IRS expands services for visually impaired taxpayers
The IRS is improving the accessibility of its forms, publications and correspondence to blind and visually disabled taxpayers as a result of the settlement in a lawsuit brought by the National Federation of the Blind. The settlement, which was reached in July 2020, requires the IRS to produce certain of its forms and publications in alternative formatting for visually impaired taxpayers. The settlement prompted the IRS to create Form 9000, Alternative Media Preference, which allows a taxpayer to elect to receive certain types of written correspondence, in large print, Braille, audio (MP3), plain text (TXT) or Braille-ready file (BRF).
