IRS Forms Online

[Kelly Ford <kford@teleport.com>]

Hi All,

Last year I mentioned how I'd discovered the state of Wisconsin using forms
made with Adobe Acrobat that one could actually complete electronically and
then print.  In reviewing <http://www.irs.gov/forms_pubs/fillin.html> I now
see that the IRS has numerous forms available online that also appear in
Acrobat with the ability to complete the form electronically.

These forms are different than the typical Acrobat file that has no
interactive capability.  They are not different in that they are just as
problematic and really not accessible.

We hear all this talk about section 508, the ADA and the rest of the
disability legislation that's supposed to make things better.  I still
wonder when the rubber meets the road what reality will be.  What is the
IRS doing to improve accessibility to the tax process for example?  Will
the 508 guidelines, which I thought were due out on the 7th of this month
but that I still can't find, actually change situations like this?
