus on education and outreach to the community.

  • Start or continue your learning on financial literacy

  • Learn about your responsibilities as a taxpayer

  • Get in-depth education on subjects you wnat to learn more about

At this moment, United Way of Merced County does not offer pro bono representation or any other legal service, as we only focus on education and outreach. If you are looking for legal support, please visit the Taxpayer Advocate Service Website to find others in your area. Click here.

Educational Workshops

We want to provide more than just free tax prep. We want to help the community build their financial literacy and be able to learn ways to become financially independent. Understanding the US Tax System is one of those stepping stones.
