IRS Accessible forms and formats

[kestrell]

Yesterday I received a letter from the IRS, and it was actually a *welcome* letter, as it also had copies in large print and YES! *BRAILLE!* And it announced the URL to its accessible formats and information webpage, so here it is. Note that there is a second URL which includes ASL videos.

IRS Accessible Forms & Publications
https://www.irs.gov/accessible

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-only, Braille ready files, browser-friendly HTML, accessible PDF, and large print.

Our PDF tax forms comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1; however, the IRS does not advise filling out forms on mobile devices.

I should see what I can find out about Canada Revenue Agency procedures and practices in support of accessibility.
