How to Disable your Pop-up Blocker
TaxAct Online uses pop-up windows in various places throughout the program as you prepare and file your tax return. If you are using "pop-up blocker" software that prevents additional browser windows from opening, you may need to exclude 'www.TaxAct.com' from the blocked sites list in order to complete your tax return.
For help with this, find your internet browser in the list below and follow all steps:
