that manufactures the Mac version of the Acapela voices is

I forgot to mention something. I found the process of dealing with TaxACT to be
easier on my iPhone. I have no idea why. The input of the basic information on
the Mac I found it easier easy, but when I got around to putting in the tax
information, I found my iPhone worked a lot better.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has found a more accessible tax filing solution than
the taxact site mentioned in the previous messages of this thread.
