IRS Form 14446 Farsi – Are you a Persian-speaking taxpayer seeking free tax preparation help through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) or Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs? If your tax return involves virtual or remote assistance—where intake, interview, or quality review isn’t fully in-person—you’ll need IRS Form 14446 Farsi, the official Persian-language consent form.
This comprehensive guide explains everything about Form 14446 Farsi (Rev. November 2023), why it exists, how to complete it, and where to download the official PDF directly from IRS.gov.
What Is IRS Form 14446? (Virtual VITA/TCE Taxpayer Consent)
Form 14446 is the “Virtual VITA/TCE Taxpayer Consent” form. The IRS requires it whenever a VITA/TCE volunteer site uses any virtual/remote process instead of 100% in-person service. This includes:
- Drop-off sites (you leave documents and return later)
- Intake-only sites (documents sent to another location for preparation/quality review)
- Return preparation or quality review-only sites
- Combination sites
- 100% virtual sites (no in-person contact at all)
The form ensures you understand and consent to the site’s specific remote procedures, data security measures, and how your sensitive information (SSN, W-2s, etc.) will be handled and shared securely.
The Farsi (Persian) version — cataloged as Form 14446 (fa) — provides the entire document in clear Persian script so Farsi-speaking taxpayers can fully understand their rights and the process without language barriers.
Revision date: November 2023 (Rev. 11-2023)

Why the IRS Created a Farsi Version of Form 14446?
The IRS offers Form 14446 in more than 20 languages to serve America’s diverse communities. The Persian/Farsi edition helps Iranian-American, Afghan, and other Farsi-speaking taxpayers confidently participate in free VITA/TCE services. It explains:
- Risks of transferring data between sites
- How the site will contact you for additional information
- Identity verification methods (photo ID, SSN card/ITIN)
- Secure file-sharing procedures
- Your right to consent (or decline) random IRS quality reviews
Without a signed consent form, the site cannot prepare your return using virtual methods.
