TaxACT is both a software application and a web site; both designed to assist persons obligated to file income tax forms with the United States department of revenue. More than that, it also has "state modules" where such persons can also file state tax forms. I used the software application for many years; until my personal data got a bit more complicated than I could conveniently scan for data entry (as I'm totally blind, I'd need to depend on scanning to "read" pertinent information from tax documents). Now my brother files my tax forms for a small fee (he's a bookkeeper and does taxes as a side business) and he also uses the commercial version of TaxACT. I can tell you that the onboard application (as opposed to the web site) is very accessible although you do need to modify JAWS scripts because each executable is named for the year (i.e., TaxACT04, TaxACT05, TaxACT06, etc) so you need to have equivalent script files appropriately named to function for the variance in program name -- this is not difficult at all. As for the web, never used it personally so can't speak to that. ---- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: [email protected] - "A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin." - US Editor and Satirist, H.
