IRS Accessible Tax Publications

These files contain accessible versions of IRS Tax Publications for use with the 2003 Filing Season.

Each product set has been compressed to a WinZip Self-Extracting file and is in an "executable" (.exe) format. Each executable file (product set) contains two items: a product file(s) in text-only and product file(s) in .brf format for Braille embossing. The text-only files can be used easily with screen enlargers, screen readers, refreshable Braille displays and most other accessibility software.

To download a product:

Use the table below to select the appropriate product . Once the product is selected, a dialog box will appear and allow you to save the file to disk.
Choose the location where you would like the file saved.
Double-click on the .exe file once the download is complete.
A folder will be automatically created containing the text-only file(s) and the .brf file(s).

Note: Some products contain multiple text-only and .brf files to accommodate size.
