Ms. Schneider et al, In the past I had used TaxAct on my Windows PC and it was definitely completely accessible via JAWS. After losing all my vision, I had hesitated to continue doing my own tax preparation because I was redisent about trusting the OCR to accurately identify digits - very important in tax preparation.
You have piqued my interest in trying to do the task myself once again. The TaxAct people do have an iOS app available in the App Store and I installed it on my iPhone 6 last night. I am going to give it a go and see how accurately the modern OCR is and whether or not the TaxAct app is as accessible as the Windows software package happened to be. I may even look into checking for a MacOS version of TaxAct. My younger brother has a tax preparation business in Ashland and I’ve had him do this for me since 1996 (lost all my vision in April, 1995). I will offer an analysis here after trying it out! **************** - Bill from Ino, Wisconsin - Dear Optimist, Pessimist, and Realist, While you guys were busy arguing about the glass of water, I drank it! - Sincerely, The Opportunist On Mar 7, 2019, at 4:23 PM, Lynn Schneider <canepri...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi everyone. Tax time is upon us in the US and I was wondering if there were ways to deal with this independently using my iPhone. I typically got help with this in the past, but was hoping to try doing it myself this time around since my economic situation has not changed much this year, so I anticipate that things should be pretty simple. Thanks in advance for any insights. Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
