Accessibility Statement

Last updated:

Tax Genius Pro is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards. This page describes the standards we target, the assistive technologies we test against, the parts of the product where we know work remains, and how to reach us if you hit a barrier.

Standards We Target

Tax Genius Pro targets conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA published by the W3C. WCAG 2.2 AA is the working standard for U.S. ADA Title II and Title III digital accessibility expectations as of 2026 and supersedes our prior WCAG 2.1 AA target.

Because Tax Genius Pro serves Spanish-speaking customers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and parts of the European Union, we also align with EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (the European harmonized accessibility standard, which incorporates WCAG 2.1 AA and adds requirements for documentation, hardware, and non-web content) and with Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act (which references WCAG 2.0 AA via the 2018 ICT Refresh and is required for any federal procurement context).

Because tax preparation is a “Your Money or Your Life” (YMYL) property, we apply additional scrutiny to financial calculations, document upload flows, identity-verification screens, and any element that affects how much a customer pays or receives. Accessibility barriers in those flows are treated as severity-1 defects.

Measures We Take

  • Semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks for screen-reader navigation
  • Full keyboard operability with visible focus indicators
  • Color contrast targeting WCAG 2.2 AA (4.5:1 body text, 3:1 large text and UI components)
  • Descriptive alt text for informative imagery and aria-hidden for decorative imagery
  • Skip-to-main-content link on every page
  • Responsive layout that reflows to 320 CSS pixels without horizontal scroll
  • Prefers-reduced-motion support for animated marketing components
  • Dark mode with independently verified contrast ratios
  • Live regions (aria-live) for form submission feedback and async status changes
  • Bilingual support (English and Spanish) with correct lang attributes on every page
  • Independent accessibility audits performed before each major release

Assistive Technology Compatibility

We test Tax Genius Pro against the following screen-reader / browser combinations on each release. Other combinations are likely to work but are not part of our regression suite.

  • NVDA (latest) + Firefox and Chrome on Windows 10 / 11
  • JAWS (latest) + Chrome and Edge on Windows 10 / 11
  • VoiceOver + Safari on macOS (latest) and iOS (latest)
  • TalkBack + Chrome on Android (latest)

We also verify keyboard-only operation in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, and we verify 200% browser zoom and OS-level text-size scaling in the same browsers.

Conformance Status

Tax Genius Pro is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means that some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard; the known gaps are listed below and tracked to resolution.

A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT 2.5 INT) mapping each WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion to its current support status is available on request via the contact channel below. Enterprise customers and procurement reviewers can ask for the latest VPAT and our most recent third-party audit summary.

Known Limitations

We disclose known issues so users and procurement reviewers can make informed decisions. Each item below has an owner and a target fix date in our internal tracker.

  • PDF tax-form exports. Some downloadable PDF forms generated by upstream IRS templates are not fully tagged for screen-reader navigation. If you need an accessible version of a specific form, email us and we will send a tagged copy.
  • Third-party embeds. Calendar booking widgets, payment iframes (Square), and chat widgets are provided by third parties whose accessibility we monitor but cannot directly control. We document any barriers we observe and pressure vendors for fixes.
  • Marketing landing pages. A small number of campaign-specific landing pages use highly stylized typography that may not meet 4.5:1 contrast against gradient backgrounds. These pages are being reworked.
  • Complex data tables in admin views. Admin-only reporting tables (not customer-facing) are still being refactored for full row/column header association. Customer-facing tables are conformant.

This list is maintained in good faith. If you find a barrier we have not listed, please tell us — we add it within five business days of confirmation.

Feedback and Contact

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on Tax Genius Pro, please let us know. We respond within two business days and aim to resolve confirmed barriers within 30 days. If a fix will take longer, we will tell you and give you a workaround.

Email us at [email protected] or visit our contact page. When reporting a barrier, the following information helps us reproduce the issue quickly: the URL, your browser and version, your assistive technology (if any), and a description of what you expected versus what happened.

Enforcement

If you are not satisfied with our response, U.S. customers may file a complaint with the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. EU customers may contact their national accessibility enforcement body under the European Accessibility Act.
