: Accessibility of tax Filing process
I'm glad people are able to use tax act.com to do their taxes from the
Mac. Last year, I did it using Firefox on a linux machine and it
generally went well until I ran into their CAPTCHA that I encountered
every time I wanted to efile my return. Thank

about this ?

Hi there
For federal returns, you can input everything. This includes W-2s and 1099s of
all iinds. However, I have not a clue if this is true for the State returns.
If the state has a requirement for sending in these image files, then you might
be stuck with image files. Here's my suggestion.
Hi again
I forgot to mention something. I found the process of dealing with TaxACT to be
easier on my iPhone. I have no idea why. The input of the basic information on
the Mac I found it easier easy, but when I got around to putting in the tax
information, I found my iPhone worked a lot better.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has found a more accessible tax filing solution than
the taxact site mentioned in the previous messages of this thread.

Thanks. Actually I've started the process and the Federal is going well. I'm
having somebody sighted come and make sure everything is input correctly and
next year I'll be able to import a lot and it will be easier. I'm also going to
do my state with taxact even though I will pay for it because
No, I don't think it's weird at all and I thought about doing that; maybe I
will next year. But so far doing it on my computer is going very well. I'm
actually ready to file the Federal but want a sighted person to review the
information and compare it with last year's form and my W2; next year
Okay, I have a question, and maybe you have figured out the answer. I have a
1099 MIS see that I know I'm going to have to go back and edit. This is because
Delmead put it in with all the information I had a time, but I discovered I
left out for example the tax identification number. Have you
I am wondering what makes these sites beter than using the irs's own electronic
filing system. Is it inaccessible? I am thinking about filing electronically
for the first time this year and am not up to date on all the options. Thanks
for catching me up.

Unless there is something new (which is possible), the IRS doesn't offer,
unless you're an employee, direct electronic filing. You have to go through an
approved electronic filer. I don't believe, unless things have changed, that
you can just electronic file directly from your computer to the
Thanks for that summation. I guess those electronic pdf files which you refer
to are some service of the irs? I'll take a spin on their website.

The IRS doesn't provide its own e-filing system; Its website gives a list of
providers of software and/or online programs from which you can choose. There
isn't an IRS free-file or e-file that you can use independent of software
providers. This is different than some states which do have their
The alternative media center is somehow contracted to do these things. They
produce publications, forms in both PDS TXT and BRF files. The PDF files are
altered to be accessible. The regular PDF files, at this time, are not
accessible, so the alternative media center fixes them to be that way.
Yes, I know this is a little OT but I download the brf or text files every year
to figure out my returns manually before I go through the process especially if
I'm taking them to somebody else to do! If you go to the IRS website and to
accessibility you can find them. And you can fill in the
Hi there
Well, this brings our topic back on to the Mac subject. Let me tell you what
I did last year. After I downloaded the text files, I selected all the text for
the form that I wanted and put the text of the form into numbers so that I have
a column B that had the Text of the form.
Hi Cheryl.
First, how far have you gone in this process? If you have not already started
sending through your state's web site, you may be able to send both your
federal and state at the same time. Although there are some issues with
accessibility which I can further explain if you need to
Thanks for the information; I had been planning to use Taxact but saw the
state's free e-file and wanted to investigate it. I haven't done anything yet
except go through the forms manually and figure everything out as to refund
amounts so I will know what I'm doing when I actually file. So if
Hi all.
I've been getting things to gether to do my taxes and was looking at the
process for my state. I see that after I get my acknowledgment back I have to
send them an attachment with files of my w2, rent certificate, and other
papers. I would imagine maybe the IRS requires this for the
