Can I take a picture

I think you're gonna have to be a little more descriptive of "what" you want to take a picture of.  I don't think you can provide "a picture" of anything that has to be input to the IRS.  However, if you want to take pictures of the completed forms of your return I guess that's up to you.  But wouldn't you have to go to a lot of trouble to recreate that document or any part of it for future reference, or worse yet, for resubmittal to a taxing authority if all you had were pictures?
