Use a Federal Form 13424 Low Income Taxpayer Clinic LITC Application 2016 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What Federal Form 13424 is

Federal Form 13424 is an application associated with the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic program, used by an organization seeking to present clinic information and supporting responses for federal review. In signNow, the workflow begins by uploading the form, reviewing auto-detected fillable fields, assigning the authorized signer, and sending the document for completion. The finished application can be downloaded with its audit trail. SignNow records signing activity, while the applicant remains responsible for following the IRS instructions, submission method, eligibility requirements, and applicable recordkeeping duties.

Who works with this application

Tax clinics

Tax clinics and nonprofit legal programs can use the form to collect organizational information, application responses, authorized signatures, and supporting records. A controlled signNow workflow helps separate preparer access from signer access, while the audit trail records when the application was reviewed and completed.

Clinic sponsors

Universities, legal-aid organizations, and other eligible clinic sponsors may coordinate contributors who prepare or approve application materials. SignNow templates, delegated sending, and downloadable completion records can reduce duplicate versions without changing the organization’s responsibility to follow IRS instructions.

Business types using this application

Federal Form 13424 applications benefit organizations that coordinate tax-clinic information, approvals, and supporting records across multiple contributors.

  • Solo tax practices can prepare Federal Form 13424 applications for clinic clients, preserving organization details, supporting narratives, and approval records in one controlled workspace.
  • University law clinics can coordinate faculty, students, and administrators through shared templates, delegated sending, and role-based access while preparing LITC application materials.
  • National nonprofit organizations can standardize multiple clinic applications with reusable templates, centralized administration, and audit trails that document each signer’s completed action.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Privacy controls for LITC applications

  • Sensitive taxpayer information can appear in attachments or narratives; limit document access to personnel assigned to the LITC application.
  • Missing electronic-consent evidence can weaken the signing record; capture consent before requesting signatures from application contributors.
  • Overbroad folder permissions may expose clinic budgets, contact details, or supporting materials to users without an application-related responsibility.
  • Sending the application to an unintended recipient can disclose nonprofit or taxpayer information; verify signer identity and email addresses first.

The organization remains responsible for confirming the IRS submission method and signature requirements.
