SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for the Tax Counseling for the

1978, Pub. L. 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 Internal Revenue Service 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 individual 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 1995 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.
