Dennis, I always scan each document two or three time, rotating them. I also make sure to scam them with and without column him recognition. Then I compare the results, allowing the majority rule

However, neither Abby Finereader nor Kurzweil does well enough preserving the formatting with sufficient accuracy that I would trust that I am obtaining from a 1099 a dollar amount from the correct line specified by Turbo Tax. This is why I was curious to know how Aaron or anyone else who is blind is able to do their own taxes. For this reason, I always use a reader with Turbo Tax, but it would be great to be able to do ones own taxes without having to share rather personal information with a third party.

Each year we receive a number of 1099 forms, and as I recall, Turbo tax will ask for example, "enter the dollar amounts from lines 10, 14 and 20. I've been puzzled what I could do to use TurboTax without a reader, because I don't know in advance which of the many dollar amounts on such forms will be requested. Your advice and experience would be very appreciated.

Some years I have found it to be less accessible than others, but this year I didn’t encounter any problems using JAWS/Firefox. https://turbotax.intuit.com/ Regards, Aaron M. Page, B.S.
