Found a bug in the Tax program for Multi plan for the Macintosh. If you try
to fill out the Exemptions as you would on an IRS form you may end up with too
many exemptions. Instead of carrying over the R8C3 and R8C5 to R8C7, R9C3 and
R9C5 to R9C7 and number of children to R10C7 as one sum the program counts
each group and therefore sums up too many dependents when it moves it to R51C7.
Also I found that if you have a lesser amount of Dividends then the total
allowable exclusion(R15C7 < R16C7) you end up with a credit for R17C7. It is
best to put zeros if you have no DIVIDENDS. I tried to correct the program
but it is locked by the author and can not be corrected without the password.
