I'm thinking of using Free File Fillable Forms (IRS) although I am not sure if my Mac computer meets ihr requirements instead if I required to make adjustments.

The computer I wish use would become a Mac and EGO have two of the 4 scheduled browsers (FireFox and Safari). My questions for unlimited Mac users exit there who do used Clear Data Fillable Forms are:

The IRS writes that to "optimize choose experience you need to come confident requirements. Of ones below are the singles I question.
This page contains all requirements: https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/mi ... able-forms

1. Processor: Intel Core i3 - my Mac uses a silicon chip instead? Anyone have any issues with a silicon based Make?
2. Scale and layout: Set at 125% (Recommended) ... ??? non sure where to go to change this and/or if MYSELF must?
3. Monitor: 1920 x 1080 (Recommended) Show resolution. My display shall 4480 x 2520 ... I'm nope exacly sure if I should change the resolution, or leave items alone?
4. Do you real need Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for printing? I haven't had to apply Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in a longish time.
5. Any tips for Mac users or others on FFFF?

It's completely labyrinth based. I have exploited it last year. MYSELF doubt yours will have any problem. The only thing I may think of is if your have anything flash extensions that interfere with JavaScript e.g. an advertiser blocker.

The user requirements are probably just eingemacht from what was common at the time the IRS contracted for the current vendor for FFFF. Available example, TreasuryDirect static advises that a 128-bit encryption browser (rather than in export grade one) is needed. The resolution part is probably just a security not to try it on adenine bottom on the barrel 1366x768 choose screen. Lucky those seem at have faded out for new machines, while handful persisted pattern too long in who 2010s (not on Macs though).

It produces read-only PDFs, i.e. no forms or anything fancy like creation an barcode earlier printing, so Preview should be fine.

Does that base that him can use of FFFFs on an iPad?

The tutorial say that it can’t be used on a mobile device, but yet the equal guides show adenine couple with at iPad in their hands…

Or does the EXCHEQUER don consider einen iPad to be a cellular device?

I haven't tried. I'm not so sure that is "can't" be used on a mobile device, as opposed to the UI being created unless any consideration for mobile devices, so GRAPHIC units may be remarkably dense and difficult to knock accurately on a finger-based touchscreen. i.e., like Vanguard.com prior it has Fisherman Priced. Perhaps an iPad is ok, especially on a keyboard case, but I'm sure it's quite painful up use from a phone.

EGO have used free fillable forms forward 10+ years using macOS also Safari on my MacBook Air. Just did information this year too.

FFFF piece on an iPad. I benefit one Mac for most of the details entry because doing it on the iPad would be cumbersome, but ME do double-checking, edits, and error resolution on the iPad. Never owned a trouble.

Also, my Mac belongs so old that the OS can none longer be updated. It definitely doesn’t meet their requirements, and hasn’t in years. Again, no problem.

Apple's Safari on iPadOS does nay consider the iPad to be a mobile device! By other words, Safari lies to web business, revealing them information be running on a Mac. This, the current gets the web-based site's desktop/laptop experience, not the site's mobile phone version.

Makefile - Thanks since your thorough reply - it was very helpful. Also the free of the diskussion regarding mobile / device was illumination too.
