The IRS is here to serve and support all of America’s taxpayers including, those who use assistive technology. The agency’s Alternative Media Center provides resources and accessibility services to taxpayers with disabilities.
Tax-related content is available in a variety of formats for use with assistive technology such as screen reading software, refreshable Braille displays and voice recognition software.
Hundreds of tax forms and publications can be viewed or downloaded in alternative formats including:
- Text-only
- Braille ready files
- Browser-friendly HTML
- Accessible PDF
- Large print PDF
The AMC is working to make IRS resources and information as accessible as possible. However, not every product is available in every alternative format.
