NFB et al. v. HDVest, Intuit, H & R Block, and Gilman & Ciocia - Tax Software Accessibility

This case involved the National Federation of the Blind and other blind advocates filing complaints against multiple tax software providers and tax preparation services for failing to make their software and services accessible to blind users. The case addressed accessibility barriers in tax preparation software that prevented blind users from independently preparing and filing their tax returns. This was one of the early cases addressing software accessibility under the ADA. The settlement required the defendants to make their tax preparation software and services accessible to blind users, ensuring that blind individuals could independently prepare and file their taxes using assistive technology.
