Accessible forms and publications

 

The Internal Revenue Service offers content in a variety of file formats to accommodate people who use assistive technology such as screen reading software, refreshable Braille displays, and voice recognition software. We have prepared hundreds of tax forms and publications that can be downloaded or viewed online in text, e-Braille, HTML, accessible PDF, and large print. For more details, visit the Information about the Alternative Media Center page.

Our PDF tax forms comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the latest version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG); however, the IRS does not advise filling out forms on mobile devices unless you are using our specifically designed mobile-friendly forms.
