System Requirements

Delivered on CD-ROM. Your initial installation for a tax season must generally be from the CD-ROM we send you. Call for other options if you have no CD or DVD drive in your computer.

Microsoft Windows (95, 98, 2000, NT 4.0, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8, etc.). CD or DVD drive required for each year's initial installation. Graphic printing generally requires a Windows printer and sufficient memory to hold multiple graphic forms. (Graphic printing is supported on older printers only for HP PCL4-compatible printers with compatible tax fonts using a parallel port connection.) CAUTION: 64-bit Windows may require additional software. See our home page for information on using Tax Preparer with 64-bit Windows 7. (No additional software required for 32-bit versions.) Call for information on using Tax Preparer with 64-bit versions of other versions of Windows.

e-file requirements. To e-file you must have internet access (high-speed recommended) and a hard disk with sufficient free space. You must also have the Standard or Premium Level software for the current filing season, must purchase e-file transmission software, and must have an IRS-issued EFIN.

Internet access recommended. With internet access you can get instant, FREE updates to your software and on-screen manuals as we make changes througout the tax season. (You can request any posted update on disk instead for $15 per disk.) And you can get the IRS forms and publications not yet released when the disk(s) we send you were prepared. (Internet access is required if you plan to e-file any returns with Tax Preparer.)
