SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for the Tax Counseling for the

1978, Public Law 95-600, (92 Stat. 12810), November 6, 1978.
Regulations were published in the Federal Register at 44 FR 72113 on
December 13, 1979. Section 163 gives the IRS authority to enter into
cooperative agreements with private or public non-profit agencies or
organizations to establish a network of trained volunteers to provide
free tax information and return preparation assistance to elderly
individuals. Elderly individuals are defined as individuals age 60 and
over at the close of their taxable year.
Cooperative agreements will be entered into based upon competition
among eligible agencies and organizations. Because applications are
being solicited before the FY 2005 budget has been approved,
cooperative agreements will be entered into subject to appropriation of
funds. Once funded, sponsoring agencies and organizations will receive
a grant from the IRS for administrative expenses and to reimburse
volunteers for expenses incurred in training and in providing tax
return assistance. The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Program is
referenced in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance in Section
21.006.
