DEERS' LITC is continually seeking CPAs, attorneys and other tax professionals to collaborate with its efforts to provide pro-bono advice and/or legal representation to low-income and ESL individuals and families that face controversy with the Internal Revenue Service.  Volunteer assistance to residents of Eastern Arkansas, Mississippi and Shelby County areas include:

  • Helping taxpayers interpret letters they have received from the IRS regarding their tax returns.
  • Helping those who do not have a social security number file a tax return by obtaining an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
  • Assisting taxpayers who have received an examination (audit) notice or who are involved with the Appeals Division of the IRS. 
  • And other tax related matters.

VOLUNTEER TIME COMMITMENT

The Clinic is open Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 12 Noon to 6 P. M. and Friday 10 A. M. to 2 P. M. and Saturday by appointment.  Ideally, volunteers should make a twice a month commitment.  However, there is flexibility in scheduling, and interested volunteers should speak with a DEERS' staff member about the details.
