ASL Tax Tips

Silver Spring, MD - The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is again partnering with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to make sure that important tax information reaches the deaf community.

Last year, the IRS produced seven public service announcement (PSA) videos, “Economic Stimulus Payment Basics,” and a short 1040-A Instructional video in American Sign Language (ASL), open captions and voice over. The NAD partnered with the IRS in 2008 to distribute this information.

Now, during the 2009 tax season, the IRS has produced a new ASL PSA series entitled, “Tax Tips”, with open captions and voice over.

“We are pleased, once again, to make this new and important information available to deaf and hard of hearing Americans across the country,” said Nancy J. Bloch, NAD Chief Executive Officer.

Please check back often for new video updates between now and April 2009.

Watch the ASL Tax Tip videos by clicking each topic:

Direct Deposit (TRT- :44)
IRS can deposit your tax refund directly into your bank or checking account, even if you move or change your name.

Top Return Mistakes (TRT- 1:02)
Mistakes will slow down the processing of your federal tax return. E-file and let the system double check your return for you.

E-File (TRT - :49)
Electronically file your federal tax return and find out how you can get our refund much faster than mailing in a tax form.

Careers at the IRS (TRT - :55)
Are you interested in getting a job in accounting, customer services or collections? Consider working for the IRS, one of the world’s largest financial institutions.

Undelivered Refunds (TRT - :48)
Millions of dollars in tax refunds can’t be delivered to thousands of taxpayers. Most times, that’s because IRS has the wrong address, so the postal service can’t make the delivery. Find out how you can get your refund.

Standard Deduction for Non-Itemizers (TRT - :43)
This year homeowners who don’t itemize may get a bigger standard deduction.

IRS e-File Requires e-Signature (TRT- :50)

New information! e-Filed returns must be electronically signed.
For more information, go to the IRS website.
