Plain-English Summary

The bill would change how the government funds free tax help clinics that serve low-income people by reducing the amount of money these clinics need to raise on their own to receive federal grants. Currently, clinics must match federal funding dollar-for-dollar with their own resources, which can be difficult for smaller organizations; this change would make it easier for them to operate and help more low-income taxpayers prepare their returns and resolve tax issues.
