Without having tested the seemingly complex pdf workaround,
I respectfully concede its validity.

I shall continue to obtain forms via phone or from a
computer equipped friend. <g

Hi, Victoria. At the irs.gov site, there is an option for
"accessible tax forms and publications" -- specifically
designed for those who are unable to download the adobe
acrobat files (.pdf). I went there and saved the following
link for you:

http://www.irs.gov/app/scripts/exit....mple_form.html

In order to get the .pdf converted to .html, you will have
to click on the Form you wish (as, for example 8812), then
after being advised that your browser cannot access that
type of document, use GoTo and try Last -- rather than
Present. That should display the .pdf URL, which you
weren't able to access, since you cannot "download."

Copy and save that, because you will need to paste it when
you seek a conversion to .html. Once you get that, you have
a "printable" text, which you should be able to use.

Hope this helps. If you have problems, don't hesitate to
email me. This 'user' is actually linked to a webtv unit.

Bill

The only way to obtain printable forms is to ask a friend
with a real computer to do them for you.

Or, you could order real forms from IRS via phone. The phone
number is 1-800-829-3676.

Are there any printable tax forms for web tv 2? For the IRS
site you need Adobe Acrobat. I have most forms already. I ed
the w-5 EIC and form 8812.
