IRS Videos in ASL Available on YouTube
With tax season in full swing, did you know that deaf and hard of hearing
consumers can find answers to their tax questions directly from the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) in American Sign Language (ASL)?
The IRS has built a YouTube channel complete with a series of ASL
videos—that are also voiced and captioned—on a myriad of tax topics,
including e-File and Direct Deposit, Free File and Fillable Forms, Education
Tax Credits, Unemployment Compensation and Home Energy Credits. ASL videos
on many more important subjects for taxpayers will be added as they become
available.
Just go to the IRS YouTube channel here (see below) to see ASL videos that will help
you complete your taxes this year. You can post and share these videos
through your websites, vlogs or other social network venues. Click on the
subscriptions button at the top of the YouTube page and you can find out
right away when future videos become available.
