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
