I guess there's no way to take the time consuming aggravation out of filing tax returns under this ridiculously complicated Internal Revenue Code. There is certainly something to be said for Carly Fiorina's three-page tax code. LOL I know that schedule C filings are terrible to say the least. In any event, thanks to everyone for your feedback about TurboTax and other online filing services.

I found the program to be accessible, but you need to make sure to read each screen--at least, I have to do that because I want to see every detail.  Also, there are a lot of steps, and if they walk you through all possible deductions, it just takes time.  I'm definitely not looking forward to doing taxes, but I will do it myself for as long as I can.

>>> Greetings colleagues, I am wondering if anyone has investigated some of the online tax filing services to determine if they are screenreader accessible. For quite sometime my wife and I have engaged a professional CPA to file our taxes. However, this has become a very expensive proposition overtime especially since the CPA has changed associations to a different CPA firm.

All of this being said, I am wondering if anyone has had experience with TurboTax or any other online tax filing services and what kind of luck you have had in terms of screenreader accessibility.
