Can VITA provide a computer for E-Filing?

VITA has a limited number of  Windows XP Professional laptop computers with the TaxWise Software installed.  The computers are checked out on a site basis, and in very rare cases on an individual or shared basis.  Since demand for these computers is greater than the number available, they are allocated by the IRS VITA Contact based on the potential for the largest number of returns that can be completed on them.  Past experience showed that unfamiliarity with the computer can cause computers to lock up.  During the busy tax season, it is hard to find someone with time to reinstall the software, and the the computer is removed from service.  Computers may be assigned to people familiar with laptops who are knowledgeable about Windows XP, and TaxWise.  This means you must have taken the TaxWise E-File 3 hour training or have had prior experience with TaxWise.
