Dan,

Tax Act is the only package which I know of which is accessible.

Subject: Tax Packages.

Yeah, I know this comes up every year.  Are any of the tax preparation
packages even slightly usable with a screen reader?  I picked up a copy
of Quicken's TurboTax and couldn't get much out of it.  There were
actually buttons that I could tab to, but could not find them on the
screen using the JAWS cursor.  So, I was never sure what the buttons were
referring to.

I've had a bad streak of very inaccessible software recently.  It's
starting to get on my nerves.

Anybody know of another tax prep package that is usable?  I don't even
care if it is quote accessible quote, just usable even if it is a pain to
work with.

Last year I was able to file my state on line and I was happy about that.

Thanks much.
