Many pages of IRS.gov are now available in seven other languages: Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian, Korean, Haitian Creole, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
The 2020 version of Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax, will be available early next year in six other languages – Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
Taxpayers who interact with an IRS representative now have access to over the phone interpreter services in more than 350 languages.
