A: If you meet the low income qualifications, you can find assistance at a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, many of which have student attorneys supervised by practicing attorneys. However, outside specific law clinics, a student can't help you with your petition because that could constitute unauthorized practice of law.

If you want a representative, they have to have a Tax Court Bar Number in order to represent you before the Court.

If you wish to handle the issue on your own, the Tax Court provides information and guides for you to use at https://www.ustaxcourt.gov/taxpayer_info_start.htm.
