Does the IRS have tax assistance for disabled taxpayers?

Yes. Telephone help from the IRS for disabled taxpayers with impaired hearing is available using TDD equipment, in either English or Spanish. The toll-free number for this service is 1-800-829-4059.

If you are unable to complete your tax return because of a physical disability, you may obtain assistance from an IRS office, or VITA, the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program.

Disabled taxpayers that are hearing impaired but who do not have TDD equipment may be able to obtain access to it through local agencies for the hearing impaired. The IRS TDD service is generally available during normal business hours.

Braille materials for disabled taxpayers that are visually impaired are available at any of the 142 regional libraries in conjunction with the national library service for the blind and physically handicapped. To locate your nearest library write to the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Library of Congress at 1291 Taylor Street, North West, Washington, D.C. 20542. These materials are limited to IRS Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax, IRS Publication 334, Tax Guide for Small Business, and Form 1040, Form 1040A, and Form 1040EZ, all with instructions, and tax tables.
