free DDIY tax prep solution, there
should be consideration to sell Credit
Karma Tax to the IRS so that the IRS
may directly provide this service to the
American people for free. The $50
million sale would account for <0.5% of
the IRS’s operating budget. While this
may be an extreme suggestion to some,
I believe it is time that the American
taxpayers get what they were promised
when the industry successfully lobbied
and created the Free File Alliance. The
FFA program has been a failure since its
creation and this is a once in a lifetime
opportunity to fix it and truly put the
taxpayer first, all for less than one half
of a percent of the IRS budget.
Sincerely,
Travis Curtis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Employer Assistance and Resource
Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN)
is a resource for employers seeking to
recruit, hire, retain, and advance
qualified employees with disabilities.
EARN assists employers through online
support and a range of education and
outreach activities, including webinars,
a website with employer-focused
resources such as toolkits, a monthly enewsletter, social media posts, and
training videos. It is funded by the U.S.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 81 / Thursday, April 29, 2021 / Notices
cooperative agreement with Cornell
University.
Phase 1 of the EARN Rapid Cycle
Research (RCR) process asked
employers about current approaches to
online outreach to people with
disabilities, the effectiveness of these
approaches, their information needs
related to online outreach, and
remaining priority information needs.
Building on this gap assessment relating
to employer outreach and people with
disabilities, there are two issues not
previously addressed and worth further
examination under the next phase of the
EARN RCR process. These are:
1. How to increase self-identification
of disability status in the recruitment
process, and
2. Understanding why jobseekers with
disabilities may choose to apply (or not)
to an organization.
In both cases, employers who
participated in the RCR focus groups
were interested in hearing directly from
jobseekers/employees with disabilities
about what might influence these
decisions. This project will query
individuals with disabilities about their
impressions of messaging from
organizations, specifically related to
career pages on the company website(s).
This inquiry directly builds from the
EARN Year One RCR-related efforts in
conducting a literature review on online
recruitment of and outreach to people
with disabilities, as well as a report
from a review of 40 Fortune 500
company career pages. Employers made
it clear that, given limited resources, a
strong case needs to be made for
innovations in this process, and, if only
a few things can be changed, they want
to understand what will be most
impactful in facilitating applicants with
disabilities to apply for their positions
and to identify as a person with a
disability. Findings will be used to add
the needed critical perspective of people
with disabilities to the development of
resources for employers related to
effective online outreach to people with
disabilities. These resources will be
available on the EARN website and
promoted throughout extensive
networks of employer national and
international professional associations
that are partnered with EARN.
Study objectives:
• To build understanding from an
applicant’s perspective of how employer
messaging in the online outreach
process impacts key outcomes related to
recruiting people with disabilities;
• To provide information and
resources informed by the perspectives
of people with disabilities that will
support organizations in improving
messaging in cost-effective ways.
