(2,332 posts)Let me do our taxes for free online. Didn't need copies of anything for submission. I entered information from the husband's W-2, assorted 109X forms that we needed, and then our Adjusted Gross Income from the previous year. And again--I did not have to submit any forms for it. Just enter the data from those forms, and send the return through 1040.com.
Also, the device you're using does not matter. It's access to a browser that matters. So you can submit the information on your tablet, a phone, a laptop, whatever. The device is immaterial, outside of storing a copy of the tax return.
If you're still having printer problems, then save your return to your hard drive or tablet. Most of the tax prep companies save them in PDF form. Then transfer the data to a thumb drive or smart card. Or you may be able to print from a tablet or phone via a cable that runs from your device to USB. Now check to see if your printer has a USB port. Many of the modern ones let you print directly from there, rather than through your computer.
If your printer doesn't have the port, take the drive or device (w/USB cable) to an Office Depot, UPS store or other such printing place, and get physical copies printed up for a few bucks.
