I thought Bill Holton's March article, Accessibility of the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9″, was a generally good review. I particularly enjoyed the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9″ review by Bill Holton and Deborah Kendrick's article about the free Window-Eyes for users of Microsoft Office offer. The March edition of AccessWorld is wonderful. You won't obligate yourself to file with a particular vendor by simply setting up an account. I found TaxSlayer to be pretty easy to work with also.įinally, if you don't have a good experience with your first choice, I would encourage you to try another vendor. If you live in a state with an income tax and your income is under $30,000, you might also evaluate TaxSlayer, since it also offers a free state return. Of the 14 Free File vendors, I found and FreeFileUSA to be the most screen-reader friendly. I have been generally disappointed with the accessibility of accounting and tax products offered by Intuit, although I understand the company is making strides as of late in QuickBooks access. The primary navigation links were also not responsive. I had a similar experience in my second session. JAWS seems to recognize TaxAct screen controls, but I was unable to advance through the Federal Q&A or basic info. In evaluating TaxAct offered through Free File, I found that I was able to establish an account, but the account setup confirmation e-mail I received was inaccessible. I don't know if you're a JAWS user, but I know at one time JAWS provided helpful scripts for TaxAct, though this may have been exclusive to their regular online version. Perhaps this is different with their regular online version which I did not evaluate. I was told by an IRS representative last year that TaxAct is accessible, but I did not find this to be the case in my Free File evaluation. Thank you for your nice comment regarding the Free File article. Response from AccessWorld author Dennis Walsh: Is it accessible? What about Turbo Tax, a for-purchase software? I was told that TaxAct is screen-reader accessible and had planned on using that package. I am going to prepare my tax return independently for the first time this year, and I truly appreciate Denis Walsh's timely article, Evaluating IRS Free File.
