What is the best package for preparing income taxes? We don't have a lot of investments, except our house and some company stock, but we'd like assistance on what sort of things are deductable this year, etc. Your advice is much appreciated. -- ---------------------------------------------------------- David Barnes UUCP: {pyramid,sri-unix,ingr}!apd!dbarnes 415/852-2365 USPS: Intergraph APD, 2400 Geng Road, Palo Alto, CA 94303 ----------------------------------------------------------

They offer a complete package for $24.00 which is simple to use, and had no problems for the last two years. IRS accepted the reports without question - The 1040 itself is filled in by the user in ink using the data from the program since IRS is very particular about the use of that form. Bammel does offer 1040 laser printer forms for those rich enough to have such printers. I have no connection with Bammel other than that of a satisfied user who has ordered their package again this year.

No, you CAN print the 1040 on a printer provided you use the original 1040 form to print on. I have used an Epson dot matrix printer with this software for the last three years and have had no trouble. Dave Boyer
