Purpose
This form is used to report certain information about the worked performed by a clinic while representing taxpayers in controversy
cases.
The Program Office uses the information reported on this form and the other reporting forms to determine the scope of services
provided and the breadth of work done by clinics. Data is also aggregated to provide program-wide statistical information about
services provided to low income and English as a Second Language (ESL) taxpayers. Please be careful to follow the instructions for
this form and to report all information completely and accurately.
Reporting Requirements
Controversy. If your clinic has been funded to provide representation in controversy cases, complete all parts of this form.
Reporting Period. Clinics are required to report on clinic activities twice during the grant cycle. The grant cycle is January 1 through
December 31 for the year in which a grant award is received. An Interim Report is required to report activities conducted for the period
from January 1, 2012, through June 30, 2012; a Year-End Report is required to report activities conducted for the entire grant cycle,
the period from January 1 through December 31, 2012. Check the appropriate box at the beginning of the form indicating for which
period the report is being completed.
Definition of a controversy case
A controversy is a dispute between a taxpayer and the IRS concerning the amount or collection of federal tax liability. In order for a
client relationship to qualify as a controversy case, the services provided by the clinic must include advocacy and not merely fact
finding or advice. Matters involving fact finding or advice only are properly counted and reported as one-on-one consultations on Form
13424-A. If a taxpayer (or jointly filing taxpayers) has multiple years at issue and the different years are being handled by different IRS
units, this would be counted as a single case. Multiple tax issues arising from a single case may be properly reported on Form 13424-
B.
