Hi Cheryl I think, although I can't tell for sure, that other things that may cause problems is doing something like a Schedule C. I have a blind friend that had no problems last year, except the Capsha. The imports didn't cause me problems either. I got lost in the help menu and couldn't figure

Today I sat down to work on my taxes using Taxact just as I did last year. Because of Eugenia's report I did so with some trepidation. I was working om my iMac. I chose to use importing but I don't think this in and of itself affected possible accessibility issues since I still had to go step-b

Hi Cheryl I thought I had my act together, and went into it thinking I would have no trouble because I had all my 1099's etc. I actually got pretty far, but made a mistake and went too far on one of my expenses. Filing a Schedule C is a lot of fun with screen reader on this thing if you make a
