Special assistance is available for persons with disabilities. If you're not able to complete your return because of a disability, you can get help through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS): Link opens in a new windowhttps://www.irs.gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-you-by-volunteers.
Telephone assistance for the deaf and hard of hearing is available for individuals with TTY/TDD equipment. TTY/TDD users may call 800-829-4059 (see telephone and local assistance for hours of operation at Link opens in a new windowhttps://www.irs.gov/help/telephone-assistance) to ask tax questions or to order IRS forms and publications. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and who don't have this equipment may be able to obtain access through the federal or state relay services.
The IRS welcomes calls via your choice of relay—whether you use relay through Videophone, AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), Computer, Captioned Telephone (Captel), or TTY. Deaf or hard-of-hearing taxpayers using a relay service may call any of the IRS's toll-free numbers.
