Trish, As a long time Turbo Tax user, I can attest to the fact it is NOT JAWS friendly. My wife, who is sighted, and I do our taxes together so it is not an issue. Possibly the on line version would be for those wanting to use it. The new JAWS OCR function will help with some of the screens and buttons

Now that made me to laugh...what person or screen reader in their right mind would like any such program? grins ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2012 7:15 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] tax act 2011 deluxe I did my taxes yesterday using this program and I must give it good marks for accessibility. OK the IRS forms are a nightmare but the software itself was really not much of a problem. You have to alt F4 out of the help screens which it does not tell you but all of the buttons and edit fields work as they should. This was a download and JAWS handled it with the default settings. Now if we could only manage to get those people to simplify the tax code it wouldn't shoot an entire Saturday afternoon and part of an evening to fill out a few forms.
