American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), was signed into law. ARRA includes key provisions that impact individuals and families. The bulk of the tax provisions affect tax year 2009 — individual tax returns due April 15, 2010 and tax year 2010 — individual tax returns due April 15, 2011.

The IRS continues to work diligently to implement the various tax-related provisions of ARRA as quickly as possible. As soon as guidance becomes available, it is being posted on www.irs.gov/recovery.

The publication attached (Publication 4787) is an overview of some of the key ARRA provisions affecting individual taxpayers, including people with disabilities. Hard copies of this publication will be available shortly.

Below are links to videos that contain information on several key provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The videos are audio for the visually impaired, with an ASL interpreter.
