I have used Turbo Tax online in the past. The interface is mostly WCAG compliant, though there's always one or two quirks to figure out each year. By and large I would recommend it as an accessible solution to filing one's taxes independently. I have not investigated any solutions that run locally on one's PC.

I have heard good things about TurboTax online. Unlike some of Intuit's other products like QuickBooks, the online version of TurboTax was created using modern web technologies. From what I understand, Intuit has an accessibility team led by Ted Drake that focus on making their web and mobile applications AT compatible and WCAG compliant.

Would you happen to know of any accessible tax preparation and filing software? Back in the old days, when most of us who prepared and filed our taxes ourselves via our PCs, we were basically limited to having to either purchase desktop editions of apps or physically go into a tax office. I seem to remember H and R block's desktop apps being reasonably accessible, would you happen to know whether or not that's still the case? I know everything now days is all about the cloud, or online only filing, yada yada yada, but as an aging millennial, stuff like that makes me feel kind of nervous. I still prefer to have one hundred percent control and access to, well, you know, the things that I, create! You know, haha, the stuff that's, mine! I'm all for filing via the net (or electronically as the IRS is so fond of calling it) and I certainly do not want to sit down and have to complete the entire process physically on paper, line, by line, by line like we used to have to do, again I am an aging, millennial, but a millennial all the same. Haha... Are there any accessible apps that you'd recommend for tax preparation and filing?
