HELP TAXPAYERS SELECT A PREFERRED LANGUAGE

Did you know that taxpayers can receive letters and notices from the IRS in their preferred language? As a

VITA volunteer, you can help them choose from 20 different languages during the tax preparation process. If

the taxpayer leaves this section blank, be sure to explain how receiving notices in their preferred language

can be helpful.

WHERE TO FIND THE PREFERRED LANGUAGE QUESTIONS: FORM 13614-C, INTAKE/INTERVIEW & QUALITY REVIEW SHEET – EXAMPLE QUESTION

Would you like to receive written communications from the IRS in a language other than English?

Yes No If yes, which language?

TAX PREPARATION SOFTWARE – EXAMPLE QUESTION

Taxpayers may not immediately receive written communications in their requested language. Taxpayers

will continue to receive communications in English until they are translated to their preferred language.
