Free Help With IRS Tax Problems From MidPenn Legal Services

MidPenn Legal Services runs a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic that gives free legal advice and representation to low-income taxpayers, and to taxpayers who speak English as a second language, in disputes with the Internal Revenue Service.

The clinic handles Innocent Spouse Relief, Injured Spouse Claims, audits, deficiency notices, Earned Income Tax Credit appeals, identity theft, liens and levies, and employee or independent contractor disputes. An attorney can advise you and can also represent you in the dispute. The clinic also puts on educational programs about tax issues for social service agencies and Latino outreach organizations.

MidPenn's services are free to eligible individuals in civil cases. The page does not print an income limit or say how income is checked, so ask when you call.

To reach the clinic directly, call 1-844-MPLS-TAX, which is 844-675-7829. To apply for MidPenn services generally, call 1-800-326-9177 or apply online at apply.midpenn.org. The 800 number is the help line for people in Adams, Bedford, Berks, Blair, Centre, Clearfield, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Mifflin, Perry, Schuylkill and York Counties. MidPenn's administrative offices are at 100 North Cameron Street, Suite 401 West, Harrisburg, PA 17101, and the administration phone is (717)234-0492.

The page gives few other details. It does not say what the clinic's hours are, how long a case takes, what documents to bring, or whether there is a wait, so ask about all of that when you call.
