IRS: Tax Assistance Available
Tax season is upon us! With all those forms to fill out, where do you
turn for help? The IRS has made hundreds of federal tax forms and
publications accessible. Visit
https://www.irs.gov/uac/irs-gov-accessibility. You can choose from large
print, text, accessible PDFs, e-Braille, or HTML formats that are
compatible when used with screen readers and refreshable braille displays.
The IRS also provides videos in American Sign Language at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el-xueE-ZDYlist=PL634968897EAEA4FDindex=3
and has a dedicated ASL YouTube Channel at

For those who are unable to complete their tax returns because of a
physical disability, or are age 60 or older, you may get assistance
through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) or Tax Counseling
for the Elderly (TCE) programs. You can find a nearby VITA or TCE
location by using the locator tools at
https://www.irs.gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-you-by-volunteers
or by calling 1-800-906-9887
Publication 907, “Tax Highlights for Persons with Disabilities,”
explains the tax implications of certain disability benefits and other
issues, and is available at https://www.irs.gov/publications/p907/index.html
