Adobe Reader will allow you to read the forms provided by the IRS as well as complete the software on-line. The Adobe software should be self-loading if you click the "OK" button when it appears on your screen.
As for the W-2 forms, many companies load their information to a secure server for the convenience of their employees so that the major tax preparation software companies can access the data automatically, provided the individuals provide their social security numbers, relevant personal data, and permission for the companies to access the data (all controlled in the software). This service allows the software to load the data without the user re-keying the data, thus eliminating keystroke errors. You may elect to key the information in to the software if you choose. Also, not all companies upload the W-2 information to the secure servers.
